gbrain

Proactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Runs `gbrain advisor` on a cadence and pings the user with the top high-leverage actions for their brain: version drift, pending migrations, stalled jobs, low embed coverage, setup smells, and uninstalled brain skills. Read-only; always asks before fixing.

When/what to retrieve — open the brain page for a salient entity before answering from memory.

Validate and auto-repair YAML frontmatter on brain pages. Catches malformed pages before they enter the brain (missing closing

Deduplicate and synthesize raw concept stubs into a tiered intellectual map (T1 Canon to T4 Riff), tracing idea evolution across sources over time. Transforms thousands of raw concept pages into a curated intellectual fingerprint.

Trace one idea's evolution through the brain: first mention, best articulation, related concepts, reversals, contradictions, abandoned branches, and the current live version. Use for single-idea conceptual lineage, not broad concept-map synthesis or structured entity metrics.

Route to Mars (introspective thought partner / demo showman voice persona). Used when the operator wants depth, meaning, or impressive social demos rather than logistics. Mars handles SOLO mode (philosophy, presence, patterns) and DEMO mode (tool-driven showmanship) automatically.

Route to Venus (sharp executive-assistant voice persona). Used for logistics — calendar, tasks, recent messages, brain lookups — at sub-second phone-call latency. The default voice persona unless DEFAULT_PERSONA=mars is set.

Set up GBrain with auto-provision Supabase or PGLite, AGENTS.md injection, first import

Keep gbrain current. When a `gbrain` invocation prints an `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>` marker (or `gbrain self-upgrade --check-only` reports an update), apply it per the configured self_upgrade.mode: notify (prompt the operator with a 4-option question + snooze) or auto (apply silently). The action is always the hardcoded `gbrain self-upgrade` — never a command read from the marker.

Self-evolving skill optimization via SkillOpt-paper-grounded text-space optimizer.

Read, enrich, and write brain pages with source attribution.

Migrate a brain from gbrain-base (or any pack) to gbrain-base-v2's 14-canonical-type taxonomy via gbrain onboard --check + the unify-types Minion handler. Collapses 94 noisy types to 15 canonical with subtypes, alias rows, and link rows. Triggers when an agent notices pack_upgrade_available, type_proliferation, or asks "what is the canonical taxonomy / how do I clean up my page types".

Schedule management with staggering, quiet hours, and wake-up override. Validates schedules, prevents collisions, and gates delivery during quiet hours.

Filing gate for ALL brain writes. Consulted before creating any new brain page to determine the correct path. Reads the ACTIVE schema pack via `gbrain schema show --json` — no hardcoded directory table. Also runs periodic taxonomy drift detection via `gbrain schema review-orphans`.

Lift a proven skill from a host repo (e.g. your OpenClaw fork) back into gbrain's bundle so other clients can scaffold it. Editorial workflow: the CLI does the file copy + privacy lint; this skill drives the judgment-heavy genericization (scrub real names, generalize triggers, lift fork-specific conventions to references).

Read a book, article, transcript, or case study through the lens of a specific strategic problem you're facing. Produces an applied playbook that maps the source onto the problem and gives short/medium/long-term recommendations. NOT for general book summaries.

Ingest a voice note with exact-phrasing preservation (never paraphrased). Routes content to originals/, concepts/, people/, companies/, ideas/, personal/, or voice-notes/ based on a decision tree. The user's exact words are the signal.

Evolve your brain's schema pack. Add page types, propose new ones from corpus scans, backfill page.type on existing pages, audit pack health. Triggers when an agent notices untyped pages, custom domains needing typed entities (researcher, contract, deposition), or wants to see what types the pack declares.

Post-call handling for a voice session — turn the transcript into a brain page, post the summary to the operator's messaging surface, archive the audio. Belt-and-suspenders: fires both from a tool the voice persona can call mid-call AND from the automatic call-end handler in server.mjs.

Everything In Its Right Place. The universal post-work organizer. After any significant work session, EIIRP runs a 7-phase audit: (1) inventory every output, (2) walk taxonomy to decide where each lands, (3) check schema-pack consistency against the brain's actual shape, (4) file enriched brain pages, (5) audit the skill graph for DRY+MECE, (6) verify resolvability, (7) report. Named after the Radiohead song. Nothing produced during significant work lives only in chat — knowledge becomes permanent, patterns become reusable.

Save any thought or content into the brain via one CLI command. The single human-facing entrypoint that replaces "put_page vs commit-then-sync vs autopilot-wait" with one command that just works.

Compress an agent's routing file (RESOLVER.md or AGENTS.md) by converting granular skill-per-row tables into functional-area dispatchers. Each area lists sub-skills in a "(dispatcher for: ...)" clause. The LLM reads one area entry and routes to the correct sub-skill. Proven via held-out A/B eval: dispatcher pattern outperforms naive pipe-table compression.

External-lookup skill with canonical Convention callout

External-lookup skill with explicit Phase 1 brain heading

Skill that runs gbrain search before external lookup

Pure-infra skill that opts out via frontmatter

External-lookup skill with NO brain-first compliance

Skill that uses multiple external tools without compliance

Skill where brain reference precedes a negation-prose mention

Skill that operates purely on local state

Skill with typo in brain_first declaration

Reference skill demonstrating the 10/10 skillpack contract. Adds a "what does this skillpack do" answer to the user's agent.

Brain health checks: back-link enforcement, citation audit, filing validation, stale info detection, orphan pages, and benchmarks. Use when asked to check brain health, run maintenance, or audit quality.

Compile daily briefing with meeting context, active deals, and citation tracking

Reusable pattern for presenting the user with explicit choices and gating execution until they respond. Used by other skills when a decision point requires human input before proceeding. Platform-agnostic — works on Telegram (inline buttons), Discord, CLI, or any agent with a message tool.

Day-one data bootstrapping for a new brain. Sequences the highest-leverage data sources to go from empty brain to useful brain in one session. Uses ClawVisor for safe credential handling — the agent never holds raw API keys. Covers Gmail import, calendar sync, contacts seeding, X/Twitter archive, conversation imports, and file archives. Use when a user has just finished gbrain setup and asks "now what?"

Transform raw article text dumps in the brain into structured pages with executive summary, verbatim quotes, key insights, why-it-matters, and cross-references. Replaces walls-of-text with quotable, actionable brain pages.

Verify a research claim or academic citation by tracing it through publication → methodology → raw data → independent replication. Routes through perplexity-research for the actual web lookup, then formats results as a citation-checked brain page. Use when a book/article/conversation cites a study and you want to confirm the claim is real, replicated, and accurately characterized.

Ingest video, audio, PDF, book, screenshot, and GitHub repo content into the brain. Multi-format handling with entity extraction and backlink propagation. Covers video-ingest, youtube-ingest, and book-ingest subtypes.

Brain-augmented web research. Sends brain context about a topic to Perplexity, which searches the web with citations and returns what is NEW vs what the brain already knows. Use for entity enrichment, current-state checks, deal monitoring, and freshness deltas. NOT for simple URL fetches (use web_fetch) or brain-only queries (use gbrain query).
