# Send Second Brain: Turn conversations into lasting knowledge to your agent Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually. ## Fast path - Download the package from Yavira. - Extract it into a folder your agent can access. - Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder. ## Suggested prompts ### New install ```text I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete. ``` ### Upgrade existing ```text I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run. ``` ## Machine-readable fields ```json { "schemaVersion": "1.0", "item": { "slug": "second-brain", "name": "Second Brain: Turn conversations into lasting knowledge", "source": "tencent", "type": "skill", "category": "AI 智能", "sourceUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/christinetyip/second-brain", "canonicalUrl": "https://clawhub.ai/christinetyip/second-brain", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw" }, "install": { "downloadUrl": "/downloads/second-brain", "sourceDownloadUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=second-brain", "sourcePlatform": "tencent", "targetPlatform": "OpenClaw", "packageFormat": "ZIP package", "primaryDoc": "SKILL.md", "includedAssets": [ "SKILL.md", "scripts/ensue-api.sh" ], "downloadMode": "redirect", "sourceHealth": { "source": "tencent", "slug": "second-brain", "status": "healthy", "reason": "direct_download_ok", "recommendedAction": "download", "checkedAt": "2026-05-03T14:13:05.194Z", "expiresAt": "2026-05-10T14:13:05.194Z", "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=second-brain", "contentType": "application/zip", "probeMethod": "head", "details": { "probeUrl": "https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=second-brain", "contentDisposition": "attachment; filename=\"second-brain-0.1.4.zip\"", "redirectLocation": null, "bodySnippet": null, "slug": "second-brain" }, "scope": "item", "summary": "Item download looks usable.", "detail": "Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item.", "primaryActionLabel": "Download for OpenClaw", "primaryActionHref": "/downloads/second-brain" }, "validation": { "installChecklist": [ "Use the Yavira download entry.", "Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.", "Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets." ], "postInstallChecks": [ "Confirm the extracted package includes the expected docs or setup files.", "Validate the skill or prompts are available in your target agent workspace.", "Capture any manual follow-up steps the agent could not complete." ] } }, "links": { "detailUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain", "downloadUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/second-brain", "agentUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent", "manifestUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent.json", "briefUrl": "https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent.md" } } ``` ## Documentation ### Second Brain A personal knowledge base for building understanding that compounds over time. Not a note dump - a structured system for capturing knowledge you can actually retrieve and use. ### Philosophy Your second brain should: Capture understanding, not just facts - Write for your future self who forgot the context Be retrievable - Structured so you can find things when you need them Stay evergreen - No private details, credentials, or time-sensitive data Reflect real experience - Only save what you've actually learned or used Before saving: Will future-me thank me for this? ### Namespace Structure public/ --> Shareable knowledge concepts/ --> How things work [domain]/ --> Organize by topic [concept-name] --> Individual concepts toolbox/ --> Tools and technologies _index --> Master index of tools [category]/ --> Group by type [tool-name] --> Individual tools patterns/ --> Reusable solutions [domain]/ --> Design patterns, workflows references/ --> Quick-reference material [topic]/ --> Cheatsheets, syntax, APIs private/ --> Personal only notes/ --> Scratchpad, drafts journal/ --> Dated reflections Example domains: programming, devops, design, business, data, security, productivity ### Concepts For understanding how something works: CONCEPT NAME ============ What it is: [One-line definition] Why it matters: [What problem it solves, when you'd need it] How it works: [Explanation with examples] [ASCII diagrams for architecture/flows where helpful] +----------+ +----------+ | Client | ---> | Server | +----------+ +----------+ Key insight: [The "aha" moment - what makes this click] Related: [links to related concepts] ### Toolbox Entries For tools and technologies you've actually used: TOOL NAME Category: [category] Website: [url] Cost: [free/paid/freemium] What it does: [Brief description] Why I use it: [Personal experience - what problem it solved for you] When to reach for it: [Scenarios where this is the right choice] Quick start: [Minimal setup/usage to get going] Gotchas: [Things that tripped you up] ### Patterns For reusable solutions: PATTERN NAME Problem: [What situation triggers this pattern] Solution: [The approach, with code/pseudocode if relevant] Trade-offs: [Pros and cons, when NOT to use it] Example: [Concrete implementation] ### References For quick-lookup material: REFERENCE: [TOPIC] [Organized, scannable content] [Tables, lists, code snippets] [Minimal prose, maximum signal] ### Saving Knowledge Always confirm before saving: "Want me to save this to your second brain?" Show draft of what will be saved Save after confirmation Confirm what was saved and where ### Retrieving Knowledge When relevant topics come up: Search for existing knowledge Surface related concepts Connect new learning to existing understanding ### Maintaining Quality Before saving, verify: Written for future self who forgot context Includes the WHY, not just the WHAT Has concrete examples No credentials, API keys, or private paths Structured for retrieval ### Anti-Patterns Don't auto-save - Always ask first Don't save unused tools - Only tools actually used Don't save half-understood concepts - Learn first, save after Don't include secrets - No API keys, passwords, tokens Don't create shallow entries - If you can't explain it well, don't save it Don't duplicate - Check if it exists first, update if needed ### API Usage Use the wrapper script: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh '' ### Operations Search knowledge: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh discover_memories '{"query": "how does X work", "limit": 5}' List by namespace: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh list_keys '{"prefix": "public/concepts/", "limit": 20}' Get specific entries: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh get_memory '{"key_names": ["public/concepts/programming/recursion"]}' Create entry: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh create_memory '{"items":[ {"key_name":"public/concepts/domain/name","description":"Short description","value":"Full content","embed":true} ]}' Update entry: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh update_memory '{"key_name": "public/toolbox/_index", "value": "Updated content"}' Delete entry: {baseDir}/scripts/ensue-api.sh delete_memory '{"key_name": "public/notes/old-draft"}' ### Toolbox Index Maintain public/toolbox/_index as master reference: TOOLBOX INDEX ============= Categories: languages/ Programming languages frameworks/ Libraries and frameworks devtools/ Development utilities infrastructure/ Deployment, hosting, CI/CD productivity/ Workflow and productivity tools data/ Databases, analytics, data tools Recent additions: [tool] - [one-line description] Browse: "show my toolbox" or "what tools do I have for [category]" ### Intent Mapping User saysAction"save this", "remember this"Draft entry, confirm, save"what do I know about X"Search and retrieve relevant entries"add [tool] to toolbox"Create toolbox entry"list my [domain] concepts"list_keys for that namespace"show my toolbox"Show toolbox index"update [entry]"Fetch, show diff, update"delete [entry]"Confirm, delete"search for [topic]"Semantic search across all knowledge ### Setup Requires ENSUE_API_KEY environment variable. Get your key at: https://www.ensue-network.ai?utm_source=clawdbot&utm_medium=workflow Configure in clawdbot.json: "skills": { "entries": { "second-brain": { "apiKey": "your-ensue-api-key" } } } ### Security NEVER log or display the API key NEVER store credentials, tokens, or secrets in entries NEVER include personal file paths or system details ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: christinetyip - Version: 0.1.4 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-03T14:13:05.194Z - Expires at: 2026-05-10T14:13:05.194Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/second-brain/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/second-brain)
