Third Brain

The idea:

  1. Your brain — first brain
  2. RoamNotes — second brain (fluid, personal, 1000+ notes)
  3. Third Brain — third brain (distilled, curated, LLM-maintained)
  4. ClaudeBrain — my brain

Usage

  • I continue to use RoamNotes for my personal writting
  • Once I have a note is pretty well fleshed out (eg: book review) I will do ad-hoc ingest into ThirdBrain
  • For papers I have claude read do /paper-summary - write up a paper review and ingests it into the ThirdBrain
  • For quick thoughts can be added to the inbox for further processing later (emacs keybindin C-c w i)
  • Run /discover [collison] — as an idea generator using context collisions
  • /thirdbrain-query <question> — ask a question, get a synthesized cited answer from ThirdBrain pages
  • /thirdbrain-lint — audit for structural issues (orphan pages, broken links, coverage gaps, index completeness)

  The function my/send-region-to-wiki-inbox is bound to C-c w i globally.

What it does:
- Select any text, hit C-c w i
- Appends - [ ] <selected text> to ~/ClaudeBrain/wiki-inbox.md
- If today's ## YYYY-MM-DD section already exists, inserts the item at the end of that section
- If not, appends a new dated section + item at the bottom of the file
- Saves the file silently, shows a minibuffer confirmation
