--- name: brief-16ebe4de57de description: > Session-start briefing from Origin. Reads the project status file (the /handoff-maintained ledger of Active/Backlog work), then loads identity, preferences, and topic-relevant memories so the agent walks in with context. Surfaces any memories the daemon has flagged for human revision before the session uses them. Invoked as `/brief [topic]`. Call FIRST at session start, before any other Origin verb. argument-hint: "[topic]" allowed-tools: ["Bash", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__context", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__recall", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__list_pending_revisions", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__accept_revision", "mcp__plugin_origin_origin__dismiss_revision"] --- # /brief Pull a curated session brief from Origin. Three sources, in order: 1. **Project status file** — what `/handoff` last wrote. Authoritative for "what's left to do" right now. 2. **`context` MCP** — identity, preferences, topic-relevant memories. Background, not ledger. 3. **`list_pending_revisions`** — daemon-flagged memories awaiting review. Status file wins on "what's next" because memories rank by topic similarity and surface stale items alongside fresh ones; the status file is the live ledger maintained per session. ## 1. Read project status file first Detect project root: ``` Bash: cd_repo=$(git -C "$PWD" rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null); echo "${cd_repo:-no-git}" ``` - If output is a path → `` = basename (e.g. `origin`). - If `no-git` → `` = cwd basename. Read `~/.origin/sessions/_status/.md`: ``` Bash: cat ~/.origin/sessions/_status/.md ``` If the file exists, render its `## Last session`, `## Active`, and `## Backlog` sections verbatim at the top of the brief output, under a heading like `Status (last session )`. This is the authoritative "what's left" frame. If the file is missing, say nothing about it. First-time projects haven't been handed off yet. ## 2. Call context Call the `origin` MCP server's `context` tool. If the user passed a topic argument, pass it through. Otherwise infer scope from the working directory and the conversation so far — don't ask the user. ``` context(topic="", space=) ``` **Scope inference rules:** - `topic`: if user omitted args, pass the most recent topic from the conversation (file or feature being discussed), or omit for a fresh general brief at session start. - `space`: from cwd. `~/Repos/origin/...` → `"origin"`. Other repos → repo name. Outside any repo → omit. Always pass when scope is known; if uncertain, run `list_spaces` later (post-PR-C) or omit. ## When to use - Session start — call BEFORE any other Origin tool. - Major topic shift mid-session. - User says "catch me up", "what's the background on X", "remind me about Y". - Mid-session check-in to confirm assumptions. ## When NOT to use - Specific factual lookup → use `/recall` (more targeted). - Storing a new memory → use `/capture`. - End of session → use `/handoff`. ## How to use the result Treat the status file as the live ledger (what's next), and the `context` memories as background (how the user thinks). When the status file says an item is done but a memory still says it's pending, trust the status file — memories don't auto-supersede. If you see drift, flag it inline rather than parrot the stale memory. Model how the user thinks. Their preferences, corrections, and past decisions tell you how they want to be helped, not just what they already know. Don't just look things up: adjust your behavior. ## 3. Pending revisions check After loading context, call: ``` list_pending_revisions(limit=10) ``` If the result is empty, **say nothing**. Do not print "0 pending revisions" or any "all clear" line. The brief is already noisy enough. If the MCP call errors, log a one-line warning and continue. Do not error out the brief. If the result is non-empty, render a block at the end of the brief (after the context summary, before handing back to the user). The daemon returns rows already sorted by `last_modified DESC`; just slice the first three. Each `PendingRevisionItem` carries `target_source_id`, `revision_source_id`, `revision_content`, `source_agent`, and `last_modified`. The original memory's content is **not** on this response. The block displays the proposed revision text and the target memory id; if the user wants to see the original before deciding, they can run `/recall ` first. ``` Pending revisions ( total, top 3 shown): 1. target: mem_abc123 (proposed by ) revision: "Origin uses Turso libSQL fork (libSQL-server) for vectors..." Action: accept (replace original) | dismiss (drop revision) | skip 2. ... ``` Inline accept/dismiss verbs map to: - accept: `accept_revision(target_source_id="")` - dismiss: `dismiss_revision(target_source_id="")` - skip: no call; the revision stays pending for the next /brief If ` > 3`, end the block with one line: ``` Run `/review revisions` to walk the rest. ``` Do not auto-action anything. The user picks per item. Note: this block surfaces *all* pending revisions, not just this session's, because revisions are about memories you may still be using right now, regardless of when the contradiction was flagged. --- Source attribution: davepoon Original project: https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude/blob/a1103092fa571c032ae3e706433505ce0d6327bc/plugins/origin/skills/brief/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Dave AI. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2025 davepoon Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
