second-brain-os

A personal AI workspace that runs on your own computer. You talk to it in plain language — it handles your morning briefing, your contacts, your projects, meeting prep, finding old notes, even design mockups.

No commands to memorize — it figures out which built-in workflow you need and runs it.

What this is

It turns Claude Code into your personal chief of staff — or research companion, engineering co-pilot, whatever fits (you pick during setup). You set it up once, then just talk to it like a sharp assistant who knows your projects, your people, and your priorities.

It's not an app or a website. It's a folder on your Mac that Claude Code reads from. Your data stays on your machine — nothing leaves unless you explicitly ask it to send something (like posting a Slack message).

Set it up (about 5 minutes)

You need a Mac, Claude Code, and git. Then:

Inside the Claude session that opens, type:

That's the whole setup. /bootstrap is a short guided walkthrough — it asks your name, what you want to call your assistant, a sample of how you write, picks a visual style, and creates your folders. It explains each step as it goes and never changes anything without asking.

Missing git or Claude Code? /bootstrap checks your machine and tells you exactly what to install. No separate installer needed for the everyday setup.

When it finishes, try "morning, what's on my plate today?" or "let's start a new project for X."
