Set up the WikiBrain memory vault on this machine — adopt project memory dirs via symlinks, install the wikibrain skills, ensure the private remote. Use after cloning the vault on a new machine, when a new project's memory should be adopted into the vault, or when the user says "set up wikibrain".

Installation

description	Set up the WikiBrain memory vault on this machine — adopt project memory dirs via symlinks, install the wikibrain skills, ensure the private remote. Use after cloning the vault on a new machine, when a new project's memory should be adopted into the vault, or when the user says "set up wikibrain".

wikibrain-setup

The vault is the repo this skill lives in (resolve ~/.claude/skills/wikibrain-setup — it symlinks to <vault>/skills/wikibrain-setup; default ~/personal/WikiBrain). Every step is idempotent — re-running only picks up what's new.

Locate the vault. Missing → this is a new machine: confirm with the user, then clone their private vault repo there.
Run install.sh. It adopts every ~/.claude/projects/*/memory dir (contents move to memory/<slug>/, a symlink stays behind; worktree scopes and existing symlinks are skipped), symlinks skills/* into ~/.claude/skills/, and creates a private repo via gh when origin is missing. Done when it prints done. and every WARN line has been surfaced to the user with what resolving it takes.
Verify. Done when all four hold:
- git -C <vault> rev-parse --show-toplevel prints the vault path itself (guards against a parent repo — e.g. a git repo at $HOME — reaching in)
- every adopted memory path is a symlink whose MEMORY.md reads through it
- ~/.claude/skills/wikibrain-* all resolve
- git -C <vault> remote get-url origin shows a private repo
First machine only: hand off to wikibrain-sync to land the initial commit and push.

wikibrain-compact

ccomkhj/wikibrain-starter

Compact the WikiBrain memory vault back within its context budgets — merge, rewrite, and archive memories, applying only user-confirmed actions. Use when the user says "compact memory" or "clean up memory", or when more than a week has passed since the last `memory: compact` commit.

wikibrain-recall

ccomkhj/wikibrain-starter

Recall past decisions and learnings from the WikiBrain memory vault — across all projects, its archive, and git history. Use when the user asks what they decided/learned/know about something, whether they've hit a problem before, or to search their memory.

wikibrain-sync

ccomkhj/wikibrain-starter

Sync the WikiBrain memory vault — commit and push to its private GitHub repo. Use when the user says "sync memory", after a session saves memories worth keeping, or when another wikibrain skill lands changes.
