| smoke-test | 110 | Post-restart smoke tests + auto-fix for gbrain and OpenClaw environments. |
| frontmatter-guard | 109 | Validate and auto-repair YAML frontmatter on brain pages. Catches malformed metadata before it corrupts the knowledge base. |
Mid-Value Tier (50–99 installs)¶
| Skill | Installs | Description |
|---|---|---|
| book-mirror | 96 | Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis with two-column tables mapping ideas to the reader's life using brain context. |
| strategic-reading | 92 | Read content through a specific strategic problem lens, producing an applied playbook mapping insights to decisions. |
| academic-verify | 92 | Verify research claims by tracing publication → methodology → raw data → independent replication. Routes through multiple verification layers. |
| perplexity-research | 90 | Brain-augmented web research. Sends brain context to Perplexity, returns what is NEW vs what the brain already knows. |
| article-enrichment | 89 | Transform raw article dumps into structured pages with executive summary, key insights, and why-it-matters analysis. |
| brain-pdf | 89 | Generate publication-quality PDF from any brain page via gstack make-pdf binary. Strips YAML frontmatter, applies headers and formatting. |
| concept-synthesis | 89 | Deduplicate and synthesize raw concept stubs into a tiered intellectual map (T1 Canon to T4 Riff), tracing idea evolution across sources. |
| archive-crawler | 89 | Universal archivist for personal file archives (Dropbox, B2, Gmail takeout, local mounts). Filters for high-value user-authored content. |
| voice-note-ingest | 88 | Ingest voice notes with exact-phrasing preservation. Routes content to proper brain categories (concepts, people, companies, ideas). |
| ask-user | 81 | Reusable pattern for presenting the user with explicit choices and gating decisions that require human judgment. |
| functional-area-resolver | 72 | Compress an agent's routing file (RESOLVER.md) by converting functional area mappings into compact decision trees. |
| skillpack-harvest | 61 | Lift a proven skill from a host repo (e.g., OpenClaw fork) back into the canonical gbrain skillpack for reuse. |
Lower-Value Tier (<50 installs)¶
| Skill | Installs | Description |
|---|---|---|
| schema-author | 55 | Evolve the brain's schema pack: add page types, propose new ones from corpus scans, backfill page.type, audit pack health. |
| eiirp | 55 | "Everything In Its Right Place" — universal post-work organizer that files output into proper brain locations after any task. |
| brain-taxonomist | 55 | Filing gate for ALL brain writes. Consulted before creating any new page to ensure proper taxonomy placement. |
| schema-unify | 47 | Migrate a brain from gbrain-base to gbrain-base-v2's 14-canonical-type taxonomy via the unify-types Minion handler. |
| skill-optimizer | 40 | Self-evolving skill optimization via SkillOpt-paper-grounded text-space optimizer. Improves skills based on usage patterns. |
| gbrain-upgrade | 31 | Keep gbrain current. Automatically detects version drift and runs upgrade sequences with rollback protection. |
| idea-lineage | 26 | Trace one idea's evolution through the brain: first mention, best articulation, current state, and derivative concepts. |
| gbrain-advisor | 9 | Proactive "make the most of gbrain" coaching. Analyzes usage patterns and suggests underutilized capabilities. |
