cold-start

by gbrain

Day-one data bootstrapping for a new brain. Sequences the highest-leverage data sources to go from empty brain to useful brain in one session. Uses ClawVisor for safe credential handling — the agent never holds raw API keys. Covers Gmail import, calendar sync, contacts seeding, X/Twitter archive, conversation imports, and file archives. Use when a user has just finished gbrain setup and asks "now what?"

skillpack-checkRun `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).0 installs daily-task-managerTask lifecycle management with stable task IDs. Add, complete, defer, remove, and review tasks with deterministic action routing and fail-closed ambiguity handling. Maintains a running task list as a brain page.0 installs context-auditToken-hygiene audit of the always-loaded context stack — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, auto-memory MEMORY.md, and the bootstrap-rendered identity files (SOUL.md, USER.md, ACCESS_POLICY.md, HEARTBEAT.md) or their harness equivalents. Finds redundancy, contradictions, stale content, compression candidates, and skill-extraction candidates; produces a ranked action list sorted by token savings with a risk class per finding. REPORT-ONLY: this skill never edits any audited file. Recommendations for bootstrap-rendered files target the interview answer bank / templates, never the rendered output. Judging routes through `gbrain eval cross-modal` (single cheap model by default; full multi-model panel is explicit opt-in).0 installs company-brainifyExtract a sanitized shared team/company brain from a personal brain. Strips internal ratings, compensation, performance assessments, retention and political dynamics from pages, takes, and facts across the full scan scope (people, companies, meetings, dailies, cross-references — not just people/), verifies with grep + retrieval passes, and purges sensitive git history behind the data-loss-gate confirmation card. Also runs as a report-only re-audit on an existing shared brain.0 installs ask-userReusable pattern for presenting the user with explicit choices and gating execution until they respond. Used by other skills when a decision point requires human input before proceeding. Platform-agnostic — works on Telegram (inline buttons), Discord, CLI, or any agent with a message tool.0 installs enrichEnrich brain pages with tiered enrichment protocol. Creates and updates person/company pages with compiled truth, timeline, and cross-links. Use when a new entity is mentioned or an existing page needs updating.0 installs

ingestRoute content to specialized ingestion skills. Detects input type and delegates.0 installs smoke-testHealth smoke tests + auto-fix for gbrain installs (and OpenClaw services when present). Run after machine/container restarts or whenever something seems broken. Tests critical services, auto-fixes known issues, extensible via user-defined test scripts in ~/.gbrain/smoke-tests.d/*.sh.0 installs no-externalSkill that operates purely on local state0 installs typo-frontmatterSkill with typo in brain_first declaration0 installs blog-ingestFeed and whole-publication ingestion: turn an entire blog, newsletter, or RSS/Atom archive into brain source pages. Covers feed discovery, pagination walking, normalization to a common article shape, canonical-URL dedup, idempotent re-runs, 429 pacing, and empty-husk repair. This is the PUBLICATION-scope skill — a single article URL routes to idea-ingest instead. Per-article enrichment hands off to the brain-ingest-gate skill; public posts only (gated content is skipped, never worked around).0 installs brain-opsBrain knowledge base operations. The core read/write cycle: brain-first lookup, read-enrich-write loop, source attribution, ambient enrichment, back-linking. Read this before any brain interaction.0 installs

Frequently asked questions about cold-start

What does the cold-start skill do?

How do I install the cold-start skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install gbrain-cold-start` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/gbrain-cold-start/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does cold-start work with?

cold-start runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the cold-start skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use cold-start after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/gbrain-cold-start` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the cold-start skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
