Capracon Second Brain

Vibe Code Your Second Brain

**CapraCon 2026 workshop.** Friday 14:00 -- 15:45. 105 minutes, 25 people, one goal: you walk out with a working AI-augmented second brain.

This repo is a **guide + starter pack**, not a finished app. You point your own agent (Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, ...) at `START_HERE.md`, answer a short stack-quiz, and the agent bootstraps your second brain in your tool of choice -- Obsidian, Notion, SharePoint, plain markdown, or Confluence.

Start here

1. Click Use this template (top-right of this page) -> Create a new repository and make your own copy under your GitHub account. (Keeps your work separate from the workshop master, and stops accidental pushes back to it.)
2. Clone your new repo locally and open it in your agent of choice.
3. Tell your agent: "Read START_HERE.md and help me get going."
4. Answer the 4-question stack quiz. The agent takes it from there.

What you'll build

• A knowledge base in your chosen stack, with a clean starter structure.
• Frontmatter / metadata conventions your agent enforces on every write.
• One real note saved with proper metadata and cross-links, before the workshop ends.
• Two small skills you wrote yourself in Challenge 2: copy-to-clipboard (mechanical helper) and devils-advocate (opinionated thinking partner).

Stuck?

If you're stuck, or your agent is going in circles, flag one of the crew -- we are on the floor for exactly this, with help, tips, and inspiration:

• Magnus Rødseth -- speaker, facilitator
• Rune Lind -- tech arkitekt
• Vemund Santi -- tech lead
