# My Brain Is Full — Crew

> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Daily 2026 Skills collection

A crew of 10 AI agents embedded in your Obsidian vault that manage knowledge, nutrition, and mental wellness through natural conversation with Claude Code. Built by a PhD researcher for people who are drowning — not just optimizing.

---

## What It Does

The Crew installs 10 specialized agents into your vault's `.claude/` directory. Each agent has its own system prompt, tool restrictions, and model assignment. You talk to Claude Code naturally; it activates the right agent automatically.

| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
| **Architect** | Vault setup, onboarding, folder structure |
| **Scribe** | Captures messy text into clean structured notes |
| **Sorter** | Nightly inbox triage — routes notes to correct folders |
| **Seeker** | Search and synthesis across your entire vault |
| **Connector** | Discovers hidden links between notes |
| **Librarian** | Weekly health checks, dedup, broken link repair |
| **Transcriber** | Turns recordings/transcripts into structured meeting notes |
| **Postman** | Bridges Gmail + Google Calendar with your vault |
| **Food Coach** | Meal ideas, grocery lists, wellness motivation (opt-in) |
| **Wellness Guide** | Active listening, grounding techniques, stress support (opt-in) |

Agents communicate via a shared `Meta/agent-messages.md` message board inside your vault.

## Prerequisites

- [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) with Pro, Max, or Team subscription
- [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) (free)
- `git` and `bash` available in your terminal

---

## Installation

### 1. Create or open your Obsidian vault

```bash
# Create a new vault directory (or use an existing one)
mkdir ~/my-vault
```

Open Obsidian → Create New Vault → point it at `~/my-vault`.

### 2. Clone the repo inside your vault

```bash
cd ~/my-vault
git clone https://github.com/gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew.git
```

### 3. Run the installer

```bash
cd My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
bash scripts/launchme.sh
```

The installer:
- Asks 2–3 questions (language preference, which agents to enable)
- Copies agents into `../.claude/agents/` (for Claude Code CLI)
- Copies skills into `../.claude/skills/` (for Claude Code Desktop / Cowork)
- Both formats installed automatically — no choice needed

### 4. Initialize your vault

Open Claude Code **inside your vault folder** (not inside the repo subfolder):

```bash
cd ~/my-vault
claude  # or open Claude Code Desktop pointed at this folder
```

Then say:

```
Initialize my vault
```

The Architect runs a friendly onboarding conversation covering:
1. Your name, language, role
2. Which agents to activate
3. Health agents setup (opt-in)
4. Gmail / Google Calendar integrations

## Vault Structure

The Crew creates a hybrid PARA + Zettelkasten layout:

```
your-vault/
├── 00-Inbox/          # Capture zone — everything lands here first
├── 01-Projects/       # Active projects with deadlines
├── 02-Areas/          # Ongoing responsibilities (including Health/)
├── 03-Resources/      # Reference material, guides
├── 04-Archive/        # Completed or historical content
├── 05-People/         # Personal CRM
├── 06-Meetings/       # Timestamped meeting notes
├── 07-Daily/          # Daily notes and journals
├── MOC/               # Maps of Content — thematic indexes
├── Templates/         # Obsidian note templates
├── Meta/

```

## Agent Communication Pattern

Agents leave messages for each other on the shared board at `Meta/agent-messages.md`:

```markdown
<!-- Example entries in Meta/agent-messages.md -->

## Pending Messages

### FROM: Transcriber → TO: Sorter
**Date**: 2026-03-21
**Subject**: New meeting note needs filing
**File**: 06-Meetings/2026-03-21-research-sync.md
**Action**: Route to 01-Projects/Thesis/ and extract tasks to inbox

---

### FROM: Food Coach → TO: Wellness Guide
**Date**: 2026-03-21
**Subject**: Stress-eating pattern detected
**Context**: User mentioned eating poorly due to deadline stress 3x this week
**Action**: Check in on stress levels next session
```

When an agent runs, it checks this board and acts on messages addressed to it.

## Configuration Files

### User Profile (generated by Architect during onboarding)

```markdown
<!-- Meta/user-profile.md -->
# User Profile

## Identity
- Name: Alex
- Language: English

- [x] Seeker
- [x] Connector
- [x] Librarian

### Agent Directory Structure

```bash
.claude/
├── agents/
│   ├── architect.md
│   ├── scribe.md
│   ├── sorter.md
│   ├── seeker.md
│   ├── connector.md
│   ├── librarian.md
│   ├── transcriber.md
│   ├── postman.md
│   ├── food-coach.md
│   └── wellness-guide.md
└── skills/
    ├── architect.md

    └── ...
```

## Reinstalling or Updating

```bash
cd ~/my-vault/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew

# Pull latest changes
git pull origin main

# Re-run installer (safe to run multiple times)
bash scripts/launchme.sh
```

The installer is idempotent — re-running updates agent files without wiping your vault content.

---

## Enabling / Disabling Opt-In Agents

To enable the Food Coach or Wellness Guide after onboarding:

```
"Enable the Food Coach agent"
"Activate the Wellness Guide"
"Disable the Food Coach"
```

The Architect will update `Meta/user-profile.md` and confirm.

To manually edit, open `Meta/user-profile.md` and change the checkbox:

```markdown
- [x] Food Coach (opt-in)    ← enabled
- [ ] Wellness Guide (opt-in) ← disabled
```

---

## Multilingual Support

The Crew responds in whatever language you use. Switch mid-conversation:

```
"Salva questo: riunione con Marco sul budget Q3"
"Cherche tout ce que j'ai écrit sur la mémoire de travail"
"作業記憶に関するメモを全部見せて"
```

Agents match your language automatically. No configuration needed.

---

## Troubleshooting

### Agents not activating

```bash
# Confirm you're running Claude Code from inside your vault (not the repo subfolder)
cd ~/my-vault
claude

# Confirm agents are installed
ls .claude/agents/
ls .claude/skills/
```

### Re-run onboarding

```
"Re-run vault initialization"
"Reset my user profile"
```

### Vault structure missing

```
"Rebuild vault folder structure"
"Create missing vault folders"
```

### Agent messages not being processed

Check `Meta/agent-messages.md` exists. If missing:

```
"Initialize the agent message board"
```

### Gmail / Calendar integration issues

The Postman agent uses Claude Code's built-in tool access. Ensure Claude Code has browser/OAuth permissions granted for your Google account during onboarding. Re-trigger with:

```
"Reconnect Gmail integration"
"Re-authenticate Google Calendar"
```

## Important Disclaimers

- **Health agents are not medical professionals.** Food Coach and Wellness Guide produce AI-generated output — not medical advice, not therapy. Always consult real professionals. Both are opt-in.
- **No warranty.** Back up your vault before use. Provided "as is."
- **Personal use only.** You are responsible for GDPR/CCPA compliance if processing third-party data (e.g., emails containing others' personal information).
- By using the software you agree to the [Terms of Use](https://github.com/gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew/blob/main/TERMS_OF_USE.md). The Architect will ask you to accept during onboarding.
