setup

Initialize or refresh the durable context for this second-brain repository.

Setup

Use this skill for a first-time install or when the user wants to refresh the core profile.

Read SYSTEM.md first. Then inspect workspace/identity.md, workspace/objectives.md, workspace/style.md, and workspace/sources.md.

Interview

Ask only for missing or stale information. Ask one prompt at a time. Cover these six areas:

  1. Role and scope — Who is this for, what work do they do, and who do they serve?
  2. Near-term outcomes — What 2–4 results matter over roughly the next 8–12 weeks?
  3. Authoritative systems — Where do current files, communications, meetings, tasks, customer data, and financial or operational truth live?
  4. Repeated work — Which recurring tasks, reports, decisions, or handoffs consume meaningful time?
  5. Collaboration preferences — How concise, proactive, formal, or structured should the assistant be? Real writing examples are optional.
  6. Boundaries — What information should not be stored, and what actions require explicit approval?

Do not invent answers. Reuse facts already present in the repository.

Write phase

After the interview, update only the relevant files:

  • workspace/identity.md
  • workspace/objectives.md
  • workspace/style.md
  • workspace/sources.md

Preserve unrelated content.

If the user identified an important recurring pain point, mention that improve can turn it into a small workflow later. Do not build extra workflows during setup unless explicitly asked.

Finish

Return:

  • which files were updated,
  • the user's current 2–4 outcomes,
  • any source routes that are documented but not yet verified,
  • one useful first question the user can ask the system based on the saved context.
