## What it is
A Claude Code plugin that generates a personalized knowledge management system (a 'second brain') of plain markdown files from a conversational setup process. It derives folder structures, context files, processing skills, hooks, and navigation maps tailored to the user's domain.

## Use cases
- build a second brain in markdown from conversation
- give my AI coding agent persistent memory across sessions
- generate a personal knowledge base without manual configuration
- automate note-taking and knowledge capture in Claude Code
- create wiki-linked knowledge graphs owned as plain files
- set up a Zettelkasten-style vault automatically

## When to choose
- you use Claude Code and want persistent, structured knowledge across sessions
- you want plain markdown files with no database or cloud lock-in
- you prefer a derived, domain-tailored system over generic templates
- you want automated hooks for note structure, maintenance, and auto-commit

## When to avoid
- you don't use Claude Code as your development environment
- you want a GUI-based note-taking app like Obsidian or Notion
- you can't afford a token-intensive one-time setup (~20 minutes)
- you need a mature, battle-tested system rather than an early-stage plugin
