What Brain Setup does

Brain Setup bootstraps the Open Project Brain Standard into a project by creating BRAIN.md, scaffolding the brain data directory, and wiring CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md. Use it when initializing a project memory setup or adding optional hooks.

Brain Setup is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Brain Setup comes from a repository tagged agent-memory, ai-agents, claude-code, cli and codex.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

brain-setup

This skill bootstraps a project into the Open Project Brain Standard: it drops in the protocol entry point and the brain/ skeleton so the brain-page and brain-ingest skills (and the brain CLI) have something to work with. It is idempotent — safe to run again on an already-initialized project.

Preferred one-shot path: from the project root run:

node <brain-page-bundle>/bin/brain.mjs init

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
