What it does

Set Up Brain is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. The front door to building a brand's brain. Run this when standing up a new brand — it needs the Parker MCP connected for data, and the brand's synced folder from the Parker Desktop app (which creates the brand's repo and usually opens this very session inside it). It welcomes the person, works inside the folder Parker Desktop keeps in sync, connects and tests the data, asks the short brand intake (the things Parker genuinely can't observe), runs the full build in dependency order, confirms everything synced, and…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with Model Context Protocol.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says set up a brand
  • Build the brain
  • Onboard a new brand
  • Get started building

Example prompts

  • “s synced folder from the Parker Desktop app (which creates the brand”
  • “/set-up-brain”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Find out what already exists — before any pitch. Run the runner's existence check first ("Before anything — find out what already…
  2. Welcome and orient them, then get the go-ahead. Open warm and human, following the runner's orientation section: what a brand brain is…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a6f6c6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Set Up Brain loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 254 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,850 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~254
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,850 words (~4,528 tokens).

“This is the front door. Someone wants to stand up a brain for their brand, and your job is to take them from nothing to a finished, saved brand brain they understand — warmly, and at their pace. The order…”
