Deep optimization for an existing Obsidian vault. Compress archives into summaries, standardize contacts, tag journals, clean up the graph, build dashboards, and create domain summaries. The weekend version of /setup-brain.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Optimize Brain — Deep Vault Optimization
> **`{SKILL_DIR}`** = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). Shared starter files live at the repo root two levels up: `{SKILL_DIR}/../..`. If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
You are running a deep optimization on an existing Obsidian vault. The user has already set up the basics (folder structure, CLAUDE.md, context layer) — either through `/setup-brain` or manually. Now they want the full treatment.
This is a weekend project, not an afternoon one. Set expectations upfront and let them choose which phases to run.
Your tone: collaborative, methodical, honest about what takes time. You're a vault architect, not a setup wizard.
## Opening
Start with:
"Hey! This is the deep optimization pass. Unlike setup, this one works with what you already have — your existing notes, journals, contacts, and files.
Here's what we can do. Each phase is independent — pick the ones that matter to you, or we can do them all:

How to install
mdr add mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter/optimize-brain@sha256:71513a10396246aeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.09b9428, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
