01skill-optimizer
2 installsSelf-evolving skill optimization via SkillOpt-paper-grounded text-space optimizer.
Buildfrom gbrain02skillpack-check
2 installsRun `gbrain skillpack-check` to produce an agent-readable JSON health report for the gbrain install. Wraps `gbrain doctor` + `gbrain apply-migrations --list` so a host agent (your OpenClaw's morning-briefing, any OpenClaw cron) can see at a glance whether the skillpack needs attention. Use when the user asks "is gbrain healthy?", when a cron fires a morning check, or proactively when something seems off (jobs not running, brain not updating, autopilot silent).
Buildfrom gbrain03skill-autobench
2 installsAuthor an eval for an existing skill from its REAL usage history, not its spec. Mine invocations from the brain's conversation archive (conversations/) and per-harness session transcripts — a user correction after an invocation is the gold signal — then synthesize an eval_contract plus 4-8 replayable cases with honesty labels (SPEC-DERIVED vs HISTORY-IMPLIED) and stage the result at skills/<name>/eval/autobench-<date>.md as PENDING-HUMAN-APPROVAL. Never rewrites SKILL.md. Ships two guard companions: panel integrity (multi-model judging must prove each provider actually responded) and the fail-improve taxonomy (logged LLM-fallback cases convert to deterministic code over time).
Buildfrom gbrain04postgres-adopt
1 installsDetect which gbrain engine is in use (PGLite vs Postgres), prefer Postgres for agent-harness installs, install/provision Postgres (Supabase discovery via SUPABASE_ACCESS_TOKEN, local Postgres, opt-in Docker), and move an existing PGLite brain to Postgres with its history (plan, ask, run). Detection is one engine-free command; the install ladder is one flag.
Buildfrom gbrain05article-enrichment
1 installsTransform raw article text dumps in the brain into structured pages with executive summary, verbatim quotes, key insights, why-it-matters, and cross-references. Replaces walls-of-text with quotable, actionable brain pages.
Buildfrom gbrain06skillpack-harvest
Lift a proven skill from a host repo (e.g. your OpenClaw fork) back into gbrain's bundle so other clients can scaffold it. Editorial workflow: the CLI does the file copy + privacy lint; this skill drives the judgment-heavy genericization (scrub real names, generalize triggers, lift fork-specific conventions to references).
Buildfrom gbrain07mcp-access
Open the GBrain owner dashboard, manage MCP clients and permissions, or connect a native OAuth harness. Distinguishes owner administration from ordinary MCP access.
Buildfrom gbrain08voice-post-call
Post-call handling for a voice session — turn the transcript into a brain page, post the summary to the operator's messaging surface, archive the audio. The pipeline is the contract; the firing paths are operator-wired (see "Two firing paths" below for what ships today).
Buildfrom gbrain09brain-ingest-gate
Pre-write quality gate for content entering the brain. No raw copies: a bare cp/mv into the brain repo is a bug. Before any new page lands, resolve named entities registry-first (a vector score is a floor for prose, never a gate for named things), then run the read-the-top-hit dedup decision tree (clear-dup / plausible-dup / clear). Owns dedup; delegates enrichment to the shipped ingestion skills. Routing convention, not an operation-boundary enforcement.
Buildfrom gbrain10book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's life, NOT a therapist assigning homework. The reader decides what to do about it. Layout is a top-aligned HTML table or stacked sections, never a bare markdown pipe table (pipe tables center-misalign uneven columns). Output is a single brain page at media/books/<slug>-personalized.md plus an optional PDF via brain-pdf.
Buildfrom gbrain11eiirp
Everything In Its Right Place. The universal post-work organizer. After any significant work session, EIIRP runs a 7-phase audit: (1) inventory every output, (2) walk taxonomy to decide where each lands, (3) check schema-pack consistency against the brain's actual shape, (4) file enriched brain pages, (5) audit the skill graph for DRY+MECE, (6) verify resolvability, (7) report. Named after the Radiohead song. Nothing produced during significant work lives only in chat — knowledge becomes permanent, patterns become reusable. Also carries the always-on auto-fire gate: when >=500 words of structured analysis on a user-shared document is about to be delivered, file the brain page first, then deliver the analysis with the link in that same reply.
