In this episode

  • Main brain naming distinction from second brain (main brain is in charge of knowledge, not auxiliary to it)
  • Folder discipline: raw (append-only) / wiki (atomic linked pages) / intake (inbox) / journal (auto-written from sessions)
  • Identities as a spice rack — per-context voice profiles swappable per task (training vs writing vs videos vs per-client)
  • Slash commands as system primitives: /intake process, /dream (end-of-day optimizer), /save context, /recall
  • Main Brain Command Center: Obsidian plugin with live integrations (Gmail, Calendar, Zoom, ClickUp, Slack, HubSpot) and TTS voice
