SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Setting up a new Obsidian-style vault leaves you with an empty or placeholder CLAUDE.md, so Claude lacks the context to act as an effective thinking partner. This Skill scans your vault structure and interviews you to produce a fully populated, personalized context file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Automated Vault Scanning: Silently inspects top-level folders and project subfolders to auto-populate the Folder Structure section. - Structured 5-Round Interview: Conversationally captures your identity, Claude's role, communication rules, strengths and weaknesses, and goals with real numbers. - Voice-Matched Generation: Writes the CLAUDE.md in your own words, with a review loop for targeted edits before saving. - Use Case: You just copied a vault template and want Claude to understand your goals, working style, and projects. Run this Skill to produce a complete CLAUDE.md in one guided session. ## Quick Start Ask Claude to set up or initialize your vault by generating a personalized CLAUDE.md from a scan and short interview.

Frequently Asked Questions about brain-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a CLAUDE.md file for my vault?▼

Run the brain-setup skill, which scans your vault folders and interviews you in five rounds covering identity, Claude's role, rules, strengths, and goals. It then generates a complete CLAUDE.md in your own voice and saves it after your review.

What does the brain-setup interview ask about?▼

The interview covers five areas: who you are and your purpose, what you want Claude to help with, communication style and rules, strengths and weaknesses, and your current goals with concrete numbers and timelines.

Can I use brain-setup if a CLAUDE.md already exists?▼

Yes. If a CLAUDE.md with real content already exists, the skill asks whether you want to start fresh or build on what is there before proceeding with the interview.

Does brain-setup automatically detect my folder structure?▼

Yes. Before asking any questions, it scans top-level folders and project subfolders under 03 Projects, then auto-populates the Folder Structure section of the generated CLAUDE.md without asking you to describe them.

What happens if my answers during setup are vague?▼

The skill writes thin sections rather than fabricating content, and never pads with assumptions. If your goals or plan are vague, it suggests running a Chess Moves strategic thinking session afterward to flesh them out.
