What it does
Second Brain Setup is an agent skill from superhero-tech/super-brain. Use when creating or refreshing a product builder's personal profile in 8-System/about.md - supports both assessment-based (Gallup, DISC, MBTI) and interview-based onboarding
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/README.md`, `evals/fixture-assessment-gallup.md` and `evals/fixture-interview-solo.md`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Second brain. The repository describes itself as: Product Builder Second Brain - AI Product Heroes Edition 3. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts
“/second-brain-setup”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0922a1a. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
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
Second Brain Setup loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Always· name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs· the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references· SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k
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.

description
Use when creating or refreshing a product builder's personal profile in 8-System/about.md - supports both assessment-based (Gallup, DISC, MBTI) and interview-based onboarding
Second Brain Setup
Purpose
Runs a conversation with the product builder and writes the result to 8-System/about.md. That file tells the agent who the human is, how they want to be treated and where they need to be pushed. It works as a pair with 8-System/brain.md, which holds the universal operating rules.
When to use
Setting up a new vault for the first time
Refreshing the profile after a role change, a new project or a shift in priorities
When the AI feels "out of calibration"
How it works
Step 0: Pick a path
Ask:
There are two ways for me to get to know you:
A) I have assessment results - paste your CliftonStrengths (Gallup), DISC, MBTI, 16Personalities, Enneagram, Working Genius or any other personality/competency assessment. I will pull out the parts that change how we work together.
B) Let's talk - I will run a short interview (5-7 minutes).
You can do both: start with the assessment, then fill the gaps by talking.
Path A: Assessment-first
Read the pasted results
Extract ONLY operational information - the parts that change how the AI works:
Strengths -> how the AI should frame recommendations
Weaknesses and blind spots -> where the AI should actively push
Communication style -> how the AI should speak
Decision style -> how the AI should present options
Do NOT copy the full report into about.md. The extract is 5-8 bullets in the "How to work with me" section
Ask short follow-up questions about what the assessment does not cover:
Current role and context (Q1 from references/questions.md - short version, 2-3 sentences is enough)
Six-month goal (Q4 from references/questions.md)
Go to Step 3 (proposal)
Path B: Interview
Ask the questions in references/questions.md in order: Q1 (Context), Q2 (Communication style), Q3 (Development areas), Q4 (Goals)
Rules:
Q1: all six sub-questions in one block, one answer
Q2.1-Q2.5: five multiple-choice questions, one at a time
Q3: multi-select, 2-3 from a list of 8
Q4: one open question
Go to Step 3 (proposal)
Show full SKILL.md (181 more words)Show less
Step 3: Propose the content of about.md
Do not write the file yet. Show the full proposal:
Here is what I want to write to 8-System/about.md:
[full file content]
Look right? Say "save" or tell me what to fix.
File format - three sections:
markdown
# About me
## Context
[Role, company, product, users, metrics - from Q1 or from the assessment plus follow-up]
## How to work with me
[5-8 bullets: communication style, strengths, blind spots, how to frame recommendations]
[Path A: extract from the assessment. Path B: from Q2 + Q3]
## Current goal
[From Q4, in their own words]
---
## History
- [YYYY-MM-DD]: profile created [path A: based on CliftonStrengths / path B: interview]
Step 4: Save after confirmation
Only after an explicit "save", "OK", "yes" - write to 8-System/about.md. Append an entry to History.
Re-run mode
When about.md already exists:
Read the existing file
Summarise it: "I already know you a bit. Your current profile says..."
Ask: "What changed?"
Update only the delta
Append a history entry: - [YYYY-MM-DD]: updated [list of sections]
STOP - red flags
Writing about.md without showing a proposal and getting confirmation
Modifying brain.md (never allowed)
Copying a full Gallup/DISC report into about.md instead of an operational extract
In re-run mode, asking everything again instead of asking for the delta
Asking the user to pick their role from a closed list of job titles
Implying that some roles are "more of a product builder" than others
