gbrainSearch and write the company knowledge brain. Use for any question about the org, people, projects, decisions, or history, and to persist durable knowledge beyond this scope's notebook.
academic-verifyVerify a research claim or academic citation by tracing it through publication → methodology → raw data → independent replication. Routes through perplexity-research for the actual web lookup, then formats results as a citation-checked brain page. Use when a book/article/conversation cites a study a
archive-crawlerUniversal archivist for personal file archives (Dropbox/B2/Gmail-takeout/local-mount/hard-drive-dump). Filters for high-value content (the user's own writing, ideas, relationships) and surfaces it interactively. REFUSES TO RUN without an explicit gbrain.yml `archive-crawler.scan_paths:` allow-list.
article-enrichmentTransform raw article text dumps in the brain into structured pages with executive summary, verbatim quotes, key insights, why-it-matters, and cross-references. Replaces walls-of-text with quotable, actionable brain pages.
ask-userReusable pattern for presenting the user with explicit choices and gating execution until they respond. Used by other skills when a decision point requires human input before proceeding. Platform-agnostic — works on Telegram (inline buttons), Discord, CLI, or any agent with a message tool. - "presen
blog-ingestFeed and whole-publication ingestion: turn an entire blog, newsletter, or RSS/Atom archive into brain source pages. Covers feed discovery, pagination walking, normalization to a common article shape, canonical-URL dedup, idempotent re-runs, 429 pacing, and empty-husk repair. This is the PUBLICATION-
book-mirrorTake any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearra
brain-ingest-gatePre-write quality gate for content entering the brain. No raw copies: a bare cp/mv into the brain repo is a bug. Before any new page lands, resolve named entities registry-first (a vector score is a floor for prose, never a gate for named things), then run the read-the-top-hit dedup decision tree (c
brain-link-disciplineWhen you report a brain page to the user — created, edited, committed, or relayed from a subagent — a working link is part of the deliverable, in the SAME message. Derive the path mechanically (git ls-files --full-name), push BEFORE linking, verify the link resolves when a hosted remote exists, and
brain-opsBrain knowledge base operations. The core read/write cycle: brain-first lookup, read-enrich-write loop, source attribution, ambient enrichment, back-linking. Read this before any brain interaction. - any brain read/write/lookup/citation - recall - search - query - get_page - put_page - add_link - ad
brain-pdfGenerate a publication-quality PDF from any brain page via the gstack make-pdf binary. Strips YAML frontmatter, sanitizes emoji, applies running headers and page numbers. Brain page is always the source of truth; PDF is a rendering.
brain-taxonomistFiling gate for ALL brain writes. Consulted before creating any new brain page to determine the correct path. Reads the ACTIVE schema pack via `gbrain schema show --json` — no hardcoded directory table. Also runs periodic taxonomy drift detection via `gbrain schema review-orphans`. - "where does thi

bulk-ingestionEnd-to-end discipline for turning any large data source (audio libraries, email takeouts, document corpora, chat exports, API dumps) into brain pages at scale. The lifecycle spine: SCHEMA → ACCESS → TRIAL → EVALUATE → IMPROVE → CODIFY → TEST → SKILLIFY → BULK → MONITOR. State is tracked in a durable
captureSave any thought or content into the brain via one CLI command. The single human-facing entrypoint that replaces "put_page vs commit-then-sync vs autopilot-wait" with one command that just works.
chat-connectorsConnect a ChatGPT or Claude account and sync its conversation history into the brain automatically. Cookie paste-in is the primary lane; sync is incremental (watermark + trailing-window gap-heal), and can run on a schedule via autopilot or host cron. Distinct from the export-file lane (that lives in
citation-fixerAudit and fix citation formatting across brain pages. Ensures every fact has an inline [Source: ...] citation matching the standard format. Extended in v0.25.1: scans for broken tweet/post references that lack actual URLs and resolves them via the host's X / Twitter API integration. - "fix citations
citation-graph-ingestBuild a TYPED citation/reference graph over an ingested corpus — not just embeddings. Flat similarity retrieval cannot tell you that document A *overrules* B, *distinguishes* C, or *relies_on* D. This skill extracts every inter-document reference, classifies the edge TYPE with LLM judgment, and writ
cold-startDay-one data bootstrapping for a new brain. Sequences the highest-leverage data sources to go from empty brain to useful brain in one session. Uses ClawVisor for safe credential handling — the agent never holds raw API keys. Covers Gmail import, calendar sync, contacts seeding, X/Twitter archive, co
company-brainifyExtract a sanitized shared team/company brain from a personal brain. Strips internal ratings, compensation, performance assessments, retention and political dynamics from pages, takes, and facts across the full scan scope (people, companies, meetings, dailies, cross-references — not just people/), v

