Second Brain Daemon

Most productivity systems fail because they depend on you to maintain them. Miss a few days, and everything falls out of date. 2bd runs itself. Daily rituals archive your notes, synthesize insights, and prepare tomorrow’s workspace. You write in markdown files that sync to the cloud. Claude handles the housekeeping.

Core architecture

Notes are organized by metabolic state—how active and volatile they are—rather than by topic.
StatePurpose
CAPTIVEWorking notes — high-velocity, volatile intake
SYNTHETICActive drafts — projects in progress
PERIODICArchives — the permanent timeline
SEMANTICReference — crystallized knowledge
SYSTEMICStructure — templates, workflows

Neural pathways

Time scales nest inside each other, each feeding into the next: Planning and review cycles across time scales Two rituals drive the system:
  • PLANNING — Prepares your working notes from templates, synthesizes prior knowledge
  • REVIEW — Archives working notes to Periodic, synthesizes forward

claude skill run ritual-review-daily     # evening cycle

System capabilities

  • Self-maintaining notes — Rituals archive your working notes daily, so nothing falls out of date.
  • Synthesized insights — The system learns your patterns and crystallizes insights over time.
  • Leadership coaching — Daily intentions and coaching prompts integrated into your workflow.
  • Cloud-synced — Works with OneDrive, iCloud, Dropbox. Your notes follow you everywhere.
