Triggers on: "save this", "remember", "note", "capture", "brain dump", daily/weekly reviews, searching stored knowledge, managing projects/areas/people. Works with any AI agent that reads markdown. Stores everything as .md files in a Git repo for Obsidian, VS Code, or any editor.

BrainRepo

Your personal knowledge repository. Capture fast, organize automatically, retrieve instantly.

Brain Location

Fixed path: ~/Documents/brainrepo/

This is not configurable. All brain data lives here.

First Run Check

Before any action, check if brainrepo is initialized:

1. Check if ~/Documents/brainrepo/ exists with expected structure (Inbox/, Projects/, Areas/)
2. If NOT found → Run onboarding automatically
3. If found → Proceed with user request

Onboarding

Triggers automatically on first interaction, or when user says "set up brainrepo":

1. Create brain at ~/Documents/brainrepo/
2. Create the folder structure:

mkdir -p <path>/{Inbox,Projects,Areas/personal-growth,Areas/family,Notes,Resources,Journal,People,Tasks,Archive}

3. Create initial files from templates in assets/templates/:

   • Tasks/index.md — task hub
   • Areas/personal-growth/index.md — personal growth area
   • Areas/family/index.md — family area

4. Initialize git (optional):

 <path> && git init && git add -A && git commit -m