Transforms thousands of raw concept pages into a curated intellectual fingerprint. Includes a reversible curation cull pass (Phase 5) with hard keep/del
context-auditToken-hygiene audit of the always-loaded context stack — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, auto-memory MEMORY.md, and the bootstrap-rendered identity files (SOUL.md, USER.md, ACCESS_POLICY.md, HEARTBEAT.md) or their harness equivalents. Finds redundancy, contradictions, stale content, compression candidates, an
conversation-archiveImport AI-assistant chat exports (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) and agent session transcripts into the brain as one dated page per conversation under conversations/, validate each page against the native conversation parser, extract facts via the native conversation-facts flow, and keep the archive g
correction-pipelineWhen the user corrects a factual error, root-cause it immediately. Don't just note the correction — trace the error to its source, fix the source, and prevent recurrence. Every factual error is either a data error (bad brain page, bad memory file, bad rendered SOUL/USER identity, bad facts row) or a
cron-schedulerSchedule management with staggering, quiet hours, and wake-up override. Validates schedules, prevents collisions, and gates delivery during quiet hours. - "schedule a job" - "cron" - "quiet hours" - "what jobs are running" - search - get_page - put_page
cross-modal-reviewQuality gate via second model. Spawn a different AI model to review work before committing. Includes refusal routing: if one model refuses, switch silently to the next. Extended in v0.25.1 with structured review-mode gating (when to invoke vs not) and a Codex code-review handoff for the diff-review
daily-task-managerTask lifecycle management with stable task IDs. Add, complete, defer, remove, and review tasks with deterministic action routing and fail-closed ambiguity handling. Maintains a running task list as a brain page. - "add task" - "complete task" - "what are my tasks" - "task list" - "defer task" - sear

data-loss-gateConfirmation gate before any bulk delete, cleanup, or destructive operation that could result in data loss — shell-level (rm -rf, git rm, bulk sed) or brain-level (bulk forget, delete sweeps, purge-deleted, source removal, raw-SQL truncation). Presents a recoverability card and requires an explicit
data-researchStructured data research: search sources, extract structured data, archive raw sources, maintain canonical tracker pages, deduplicate. Parameterized via YAML recipes for investor updates, donations, company updates, or any email-to-structured-data pipeline. - "research" - "track" - "extract from ema
db-repairAuto-fix gbrain's Postgres access so the brain stays available. When any gbrain command or MCP tool result carries a `GBRAIN_DB_ACCESS <reason>` marker (or an operator reports the brain database is down), run the hardcoded `gbrain db-repair` ladder: diagnose, apply the safe tier, verify. The action
draft-in-voiceGhostwrite content in a specific person's voice from a VALIDATED voice profile — tweets, replies, short posts, launch copy, recruiting blurbs, emails. Loads the subject's voice profile (people/<slug>-voice) plus first-party context from the brain, drafts 2-3 options in-register, then runs a hard voi
eiirpEverything In Its Right Place. The universal post-work organizer. After any significant work session, EIIRP runs a 7-phase audit: (1) inventory every output, (2) walk taxonomy to decide where each lands, (3) check schema-pack consistency against the brain's actual shape, (4) file enriched brain page
enrichEnrich brain pages with tiered enrichment protocol. Creates and updates person/company pages with compiled truth, timeline, and cross-links.

frontmatter-guardValidate and auto-repair YAML frontmatter on brain pages. Catches malformed pages before they enter the brain (missing closing ---, nested quotes, slug mismatches, null bytes, empty frontmatter, YAML parse failures), explains files sync holds instead of importing, and drives the previewed `gbrain re
functional-area-resolverCompress an agent's routing file (RESOLVER.md or AGENTS.md) by converting granular skill-per-row tables into functional-area dispatchers. Each area lists sub-skills in a "(dispatcher for: ...)" clause. The LLM reads one area entry and routes to the correct sub-skill. Proven via held-out A/B eval: di
gbrain-advisorProactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Runs `gbrain advisor` on a cadence and pings the user with the top high-leverage actions for their brain: version drift, pending migrations, stalled jobs, low embed coverage, setup smells, and uninstalled brain skills. Read-only; always asks before fixin
gbrain-upgradeKeep gbrain current. When a `gbrain` invocation prints an `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>` marker (or `gbrain self-upgrade --check-only` reports an update), apply it per the configured self_upgrade.mode: notify (prompt the operator with a 4-option question + snooze) or auto (apply silently). The acti
google-loopsSet up and operate the Gmail/Calendar/Contacts connector and the open-loop engine: who is waiting on the user, what they promised, and the context needed to respond.

