How does Brain interact with my Obsidian vault?

Brain acts as a router; it doesn't modify files directly. Instead, it analyzes your request and delegates the actual file operations to specialized skills like 'clip', 'triage', or 'create-project'.

What is the PARA method used by this skill?

PARA stands for Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. It is a system for organizing digital information based on actionability, popularized by Tiago Forte's 'Building a Second Brain'.

Can I use this for professional software engineering?

Yes, Brain includes a specific 'Engineering Mode' that detects technical contexts and provides 'Tech Lead' style advice on architecture, PR reviews, and blockers.

How does the 'preflight' check work?

When invoked, Brain spawns a lightweight sub-agent to gather vault context (like inbox count and project status) instantly, allowing the main model to focus on reasoning and coaching.

What makes this skill ADHD-friendly?

It uses a 'one-nudge' philosophy, providing concise, actionable feedback rather than overwhelming walls of text, and includes features to help prioritize tasks during periods of overwhelm.

生産性とワークフロー

Orchestrates your PARA-based knowledge management system by routing natural language requests to specialized productivity skills.

Brain acts as the central intelligence for your Obsidian-based PARA system within Claude Code. It serves as a thinking partner that translates plain-language requests—like 'process my inbox' or 'show me my projects'—into actionable commands for specialized sub-skills. Designed with an ADHD-aware philosophy, it provides contextual coaching, monitors vault health through automated preflight checks, and adapts its guidance between technical 'Tech Lead' mode and creative 'Tiago-style' coaching to ensure you spend more time shipping and less time filing.
