brain-profile-ace

The default profile for second-brain: ACE-aligned folders (Atlas/, Efforts/, Cards/, Calendar/, Sources/), 16 Claude Code skills (11 global, 5 vault), zk note templates, and the brain plugin identity. A brain profile is everything under <brain>/.brain/ — skills, templates, hooks, and profile.toml.

Use it

This is the profile brain-init clones by default — a plain docker run of the second-brain image gets it with zero configuration (network required on first init).

To pick a different profile, or a fork of this one:

# Container
docker run -d -e BRAIN_PROFILE_REPO=https://github.com/you/your-profile ... kitchencoder/second-brain:latest

# Host
brain-init --profile-repo https://github.com/you/your-profile /path/to/brain
brain-init --profile-repo /path/to/local/profile-dir /path/to/brain   # offline / local

Fork this repo to make your own flavour: edit profile.toml (folders, skills, plugin identity, zk conventions) and the skills/, templates/, hooks/ it references. After seeding, brain-profile update fast-forwards a brain's clone to this repo's latest. profile.toml declares schema = 1 (the manifest format version); an engine older than a profile's declared schema refuses to load it rather than misreading it.

Second brain on one machine

The plugin identity (plugin.name, hook marker, MCP server name) is shared by every brain using this profile. Give each additional brain a name at init — brain-init --brain-name work (or -e BRAIN_NAME=work) — which qualifies the staged identity (second-brain-work, brain-work) and remap its published host ports (--mcp-port / --api-port). See the second-brain User Guide for the full two-brain and tunnel/reverse-proxy walkthroughs.
