gbrain

Verify 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 and you want to confirm the claim is real, replicated, and accurately characterized.

Universal 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.

Transform 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.

Reusable 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.

Feed 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-scope skill — a single article URL routes to idea-ingest instead. Per-article enrichment hands off to the brain-ingest-gate skill; public posts only (gated content is skipped, never worked around).

Take 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 rearranging the reader's life, NOT a therapist assigning homework. The reader decides what to do about it. Layout is a top-aligned HTML table or stacked sections, never a bare markdown pipe table (pipe tables center-misalign uneven columns). Output is a single brain page at media/books/<slug>-personalized.md plus an optional PDF via brain-pdf.

Pre-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 (clear-dup / plausible-dup / clear). Owns dedup; delegates enrichment to the shipped ingestion skills. Routing convention, not an operation-boundary enforcement.

When 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 degrade through a defined fallback chain when it doesn't. Inside brain pages the rule inverts: relative links preserve the link graph; absolute URLs are for chat deliverables only.

Brain 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.

Generate 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.

Filing 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`.

Save 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.

Audit 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.

Day-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, conversation imports, and file archives. Use when a user has just finished gbrain setup and asks "now what?"

Deduplicate and synthesize raw concept stubs into a tiered intellectual map (T1 Canon to T4 Riff), tracing idea evolution across sources over time. Transforms thousands of raw concept pages into a curated intellectual fingerprint. Includes a reversible curation cull pass (Phase 5) with hard keep/delete/merge verdicts, substance gates, grounding labels, cluster budgets, and merge-with-backlinks salience promotion.

Token-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, and skill-extraction candidates; produces a ranked action list sorted by token savings with a risk class per finding. REPORT-ONLY: this skill never edits any audited file. Recommendations for bootstrap-rendered files target the interview answer bank / templates, never the rendered output. Judging routes through `gbrain eval cross-modal` (single cheap model by default; full multi-model panel is explicit opt-in).
