Brief Source

This repository is a Brief Source for The Agency. Every push to the connected branch is built into a Brief and delivered by the Handler to every Location in your Organization.

• Every file under a published directory ships, including the .gitkeep placeholders. Delete them once you add real files.
• Files outside these directories (this README, for example) are ignored.
• Symbolic links are not allowed anywhere in the repository.
• the-agency-hq-settings.json marks this repository as a Brief Source. Leave version at 1.0.0.

Mission Types

A Location declares the Mission Types it accepts when it is set up with handler init. A file with no Mission Types goes to every Location. To limit a file or a directory, add a .mission-types file with one Mission Type per line. Matching is case-insensitive.

File	Applies to
skills/deploy/SKILL.md.mission-types	Only skills/deploy/SKILL.md
skills/deploy/.mission-types	Every file under skills/deploy/
.mission-types (repository root)	Every file in the repository

The nearest declaration wins: a file's own <name>.mission-types beats its directory's .mission-types, which beats any parent directory's. .mission-types files are never published.

Example skills/deploy/.mission-types:
