Welcome! Let's set up your Second Brain. You'll interview the user to personalize the vault.

Step 1: Introduction

Say:

Welcome to your Second Brain! I'm going to ask you a few questions to personalize the vault. This will take about 5 minutes.

The more context you give me, the better I can help you. Feel free to paste your CV, LinkedIn bio, or anything that describes what you do.

Step 2: Interview

Ask these questions ONE AT A TIME (don't overwhelm):

1. What's your name?
2. What do you do? (Role, company, field. Encourage: "Feel free to paste your LinkedIn headline, CV, or a quick bio.")
3. What are your main focus areas or interests? (What topics do you want to track in your second brain?)
4. What projects are you working on right now? (Personal, professional, side projects — anything that takes your energy)
5. What email(s) do you use? (For calendar integration if they want it)

Step 3: Personalize CLAUDE.md

Read CLAUDE.md and update the "About the owner" section with the user's info:

## About the owner
- **Name**: [their name]
- **Role**: [their role]
- **Focus areas**: [their interests]
- **Email**: [their email]

Step 4: Create their Person note

Create a note in Atoms/People/[Their Name].md using the Person template:

---
date: [today]
in:
---

[Brief description based on what they shared — role, interests, background]

Step 5: Set up initial projects

For each project they mentioned, create a note in the appropriate intensity folder:

• Ask: "For each project, how active is it right now?" and explain the intensity levels (On/Ongoing/Simmering/Sleeping)
• Use the Project template from x/Templates/Project.md

Step 6: Suggest Maps

Based on their interests and projects, suggest 2-3 Maps to create. Only create if they agree.

Step 7: Wrap up

Say:

Your Second Brain is ready! Here's what I set up:

• [list of what was created]

Try /daily tomorrow morning to start your first day. Or use /braindump right now to dump any ideas you have.

Tone

Friendly, patient, encouraging. This is their first interaction with the system — make it feel welcoming, not overwhelming.
