card-refresh
openbooklet.com/s/card-refreshopenbooklet.com/s/[email protected]GET /api/v1/skills/card-refreshUse when refreshing stale Brigade memory cards from the care refresh queue - category allowlist, grounded edits that cite on-disk sources of truth, archive-only retention, and reinforce-in-place instead of near-duplicate siblings (#724). Never delete, remove, or prune.
Brigade only earns its keep if real work flows through it. Installed and never used, it is dead weight: the daily brief is empty, the outcome ledger never fills, and `outcome rank` says "ranking: none". This skill is the loop that feeds it. Check what is pending, run your verification *through* Brig
Use when turning Brigade's native ready set, outcome rank, and ROADMAP.md into a dependency-filed plan artifact under .brigade/work/plans/ - propose GraphTrail-derived edges (blocks from def/use, conflicts-with from write overlap) marked derived and requiring confirmation. Degrade cleanly when GraphTrail is unavailable. Never a subcommand.
Use when draining a Brigade handoff review inbox - triage drafts with allowlist-bound Brigade handoff commands, grounded edits that cite on-disk content, archive-only retention, and reinforce-in-place when ingest already matched a known fact (#724). Never delete, remove, or prune.
Use when a diff carries side effects - database writes, migrations, file mutations, network calls, payments, queue messages - to check whether running it twice is safe. Also when reviewing retry logic, crash recovery, or anything a scheduler, queue, or impatient caller might re-run. Silent when the diff touches no side-effecting surface.
Use when the user asks for ultra work, scout work, broad pre-implementation scouting, or parallel investigation before a large Brigade task. Designed for Codex and other SKILL.md harnesses that can delegate or split work.
