My Brain Is Full — Crew

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection

A crew of 10 AI agents embedded in your Obsidian vault that manage knowledge, nutrition, and mental wellness through natural conversation with Claude Code. Built by a PhD researcher for people who are drowning — not just optimizing.

---

What It Does

The Crew installs 10 specialized agents into your vault's .claude/ directory. Each agent has its own system prompt, tool restrictions, and model assignment. You talk to Claude Code naturally; it activates the right agent automatically.

Agent	Role
Architect	Vault setup, onboarding, folder structure
Scribe	Captures messy text into clean structured notes
Sorter	Nightly inbox triage — routes notes to correct folders
Seeker	Search and synthesis across your entire vault
Connector	Discovers hidden links between notes
Librarian	Weekly health checks, dedup, broken link repair
Transcriber	Turns recordings/transcripts into structured meeting notes
Postman	Bridges Gmail + Google Calendar with your vault
Food Coach	Meal ideas, grocery lists, wellness motivation (opt-in)
Wellness Guide	Active listening, grounding techniques, stress support (opt-in)

Agents communicate via a shared Meta/agent-messages.md message board inside your vault.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code with Pro, Max, or Team subscription
• Obsidian (free)
• git and bash available in your terminal

---

Installation

1. Create or open your Obsidian vault

# Create a new vault directory (or use an existing one)
mkdir ~/my-vault

Open Obsidian → Create New Vault → point it at ~/my-vault.

2. Clone the repo inside your vault

cd ~/my-vault
git clone https://github.com/gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew.git

3. Run the installer

cd My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
bash scripts/launchme.sh

The installer:

• Asks 2–3 questions (language preference, which agents to enable)
• Copies agents into ../.claude/agents/ (for Claude Code CLI)
• Copies skills into ../.claude/skills/ (for Claude Code Desktop / Cowork)
• Both formats installed automatically — no choice needed

4. Initialize your vault

Open Claude Code inside your vault folder (not inside the repo subfolder):

cd ~/my-vault
claude  # or open Claude Code Desktop pointed at this folder

Then say:

Initialize my vault

The Architect runs a friendly onboarding conversation covering:

1. Your name, language, role
2. Which agents to activate
3. Health agents setup (opt-in)
4. Gmail / Google Calendar integrations

Agent Communication Pattern

Agents leave messages for each other on the shared board at Meta/agent-messages.md:

<!-- Example entries in Meta/agent-messages.md -->

## Pending Messages

### FROM: Transcriber → TO: Sorter
**Date**: 2026-03-21
**Subject**: New meeting note needs filing
**File**: 06-Meetings/2026-03-21-research-sync.md
**Action**: Route to 01-Projects/Thesis/ and extract tasks to inbox

---

### FROM: Food Coach → TO: Wellness Guide
**Date**: 2026-03-21
**Subject**: Stress-eating pattern detected
**Context**: User mentioned eating poorly due to deadline stress 3x this week
**Action**: Check in on stress levels next session

When an agent runs, it checks this board and acts on messages addressed to it.

Reinstalling or Updating

cd ~/my-vault/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew

# Pull latest changes
git pull origin main

# Re-run installer (safe to run multiple times)
bash scripts/launchme.sh

The installer is idempotent — re-running updates agent files without wiping your vault content.

---

Enabling / Disabling Opt-In Agents

To enable the Food Coach or Wellness Guide after onboarding:

"Enable the Food Coach agent"
"Activate the Wellness Guide"
"Disable the Food Coach"

The Architect will update Meta/user-profile.md and confirm.

To manually edit, open Meta/user-profile.md and change the checkbox:

- [x] Food Coach (opt-in)    ← enabled
- [ ] Wellness Guide (opt-in) ← disabled

---

Multilingual Support

The Crew responds in whatever language you use. Switch mid-conversation:

"Salva questo: riunione con Marco sul budget Q3"
"Cherche tout ce que j'ai écrit sur la mémoire de travail"
"作業記憶に関するメモを全部見せて"

Agents match your language automatically. No configuration needed.

---

Troubleshooting

Agents not activating

# Confirm you're running Claude Code from inside your vault (not the repo subfolder)
cd ~/my-vault
claude

# Confirm agents are installed
ls .claude/agents/
ls .claude/skills/

Re-run onboarding

"Re-run vault initialization"
"Reset my user profile"

Vault structure missing

"Rebuild vault folder structure"
"Create missing vault folders"

Agent messages not being processed

Check Meta/agent-messages.md exists. If missing:

"Initialize the agent message board"

Gmail / Calendar integration issues

The Postman agent uses Claude Code's built-in tool access. Ensure Claude Code has browser/OAuth permissions granted for your Google account during onboarding. Re-trigger with:

"Reconnect Gmail integration"
"Re-authenticate Google Calendar"

• No warranty. Back up your vault before use. Provided "as is."
• Personal use only. You are responsible for GDPR/CCPA compliance if processing third-party data (e.g., emails containing others' personal information).
• By using the software you agree to the Terms of Use. The Architect will ask you to accept during onboarding.
