What problem does it solve?
Manually installing and configuring gbrain (the knowledge and memory layer for AI coding agents) requires piecing together multiple disjoint steps including CLI installation, brain backend initialization, MCP server registration, and trust policy setup. This Skill automates the entire workflow, eliminating configuration errors and reducing setup time from hours to a single command.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End-to-end automated setup: Installs the gbrain CLI, initializes a local PGLite or Supabase brain backend, registers the gbrain MCP server for agent access, and configures per-remote trust policies in one run.
- Idempotent and self-healing: Detects existing partial installations, repairs missing components, handles upgrade flows, and preserves user preferences across re-runs.
- Use case: A developer using Codex or Claude Code can run this Skill once to get gbrain fully operational, enabling semantic code search, session transcript memory, and cross-machine artifact sync for their project immediately.
Quick Start
Use the setup-gbrain skill to fully configure gbrain for your current coding agent and project with a single command.
