Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00116 | $0.04501 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00058 | $0.02250 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00900 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00450 |
Grade A, and why
second-brain-mapping scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/second-brain-mapping
{SKILL_DIR}= this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). Shared starter files live at the repo root two levels up:{SKILL_DIR}/../... If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
Your vault is a database. This skill makes it queryable.
What it does
| Phase | Tool | LLM cost | Always runs? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | vault-metadata-extract.py (dispatcher → type-specific extractors) |
0 tokens | Yes |
| 2 | /graphify (optional) |
~100k–1M tokens | No — asks first |
| 2b | graphify_report_sanitize.py --check — keeps the graph report from flooding the vault's graph view |
0 tokens | Yes, whenever a report exists |
| 3 | Wikilink gaps + interactive apply | ~5k tokens | If graph exists |
| 4 | vault-insight-engine.py — cross-type surprise finder |
0 tokens | Yes |
Phases 1, 2b and 4 are free. Phase 2 is expensive and opt-in. Phase 3 needs interactive approval so it skips gracefully in non-TTY contexts. 2b runs even when 2 is skipped — a report left by an earlier run is the thing it protects against.
Setup
Run once after cloning ai-brain-starter:
/setup-vault-types
Interactive wizard asks which doc types you have (journal, book, article, meeting, person, project, podcast, client, etc.) and installs the matching extractors. You can add custom types later by editing scripts/extractors/schemas.yaml or running /setup-vault-types --add <name>.
Usage
/second-brain-mapping # full pipeline
/second-brain-mapping --metadata-only # skip graphify + wikilinks, keep insights
/second-brain-mapping --insights-only # only run Phase 4 on existing metadata
/second-brain-mapping --type book # only process files with `type: book`
/second-brain-mapping --dry-run # preview without writes
/second-brain-mapping --sample # preview 1 file per configured type (cold-start safe)
/second-brain-mapping --sample 3 # preview 3 files per configured type
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

second-brain-mapping is a skill published in the GitHub repository mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter (36 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 116 tokens to every session and 4,501 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
claudeai-sync
Pull new and changed claude.ai web conversations into an Obsidian vault, extract artifacts as first-class notes, concept-link them, and refresh the RAG index and dashboard. Idempotent: curated notes are never overwritten. Triggers: "/claudeai-sync", "pull claude.ai", "grab new claude.ai chats".
resume-last
Collect the last human session, or a specific one by id, into a seed on the clipboard, so a new session continues where the old one broke off, including after a crash or on a machine where native resume does not work. Triggers: "/resume-last", "/resume", "continue the last session".
chatgpt-sync
Pull fresh ChatGPT conversations into an Obsidian vault on demand, the manual twin of the nightly job. Incremental and idempotent by conversation id: never clobbers enriched notes, never duplicates. Triggers: "/chatgpt-sync", "pull chatgpt", "sync chatgpt chats".
sessme
A command that lists recent multi-turn coding sessions and lets you choose one to restore in full.
obsidian-setup-consultant
Use this skill whenever the user wants to install, configure, migrate, design, or connect Obsidian as a second brain, knowledge base, cloud-synced vault, or AI/Hermes-readable memory. It is especially important when the user asks for an Obsidian setup prompt, vault architecture, folder structure, plugin…
memorb-born
Phase 0 Vault Initialization Skill: setup user identity, AI advisor persona, communication preferences, and core vault structure into CLAUDE.md. Triggered when vault setup is missing, user requests re-initialization, or running /memorb-born.
