brief

/brief

Read one Space's current project snapshot. The daemon Brief is authoritative; ~/.wenlan/sessions/_status/*.md is only a one-way human-readable receipt and must never be read as product state.

1. Resolve the Space

Run the bundled resolver once. It prints the resolved Space line itself; an empty space means unscoped, so omit space.

raw_args="<the full argument string passed to /brief>"
# The resolver ships inside the installed plugin; the relative path only
# exists in a wenlan checkout.
resolver="$(find "$HOME/.codex/plugins/cache" -path '*/wenlan/*/bin/resolve-space.sh' 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
resolved="$("${resolver:-plugin-codex/bin/resolve-space.sh}" --cwd "$PWD" --args "$raw_args")"
space="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f1)"
source_layer="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f2)"
topic_arg="$(printf '%s\n' "$resolved" | cut -f3-)"

2. Read the Brief

Call:

mcp__wenlan__brief(
  topic="<topic_arg only when the user supplied one>",
  space="<resolved only when non-empty>"
)

Do not invent or infer a topic when the argument is absent. No topic means the complete Brief alone. A topic means the same complete Brief plus a separate Related Context section scoped to that Space.

Brief reads never create state. If the state is brief_not_created, explain that the first /handoff update will create it. If the state is space_not_resolved, ask for a Space only when the working directory and configuration cannot resolve one safely.

Render:

1. Last-session summary.
2. Active items.
3. Backlog items.
4. Related Context, only when returned.

Keep stable item IDs and versions available for later /handoff reconciliation, but do not clutter the normal user-facing list with them.

3. Pending revisions

After the Brief, call:

mcp__wenlan__list_pending_revisions(limit=10)

If empty, say nothing. If the call fails, emit one warning and keep the Brief. If non-empty, show at most the top three with target_source_id, revision_content, and source agent. Never auto-action them.
