SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents wasted context and redundant MCP tool calls by ensuring every session starts from the consolidated Daily Brief, reducing token burn and improving alignment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory first-call MCP brief-fetch: Loads Daily Brief state for the configured agent identity (e.g., Wagner/Felipe/Maiara/Luiz) before any other project exploration.
  • Reduces redundant queries: Avoids repeating cycles-active, sessions-recent, tasks-active, decisions-search, and other brief-aggregated lookups.
  • Staleness-aware refresh and exceptions: Supports force refresh only when explicitly requested or when staleness exceeds threshold, with defined safe fallbacks when MCP is unavailable.

Quick Start

At the start of your Oimpresso work session, ask your agent to call the MCP tool brief-fetch for your configured name prefix and then use the returned brief as the sole base context for subsequent actions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce redundant MCP tool calls at the start of an agent session?

To reduce redundant MCP tool calls at session start, load a consolidated Daily Brief before acting. It fetches current state, recent decisions, and charter guidance in a single call, preventing wasted context and token burn from repeated exploration queries.

What is MCP context management for daily project briefs?

MCP context management for daily briefs consolidates cycles-active, sessions-recent, tasks-active, and decisions-search lookups into a single fetched markdown document. This base context improves agent alignment and avoids unnecessary tool exploration during human-driven or agent-driven workflows.

How do I load a Daily Brief before executing agent workflows?

To load a Daily Brief before executing agent workflows, invoke the configured MCP brief-fetch tool first. Use the full returned markdown sections as the sole base context for subsequent actions, ensuring the agent operates with current state and telemetry.

Does brief-fetch support force refresh when MCP project state becomes stale?

Yes, brief-fetch supports force refresh when MCP project state becomes stale. It triggers a refresh when staleness exceeds a defined threshold or when explicitly requested, and applies safe fallbacks when the MCP server is unavailable.

Can I use token optimization for agent sessions without losing project governance context?

You can optimize tokens without losing project governance context by loading a consolidated brief first. This prevents repeating brief-aggregated lookups, supplying charter guidance and skill usage telemetry as base context while avoiding redundant queries that consume tokens.
