# Digital Brain

A structured personal operating system for managing digital presence, knowledge, relationships, and goals with AI assistance. Designed for founders building in public, content creators growing their audience, and tech-savvy professionals seeking AI-assisted personal management.

**Important**: This skill uses progressive disclosure. Module-specific instructions are in each subdirectory's `.md` file. Only load what's needed for the current task.

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when the user:

- Requests content creation (posts, threads, newsletters) - load identity/voice.md first
- Asks for help with personal brand or positioning
- Needs to look up or manage contacts/relationships
- Wants to capture or develop content ideas
- Requests meeting preparation or follow-up
- Asks for weekly reviews or goal tracking
- Needs to save or retrieve bookmarked resources
- Wants to organize research or learning materials

**Trigger phrases**: "write a post", "my voice", "content ideas", "who is [name]", "prepare for meeting", "weekly review", "save this", "my goals"

## Core Concepts

### Progressive Disclosure Architecture

The Digital Brain follows a three-level loading pattern:

| Level | When Loaded | Content |
|-------|-------------|---------|
| **L1: Metadata** | Always | This SKILL.md overview |
| **L2: Module Instructions** | On-demand | `[module]/[MODULE].md` files |
| **L3: Data Files** | As-needed | `.jsonl`, `.yaml`, `.md` data |

### File Format Strategy

Formats chosen for optimal agent parsing:

- **JSONL** (`.jsonl`): Append-only logs - ideas, posts, contacts, interactions
- **YAML** (`.yaml`): Structured configs - goals, values, circles
- **Markdown** (`.md`): Narrative content - voice, brand, calendar, todos
- **XML** (`.xml`): Complex prompts - content generation templates

### Append-Only Data Integrity

JSONL files are **append-only**. Never delete entries:
- Mark as `"status": "archived"` instead of deleting
- Preserves history for pattern analysis
- Enables "what worked" retrospectives
