COG-second-brain

Deep strategic research engine — decomposes questions into parallel research threads, spawns multiple agents, and synthesizes into actionable strategic analysis

Quick capture of raw thoughts with intelligent domain classification and competitive intelligence extraction

Update people profiles in 05-knowledge/people/ with new information from brief data, meetings, or Slack

>

Deep-dive 7-day analysis across all data sources for weekly reviews, board prep, and strategic planning

Autonomous content pipeline - scout announcements in your field, triage by trend momentum and personal angle, produce posts/blogs/videos in your voice with ledger-based dedup, hard volume caps, and screenshot-verified publishing

Create user stories with duplicate checking across any project tracker (Linear, GitHub Issues, Jira)

Generate personalized news intelligence with verified sources (7-day freshness requirement)

A passive daily work journal that Claude keeps FOR you so you never have to write it yourself. Append short entries after meaningful work (what was done, what you focused on, artifacts touched) to 01-daily/journal/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Run a guided reflection at night or in the morning. Use when you run /daily-journal, say "log this to my journal", "add to today's journal", "reflect on today/yesterday", or when finishing a meaningful chunk of work in any session.

Pick the right way to represent a dataset so a reader gets the finding in three seconds — a catalog of 20+ chart and diagram forms with when-to-use and failure modes, plus the encoding decisions that make any of them readable (takeaway headline, direct labels, kill the axis, highlight-and-mute, show the caveat). Style-agnostic — use with whatever palette or design system the destination already has. Use when charting survey results, benchmark data, usage metrics, or research findings for a post, brief, deck, or report, and whenever the default bar chart feels like it's burying the point.

Audit and export open issues from any project tracker with summary analysis and vault archival

Targeted fixes after task-verifier returns FAIL:fixable. Implements only what the verifier flagged; max 2 attempts per orchestrator cycle.

Generate product requirements documents with optional publishing to Confluence or other wiki platforms

Generate categorized release notes from any source (GitHub, Linear, Jira, or manual input) with optional publishing

Draft session learnings from harvest staging into lizard-ready adoption notes. Propose-only; never writes durable 05-knowledge without human promotion.

Read-only CP-4 gate. Cross-task wiring and global acceptance for multi-task specs. Cannot edit files.

Build frameworks from scattered insights across all braindumps and notes

Shared loop-engineering reference for COG skills - the agent loop, deterministic verifiers, termination conditions, in-loop context management, and named patterns. Invoke when designing or debugging a skill that iterates (search-verify-retry, scan-until-dry, fetch-retry-gate).

Process meeting recordings and notes into structured decisions, action items, and team dynamics with intelligent noise filtering

Periodic trust sweep of persistent memory and durable knowledge notes - re-verifies environment-dependent claims against the live environment, stamps last_verified + confidence, and proposes archiving drifted entries

Source authentic, high-res PUBLIC-DOMAIN artwork from museum open-access APIs (Met, Cleveland, SMK, Rijksmuseum, NGA, Art Institute of Chicago, Getty, Smithsonian) instead of AI-generated or generic-stock imagery. The default move whenever a visual needs an aesthetic, credible image (blog heroes, decks, social cards, essay/spec figures). Verified keyless recipes + licensing rules inside.

Edit drafts into sharper, more human writing while preserving the writer's personal voice, or detect AI-slop patterns without rewriting. Use when the user wants a draft clearer, more direct, more opinionated, or less AI-sounding, or asks whether writing reads as AI.
