AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian
This repository also configures its own agents. See what cornelius tells them →
Skill Claude Code
Solve problems using knowledge base insights - extracts search terms, runs parallel KB queries, synthesizes advice grounded in your own frameworks.
Skill Claude Code
Autonomous AI crystallization - synthesizes converged thinking topics into ai-inferred notes in a dedicated folder. Never touches the human-curated permanent knowledge base and never changes a topic's status, so manual crystallization stays available to the user.
Skill Claude Code
Analyze knowledge base structure and update the knowledge-base-analysis.md report.
Skill Claude Code
Discover non-obvious cross-domain connections through random sampling and pattern analysis.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Systematic benchmarking framework for Local Brain Search memory system with LLM-as-judge scoring.
Skill Claude Code
Protocol for creating dated changelog files after significant agent sessions. Use when completing vault operations, discovery sessions, insight extraction, or any work requiring documentation.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Run a full coherence sweep across the Brain Dependency Graph - computes staleness, lifecycle transitions, structural health, and generates a report.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Compute lifecycle scores for all insight and framework notes - detect which notes are crystallizing or becoming generative.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Create long-form articles from knowledge base insights. Use when writing articles, blog posts, Substack content, or synthesizing knowledge into publishable content. Includes tone of voice, structure templates, and knowledge base integration.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Generate explanatory diagrams and infographics that visually communicate concepts. Iterates autonomously until images are logically correct, text is clean, and the concept explanation is clear. Uses Nano Banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image).
Skill Claude Code
Autonomous research pipeline - discover, extract, and integrate cutting-edge insights into knowledge base.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Detect productive contradictions between notes - high semantic similarity with opposing conclusions that represent synthesis opportunities.
Skill Claude Code
An Electric Monk engine — two subagents believe fully committed positions on the user's behalf while the orchestrator performs structural contradiction analysis and synthesis. By outsourcing belief work to agents, the user operates from a belief-free position where they can analyze the structure of the contradiction…
Skill Claude Code
Autonomous perception layer - scans KB for new notes matching domain watch configs, checks gap resonance with the Thinking Registry, probes external signals via web search, and auto-activates HIGH/MEDIUM signals into the Thinking Registry for the incubation loop.
Skill Claude Code
Advanced techniques for extracting insights, probing user thinking, and conducting cognitive interviews. Use when harvesting insights, exploring beliefs, clarifying concepts, or helping users articulate their unique perspectives.
Skill Claude Code
Framework for distinguishing research findings from hypotheses and speculative synthesis. Use when extracting insights from research, creating notes from external sources, or classifying the epistemic status of claims.
Skill Claude Code
Extract insights from external documents (research papers, books, articles). Spawns document-insight-extractor subagent. Requires session name.
Skill Claude Code
Extract unique insights and perspectives from personal content (conversations, transcripts, notes). Spawns insight-extractor subagent.
Skill Claude Code
Discover hidden connections and relationships between notes in the knowledge base.
Skill Claude Code
Extract the user's perspective on a topic (called by a content agent or user).
Skill Claude Code
Extract the transcript from a YouTube video by URL or video ID. Use when the user shares a YouTube link and wants the transcript, captions, or text content of the video. Falls back automatically if the requested language isn't available.
Skill Claude Code
Stage, commit, and push changes to remote repository with approval gate.
Skill Claude Code
Review and graduate notes to permanent status using Zettelkasten principles. Consolidates AI extractions and document insights into curated permanent notes.
Skill Claude Code needs its repo
Autonomous iterative thinking loop - processes active topics using rotating analytical moves (ACH, Bayesian updating, steelmanning, cross-domain bridging, implication checks) and persists reasoning state across scheduled runs.
At most 3 mods per repository are shown here, and a mod shipped inside a plugin is left to that plugin's page — the rest are on their repository pages:
