The latest additions to the core-skills ecosystem

Skill evolution

Skills learn from your corrections. Edge cases logged silently, patterns compiled, improvements proposed automatically.

MCP Server

Claude queries your vault directly via JSON-RPC. Tasks, insights, documents -- no file scanning needed.

Verticals

Living documents that aggregate insights across meetings on a single strategic topic.

Two ways to work

Same skills, same results. Choose the interface that fits you.

Claude Code

For developers and power users. Slash commands in the terminal -- type /ops, paste a transcript, done.

Relaxed professional while Claude processes documents

Claude does the heavy lifting

Claude reads your transcript, identifies participants, extracts decisions, creates summaries, and offers to import action items -- all in one go. You review and approve. That's it.

Team reviewing a shared knowledge dashboard

Your team's second brain

From chaos to clarity

What changes when every meeting has a memory

Without core-skills
Stressed person at cluttered desk with scattered notes
  • Notes scattered across 5 apps
  • "What did we decide last time?"
  • Action items lost in chat
  • 20 min prep before every call
  • Institutional knowledge in people's heads
With core-skills
Calm person at clean desk with organized dashboard
  • Everything in your Obsidian vault
  • Decisions tracked with rationale
  • Tasks flow into your daily dashboard
  • Auto-generated briefings with context
  • Knowledge compounds over time

Ten skills, one ecosystem

Each skill handles one part of the workflow. They share standards, connect data, and work together without configuration.

/inbox

Capture

Universal content capture. Voice memos, quick notes, links, ideas -- anything goes. /inbox classifies, saves to _inbox/, and suggests where to route it next.

Classify Route Notes

/transcript

Lightweight

For personal calls and ad-hoc recordings when you don't need org config. Clean summary, CHANGELOG, and knowledge extraction.

/preparation

Context

Auto-generates meeting briefings from previous conversations. Open items, talking points, a suggested agenda, and cross-references from other contacts -- ready in seconds.

/tasks

Tracking

Distributed task tracker with per-folder files, priorities, source linking, and automatic carry-forward. Tasks from meetings show up in your dashboard.

/daily-dashboard

Overview

Start your morning with today's meetings, active tasks, and quick-access symlinks. Auto-discovers preparations and completed calls.

/insights

Knowledge

Knowledge extraction and skill evolution. Backfills insights, compiles execution feedback into patterns, proposes skill improvements. Subcommands: reprocess, compile, propose.

/update-skills

Utility

Manages skill repos, symlinks, and updates with multi-remote version safety. One command keeps everything current.