idea-ingestIngest links, articles, tweets, and ideas into the brain. Fetch content, save to brain with analysis, credit the author (people page only when they pass the notability gate), and cross-link. Use when the user shares a link or says "read this", "save this", "think about this". - shares a link or URL
idea-lineageTrace one idea's evolution through the brain: first mention, best articulation, related concepts, reversals, contradictions, abandoned branches, and the current live version. Use for single-idea conceptual lineage, not broad concept-map synthesis or structured entity metrics. - "idea lineage" - "tra

research-compendiumDeep-research a topic end to end and produce a permanent, reusable knowledge asset: archive every primary source verbatim (gated by the user's privacy/retention posture), write one 1:1 summary per source, then synthesize a single self-contained compendium page. Depth is a dial (base synthesis → grou
resolve-before-askingGate on identity questions to the user. Before any "who is X?" (or role / relationship question) reaches the user, exhaust the brain's lookup chain: think → search + page read → mounted sources → timeline/graph → web. If escalation survives the chain, ask WITH a hypothesis, never a bare unknown. Als
schema-authorEvolve your brain's schema pack. Add page types, propose new ones from corpus scans, backfill page.type on existing pages, audit pack health. Triggers when an agent notices untyped pages, custom domains needing typed entities (researcher, contract, deposition), or wants to see what types the pack de
schema-unifyMigrate a brain from gbrain-base (or any pack) to gbrain-base-v2's 14-canonical-type taxonomy via gbrain onboard --check + the unify-types Minion handler.

skillpack-checkRun `gbrain skillpack-check` to produce an agent-readable JSON health report for the gbrain install. Wraps `gbrain doctor` + `gbrain apply-migrations --list` so a host agent (your OpenClaw's morning-briefing, any OpenClaw cron) can see at a glance whether the skillpack needs attention. Use when the
smoke-testHealth smoke tests + auto-fix for gbrain installs (and OpenClaw services when present). Run after machine/container restarts or whenever something seems broken. Tests critical services, auto-fixes bounded local issues, and reports worker topology without starting daemons. Extensible via user-defined
soul-auditRe-run or deepen the agent's identity interview. Drives the SHARED bootstrap answer bank (state/interview.json) via `gbrain bootstrap interview --set/--show/--confirm`, then re-renders the identity files with `gbrain bootstrap render --only <FILE> --force`. One answer store, two surfaces: first-boot
strategic-readingRead a book, article, transcript, or case study through the lens of a specific strategic problem you're facing. Produces an applied playbook that maps the source onto the problem and gives short/medium/long-term recommendations. NOT for general book summaries.
two-tier-extractionTiered LLM extraction pattern for large corpus processing (email archives, document dumps, transcript libraries). A utility-tier model triages and classifies at speed; the reasoning tier does the default deep read; the deep tier is the escalation for the highest-value content. Prevents spending deep
voice-note-ingestIngest a voice note with exact-phrasing preservation (never paraphrased). Routes content to originals/, concepts/, people/, companies/, ideas/, personal/, or voice-notes/ based on a decision tree. The user's exact words are the signal.
webhook-transformsGeneric framework for converting external events (SMS, meetings, social mentions) into brain-ingestible signals. Define a transform function, register a webhook URL, and incoming events get processed through the brain pipeline. - "set up webhook" - "process webhook event" - "transform this event" -
voice-persona-marsRoute to Mars (introspective thought partner / demo showman voice persona). Used when the operator wants depth, meaning, or impressive social demos rather than logistics. Mars handles SOLO mode (philosophy, presence, patterns) and DEMO mode (tool-driven showmanship) automatically.
voice-persona-venusRoute to Venus (sharp executive-assistant voice persona). Used for logistics — calendar, tasks, recent messages, brain lookups — at sub-second phone-call latency. The default voice persona unless DEFAULT_PERSONA=mars is set.
voice-post-callPost-call handling for a voice session — turn the transcript into a brain page, post the summary to the operator's messaging surface, archive the audio. The pipeline is the contract; the firing paths are operator-wired (see "Two firing paths" below for what ships today).
retrieval-reflexWhen/what to retrieve — open the brain page for a salient entity before answering from memory.
