Operating skill for McBrain — the user's personal LLM-maintained knowledge base. Use this skill any time the user wants to ingest a source into McBrain, query McBrain, lint McBrain, file a synthesis page, or otherwise work with their personal knowledge base. Triggers on phrases like "ingest this", "ingest into mcbrain", "save to mcbrain", "add to mcbrain", "query mcbrain", "lint mcbrain", "what does mcbrain say about X", "ask my brain", "file this in mcbrain", "find insights from McBrain [name]", or any reference to the user's wiki, second brain, or knowledge base.
