What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent to take material you give it (a meeting, an article, a video transcript, a message) and file it into a structured personal knowledge store called a 'brain'. The agent identifies people, companies and concepts, creates or updates a page for each notable one, adds dated timeline entries, links related pages together, and tags each fact with a source citation. It also acts as a router that hands specialised work to other ingestion skills.

Great for

  • Developers building or maintaining a gbrain knowledge base who want consistent, cited notes
  • People who regularly process meetings or reading and want entity pages updated automatically
  • Teams experimenting with agent-maintained wikis that need provenance for every fact

Skip it if

  • Anyone who wants a quick one-off summary with no files written: this skill writes pages and links into a store by design
  • Sensitive or confidential material if the brain syncs to a remote service, since content and entity details are stored and may be pushed via gbrain sync
  • Users who have not set up gbrain: the skill depends on its commands and folder conventions, so it will not work standalone

Try asking

  • “Ingest this meeting transcript and update the people and companies involved”
  • “Save this to brain: the article at the URL I just shared, with key arguments and sources”
  • “Process this meeting notes file and add timeline entries for each decision”
  • “Ingest this podcast transcript and file the ideas under concepts”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Read the referenced filing-rules file first and confirm the folder layout matches your brain before a big ingest
  • Leave automatic capture off unless you deliberately want every message scanned and stored; the skill says it is off by default
  • Review new entity pages after ingestion, since the notability gate is applied by the agent and may need your judgement
