📓 2026-03-31 — Second Brain Initialization
Session Summary
Claude reviewed all past conversations (going back to early March 2026) and performed a full initialization of the Second Brain, including routing content to the correct repos.
Files Written — `second-brain`
`notes/personal/` (10 new files)- `profile.md` — identity, personality, goals, schedule, how Claude works with Kaleb
- `home-family.md` — Mindy, Teddy, dogs, household, local services
- `work-ibm.md` — IBM role, ITVM, Figma, calendar color codes
- `calendar-system.md` — full color system, TTRPG calendar ID, recurring events, MCP technical patterns
- `finance-home.md` — Kyle TX home research, down payment scenarios, suburb comparison, insurance
- `tech-tools.md` — MCP server status, Windows config details, hardware, software, Steam watchlist
- `projects.md` — all artifacts built with Claude, tool concepts, Google Drive doc IDs
- `hobbies.md` — Steam hardware watch, film log, Letterboxd, gaming, interests
- `writing.md` — novel project status, prose preferences, known characters
- (food-health.md removed — content belongs in wood-home-cooking repo)
- `doordash-philosophy-capture.md` — YouTube note from `D:\Kaleb\` on Blitzscaling/consumerism
- `archive-birthing-partner-notes.md` — pre-Teddy labor partner notes, archived
Routing Decisions Made
| Content | Routed To | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Personal notes (profile, calendar, finances, tech, hobbies, writing) | `second-brain/notes/personal/` | Correct home per repo-index rules |
| Worldbuilding (Halden City, etc.) | NOT added — `halden-city-wiki` already has deep files | Would be a regression |
| Food/health/recipes | NOT added to second-brain — `wood-home-cooking` repo owns this | Pre-existing, detailed knowledge base |
| DoorDash philosophy capture | `second-brain/inbox/` | Unprocessed note, needs sorting |
| Birthing partner notes | `second-brain/journal/` as archive | Historical/completed context |
| Empty `Superhero World Building.md` | Ignored | Empty file |
Next Steps
- Run `sync.bat` in `D:\Kaleb\second-brain` to push to GitHub
- Confirm `wood-home-cooking` GitHub URL and update `meta/repo-index.md` + `maps/master-map.md`
- Consider processing `inbox/doordash-philosophy-capture.md` into a `notes/philosophy/` file
- Google Sheets MCP (`mcp-google-sheets` by xing5) still pending setup
