Set up this second-brain vault on a new machine or for a new owner — symlink the global skills into ~/.claude/skills, set SECOND_BRAIN_DIR, and personalize CLAUDE.md. Re-run to reconfigure (e.g. point at a moved/renamed vault). Use right after cloning the boilerplate.

Onboard — set up this vault
One-time (but re-runnable) setup so the vault and its global skills work from any repo. Safe to run repeatedly; it never deletes anything.
Steps
-
Run setup (idempotent):
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/setup.py $ARGUMENTS- Vault root =
$ARGUMENTSif a path was given, else auto-detected from this skill's location. - It symlinks every skill that declares a
## Vault rootsection into~/.claude/skills, and mergesSECOND_BRAIN_DIR=<vault>into~/.claude/settings.json(preserving other settings). - Read its
VAULT=/LINKED=/SKIPPED=output. If it errors (not a vault, or invalid settings JSON), stop and surface the message.
- Vault root =
-
Personalize
<vault>/CLAUDE.mdCore Info. IfVault Owneris still<YOUR NAME>(or the user wants to change it), ask for their name and primary use case, then fill in the Core Info block. -
Pick buckets. The vault ships with only the core buckets (
sources/,tasks/). Run /configure to scaffold the optional page types the owner actually wants — pass the use case from step 2 as a blurb, or let it quiz interactively. (Skip only if the owner explicitly wants to stay core-only for now; they can run/configureanytime.) -
Sanity-check structure. Confirm
dump/(+dump/assets/) and the corewiki/buckets exist; create only what's missing. Never touch existing content. -
Report what was linked and set, and point the user to
home.mdto begin. Note: newly symlinked skills may require restarting Claude Code to register.
Reconfigure
- Moved/renamed vault: re-run
/onboardfrom its new location (auto-detected) or/onboard <new-path>— it rewritesSECOND_BRAIN_DIRand re-links. - To undo everything, use offboard.
Done when
- The global skills are symlinked,
SECOND_BRAIN_DIRpoints at this vault, Core Info is filled in, and the owner's buckets are scaffolded (or they've chosen to stay core-only).
