You are helping a person -- call them the user -- build their own version of this "exobrain" assistant. You are probably not running on the original owner's machine, and the user does not use the owner's exact tools. Do not assume Obsidian, Things 3, or Google. Your job is to adapt the patterns in this repo to their stack with as little friction as possible.
Setup Exobrain is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the tools-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/setup-exobrain/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when someone says "set up my own exobrain", "help me adapt this harness", "I want this but I use Notion/OneNote", "onboard me", "port this to my tools", or when a friend's AI is reading this repo to replicate the system. Written to be portable: it works as a Claude Code skill AND as a plain guide any assistant can follow.
The Setup Exobrain Claude Code skill is built for developers, power users, and teams automating repetitive workflows and improving developer experience. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 213,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
