capracon-second-brain

CapraCon 2026 workshop. Friday 14:00 -- 15:45. 105 minutes, 25 people, one goal: you walk out with a working AI-augmented second brain.

This repo is a guide + starter pack, not a finished app. You point your own agent (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, ...) at START_HERE.md, answer a short stack-quiz, and the agent bootstraps your second brain in your tool of choice -- Obsidian, Notion, SharePoint, plain markdown, or Confluence.

Start here

• Click Use this template (top-right of this page) - Create a new repository and make your own copy under your GitHub account. (Keeps your work separate from the workshop master, and stops accidental pushes back to it.)
• Clone your new repo locally and open it in your agent of choice.
• Tell your agent: *"Read START_HERE.md and help me get going."*
• Answer the 4-question stack quiz. The agent takes it from there.

What you'll build

• A knowledge base in your chosen stack, with a clean starter structure.
• Frontmatter / metadata conventions your agent enforces on every write.
• One real note saved with proper metadata and cross-links, before the workshop ends.
• Two small skills you wrote yourself in Challenge 2: copy-to-clipboard (mechanical helper) and devils-advocate (opinionated thinking partner).

Stuck?

If you're stuck, or your agent is going in circles, flag one of the crew -- we are on the floor for exactly this, with help, tips, and inspiration:
