Skills

Beyond the auto-loaded _discipline skill, three commands are user-invokable:

`/matts-second-brain:install`

Setup wizard. Walks through:

Backend selection (Trilium / Obsidian / Notion)
Credential collection (hidden input — never echoed)
Trilium install (offers Docker if not already running)
ETAPI token generation guidance
MCP registration in ~/.claude.json
Taxonomy seeding (calls brain_seed_taxonomy)
Optional transcript scan (brain_scan_transcripts)
Verification

Idempotent — safe to re-run after partial setups.

/matts-second-brain:install [--multi-user] [--scan-transcripts] [--trilium-url URL]

`/matts-second-brain:recall`

Manual brain query. Use when you want Claude to consciously consult the brain before acting.

/matts-second-brain:recall <query>

Output format:

Brain matches for "git workflow" (5 results):
  • Standards / Git Workflow (2026-04-25, cited 12 times)
      "All PRs target develop. Main updated only via release PRs from develop."
  • Lessons Learned / 2026-04-23 — Force-push to develop
      "Force-push to develop blocked by hook because…"
  ...

Cite which? (numbers / 'all' / 'none')

`/matts-second-brain:remember`

Manual brain write. Use after a notable event you want preserved.

/matts-second-brain:remember <category> [<title>]

Categories:

standards — durable rule
decisions — dated decision with rationale
lessons — postmortem (cause + fix + evidence)
apps/<name> — per-app gotcha
reviews — feedback to internalise

For decisions and lessons, Claude prompts for the what / why / evidence triple before writing — refuses to write a note without all three.