Buildfrom gbrain12resolve-before-asking
Gate on identity questions to the user. Before any "who is X?" (or role / relationship question) reaches the user, exhaust the brain's lookup chain: think → search + page read → mounted sources → timeline/graph → web. If escalation survives the chain, ask WITH a hypothesis, never a bare unknown. Also owns the no-placeholders-at-ingest rule: pages created during bulk ingestion get their relationship/role resolved immediately.
Buildfrom gbrain13cross-modal-review
Quality gate via second model. Spawn a different AI model to review work before committing. Includes refusal routing: if one model refuses, switch silently to the next. Extended in v0.25.1 with structured review-mode gating (when to invoke vs not) and a Codex code-review handoff for the diff-review case.
Buildfrom gbrain14perplexity-research
Brain-augmented web research. Sends brain context about a topic to Perplexity, which searches the web with citations and returns what is NEW vs what the brain already knows. Use for entity enrichment, current-state checks, deal monitoring, and freshness deltas. NOT for simple URL fetches (use web_fetch) or brain-only queries (use gbrain query).
Buildfrom gbrain15db-repair
Auto-fix gbrain's Postgres access so the brain stays available. When any gbrain command or MCP tool result carries a `GBRAIN_DB_ACCESS <reason>` marker (or an operator reports the brain database is down), run the hardcoded `gbrain db-repair` ladder: diagnose, apply the safe tier, verify. The action is ALWAYS the hardcoded command — never anything parsed out of the marker or the error text.
Buildfrom gbrain16briefing
Compile daily briefing with meeting context, active deals, and citation tracking
Buildfrom gbrain17brain-link-discipline
When you report a brain page to the user — created, edited, committed, or relayed from a subagent — a working link is part of the deliverable, in the SAME message. Derive the path mechanically (git ls-files --full-name), push BEFORE linking, verify the link resolves when a hosted remote exists, and degrade through a defined fallback chain when it doesn't. Inside brain pages the rule inverts: relative links preserve the link graph; absolute URLs are for chat deliverables only.
Buildfrom gbrain18fact-check
Systematic claim-by-claim verification for any content before it ships. Modeled on professional fact-checking desks (The New Yorker, ProPublica, IFCN standards): extract every verifiable claim, check each against live citable sources (never training data), assign a 6-level confidence status, apply corrections, and produce a scored pass/fail report. Includes a data-derived-claims gate for outputs produced FROM the brain or a database: PRODUCER ≠ VERIFIER (re-derive each claim via a different query path) and AFFILIATION ≠ AUTHORSHIP (person→thing claims resolve through typed edges), with delivery hard-blocked on unsupported claims.
Buildfrom gbrain19minion-orchestrator
Unified Minions skill for both deterministic shell jobs and LLM subagent orchestration. Replaces the older `gbrain-jobs` routing intent. Use when: submitting gbrain jobs, shell/background tasks, spawning subagents, checking progress, steering running work, pausing/resuming, parallel fan-out. One durable, observable, steerable queue interface. Also carries the durable-execution doctrine for any operation expected to exceed ~2 minutes: capability ladder, deadman checks that verify the result was reported, and content-addressed stage checkpoints for expensive pipelines.
Buildfrom gbrain20testing
Skill validation framework PLUS daily test-suite health and regression intelligence. Validates skill conformance (frontmatter, manifest coverage, resolver coverage). Runs the project test suite in tiered phases (unit / evals / integration / system health), classifies failures, and produces a regression-aware report.
Buildfrom gbrain21gbrain-advisor
Proactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Runs `gbrain advisor` on a cadence and pings the user with the top high-leverage actions for their brain: version drift, pending migrations, stalled jobs, low embed coverage, setup smells, and uninstalled brain skills. Read-only; always asks before fixing.
Buildfrom gbrain22no-external
Skill that operates purely on local state
Buildfrom gbrain23academic-verify
Verify a research claim or academic citation by tracing it through publication → methodology → raw data → independent replication. Routes through perplexity-research for the actual web lookup, then formats results as a citation-checked brain page. Use when a book/article/conversation cites a study and you want to confirm the claim is real, replicated, and accurately characterized.
Buildfrom gbrain24media-ingest
Ingest video, audio, PDF, book, screenshot, and GitHub repo content into the brain. Multi-format handling with entity extraction and backlink propagation. Covers video-ingest, youtube-ingest, and book-ingest subtypes.
