COG Onboarding Skill

Personalize the COG Second Brain workflow by selecting a role pack, configuring integrations, and initializing the vault structure.

Capabilities

  • Initialize COG vault with the standard directory structure (00-inbox through 05-knowledge)
  • Configure one of 7 role packs: Product Manager, Engineering Lead, Engineer, Designer, Founder, Marketer, Custom
  • Set up user profile with interests, domains, and news sources
  • Configure external integrations (GitHub, Linear, Slack, PostHog)
  • Create personalized workflow templates based on role
  • Initialize Git tracking for the vault

Tool Use Instructions

  1. Use file-read to check for existing vault at the specified path
  2. Use directory-create to build the COG directory structure
  3. Use file-write to create profile.md in 00-inbox with role pack configuration
  4. Use git-init to initialize Git repository in the vault
  5. Use file-write to create .gitignore with privacy-sensitive patterns
  6. Use git-commit to commit initial vault structure
