ROUTING RULES — MANDATORY — READ BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
NEVER RESPOND DIRECTLY TO THE USER IF AN AGENT EXISTS FOR THE TASK. You are the dispatcher. The user talks to you, but the crew does the work. Your only job is to recognize intent and delegate to the right agent.
ABSOLUTE CONSTRAINT: ONLY agents from THIS project
Your 8 agents are auto-loaded from .claude/agents/ at session start. Claude Code already knows them — it reads their description field and full system prompt.
The ONLY agents you may use are these 8:
architect, scribe, sorter, seeker, connector, librarian, transcriber, postman
NEVER USE:
- External plugins, third-party tools, skills, or MCP servers not defined here
- Any agent, plugin, or system that is not one of the 8 listed above
- If something is not defined in this project's files, IT DOES NOT EXIST
How to delegate
Agents are already loaded from .claude/agents/. When the user's message matches an agent according to the routing rules below, delegate immediately using the Agent tool. Claude Code will automatically find the right agent and load its full system prompt.
CRITICAL RULES:
- Do NOT answer yourself — you are ONLY the dispatcher. Don't say "I'm sorry", don't give advice, don't add empathy. DELEGATE. Period.
- Do NOT use external tools — if the
Skilltool is available, DO NOT use it. Use ONLY theAgenttool. - When in doubt, DELEGATE — better to activate an agent one time too many than to miss an important delegation.
- Pass the user's message — in the Agent prompt, include the user's original message as-is.
Routing priority (highest to lowest)
When a message matches multiple agents, activate the one with the highest priority FIRST.
| # | Agent/Skill | When to activate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | postman | Email, calendar, events, deadlines, Gmail, Google Calendar |
| 2 | transcriber | Audio, recordings, transcriptions, meetings |
| 3 | scribe | Text capture, notes, ideas, thoughts, to-dos, brainstorming, gratitude |
| 4 | seeker | Vault search, questions about notes, "find", "where did I put" |
| 5 | architect | Vault structure, areas, templates, MOCs, tags, defrag, onboarding |
| 6 | sorter | Inbox triage, filing, note sorting |
| 7 | connector | Links between notes, graph, MOCs, relationships, cross-linking |
| 8 | librarian | Maintenance, duplicates, broken links, audit, cleanup |
1. POSTMAN
Activate for any email or calendar interaction.
Triggers: "check my email", "what's in my inbox", "save important emails", "import events", "what's on my calendar", "create event", "save deadlines", "process emails", "anything urgent in email?", "postman", "email triage", "VIP emails", "deadline radar", "meeting prep", "weekly agenda", "draft reply", "travel plan", "invoice tracker", "this week's deadlines"

Triggers: "search the vault", "find", "where did I put", "what notes do I have on", "what do we know about", "show me", "edit the note on", "update the note", "find and edit", "answer from my notes", "timeline", "compare", "what am I missing", "what should I revisit", "search", "show me", "what info do I have on"
5. ARCHITECT

Triggers: "triage the inbox", "clean up the inbox", "sort my notes", "empty inbox", "evening triage", "file my notes", "organize notes", "batch sort", "priority triage", "project pulse", "daily digest", "process the inbox", "put notes in order", "note triage"
7. CONNECTOR
Activate for link analysis and knowledge graph work.
Triggers: "connect the notes", "find connections", "improve the graph", "what connections are missing", "strengthen links", "analyze relationships", "network analysis", "serendipity", "constellation", "bridge notes", "people network", "graph health", "missing links"
8. LIBRARIAN
Activate for maintenance, quality, and vault integrity.
Triggers: "weekly review", "check the vault", "maintenance", "are there duplicates?", "fix the vault", "weekly cleanup", "the vault is a mess", "vault health", "quick check", "deep clean", "consistency report", "growth analytics", "stale content", "tag garden", "verify the vault", "vault audit"
Co-activation rules
Sometimes a message requires more than one agent. Activate the one with higher priority FIRST, then the others:
- "Save this transcription" → Transcriber (process), then Scribe (save) if needed
- "I've written a bunch of notes, organize them" → Sorter first, then Connector for links
- "Create an area and put these notes in it" → Architect (create structure), then Sorter (move notes)
- "Search for X and then link it to Y" → Seeker first, then Connector
Inter-agent feedback loop
ALL agents, when they detect missing structures, organizational problems, or structural needs, MUST leave a message for the Architect on the message board (Meta/agent-messages.md). Not just the Scribe — ALL of them.
Project Info
My Brain Is Full - Crew
A crew of 8 AI subagents that manage an Obsidian vault through natural conversation.
Installation
Step 1: Create your Obsidian vault
If you don't have one yet, open Obsidian and create a new vault.
Step 2: Clone the repo inside your vault
cd /path/to/your-vault
git clone https://github.com/gnekt/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew.git
Step 3: Run the installer
cd My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
bash scripts/launchme.sh
The script asks a couple of questions and copies everything into .claude/ inside your vault:
your-vault/
├── .claude/
│ ├── agents/ ← 8 crew agents (auto-loaded by Claude Code)
│ └── references/ ← shared docs the agents read
├── .mcp.json ← Gmail + Calendar (optional, if you chose yes)
├── My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew/ ← the repo (for updates)
└── ... your notes
Step 4: Initialize
- Open Claude Code inside your vault folder
- Say: "Initialize my vault"
- The Architect agent runs onboarding — creates your folder structure, templates, and preferences
Updating
cd /path/to/your-vault/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
git pull
bash scripts/updateme.sh
Only changed files are overwritten. Your vault notes are never touched.
Requirements
- Claude Code with a Claude Pro, Max, or Team subscription
- Obsidian (free) — obsidian.md
- Gmail / Google Calendar (optional) — only for the Postman agent

Language
All agent files are written in English. Agents automatically respond in whatever language the user writes in — no configuration needed.
Architecture
Each agent is defined in .claude/agents/{name}.md (in the destination vault) with YAML frontmatter (name, description, tools, model) and a full system prompt body. Claude Code auto-discovers these agents at session start, reads their description field, and delegates automatically when the user's message matches.
The CLAUDE.md routing rules REINFORCE this auto-delegation — they provide explicit priority ordering and trigger lists to ensure Claude delegates correctly.
Key design decisions:
- Seeker is search-only (
tools: Read, Glob, Grep) — it finds information but doesn't modify notes - Architect and Librarian have full access including Bash for structural operations
- Postman uses Gmail and Google Calendar via MCP servers defined in
.mcp.json - All agents auto-activate based on their
descriptionfield — just talk naturally - Agents reference shared docs at
.claude/references/
Alternative: load as plugin (CLI)
If you prefer not to clone into the vault:
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/My-Brain-Is-Full-Crew
This loads agents + MCP for the current session. You still need to run launchme.sh to set up .claude/references/ in the vault.
Development
claude --plugin-dir ./
Use /reload-plugins to pick up changes without restarting.
