second-brain-review

Produce a periodic review of a second-brain vault: what was added, which topics are growing, what contradicts what, which questions are still open, and what is worth reading next. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a weekly or monthly review, asks what changed in their vault, what they have been learning about lately, or what they should look at next, and when a scheduled review task fires. Do NOT use for structural linting, for ingesting sources, or for answering a specific factual question.

Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

Review the vault

Capture systems fail at the point where nothing comes back out. A review is the loop that closes: it turns a week of ingestion into something the owner reads and acts on, and it is what makes the vault feel alive rather than archival.

Core rule

A review reports on the vault, not on the agent's activity. Nobody needs to know how many tool calls ran; they need to know what they now know.

Workflow

  1. Diff the period. New and updated pages since the last review, from log.md and frontmatter dates.
  2. Find the clusters. Which concepts gained the most links. That is where the owner's attention actually went, which is often not where they think it went.
  3. Surface contradictions recorded during the period and still unresolved.
  4. List open questions from concept and synthesis pages.
  5. Find the neglected. Pages linked often but thin, or gaps in index.md that keep getting referenced.
  6. Recommend three things to read or write next, each tied to a specific page.

Output format

## Week of <date>

Added: <n> pages, <n> sources ingested

### Where your attention went
<two or three sentences on the clusters>

### Unresolved
<contradictions and open questions, each linked>

### Thin spots
<pages that are referenced more than they deserve given their content>

### Next
1. <specific action tied to a page>
2.
3.

Calibration

Reviews that list everything get skimmed and then ignored. Keep it under a page. Three recommendations, not ten. If a week produced nothing worth reporting, say that in one line instead of manufacturing insight.

Audit an agent's context layout against the four places: system prompt, tools, history, tail. Use when the user asks to audit, review or fix their agent's context, prompt caching, token spend per turn, or CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md layout. Read-only: reports findings and a fix list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for writing evals (evals-bootstrap) or for loop design (goal-test).

Scaffold a first eval suite for an agent: mine real failures into cases, write behavioural checks over traces, and generate the runner. Use when the user wants evals, regression tests for an agent, a golden set, or asks how to know a prompt/model change did not break things. Do NOT use for a single task's done-check (goal-test) or for auditing context (context-audit).

undefined-ui/second-brain-os1.1KUpdated Oct 14, 2026

Find the decisions in a pipeline that do not need the expensive model and propose the gate for each: a rule, a classic classifier, or a small model, with fail-closed routing. Use when the user asks to cut model costs or latency, says the big model handles everything, or wants a triage / routing / filter layer in front of an agent. Analysis plus an optional baseline scaffold. Do NOT use for auditing context layout (context-audit) or for building eval suites (evals-bootstrap).

Turn a vague task into a testable definition of done and generate an executable goal-test script for it, optionally with a bounded retry loop around a headless agent. Use when the user wants to run an agent in a loop, asks how to know when an agent task is finished, or says a goal like "improve X" needs to become checkable. Do NOT use for building eval suites over many cases — that is evals-bootstrap.

undefined-ui/second-brain-os1.1KUpdated Oct 14, 2026

Audit an agent's harness against the four rings: containment, guides, sensors, permissions. Use when the user asks whether their agent setup is safe, wants a review of sandboxing / permissions / hooks / AGENTS.md guardrails, or asks what a bad session could break. Read-only: reports the blast radius and a hardening list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for context layout (context-audit) or cost routing (gate-check).

Import a large archive into the vault in controlled batches: triage what is worth ingesting, process oldest first, checkpoint after every batch, and keep cost visible. Use this skill whenever the user wants to import years of bookmarks, an export from another notes app, a downloads folder, a chat history dump, or says "backfill", "bulk import", "process my archive". Do NOT use for ingesting one or a few new sources, which is second-brain-ingest.
