# Open Brain Prompt Kits

## Summary

A set of four specific prompts designed to **initialize, maintain, and extract value from** an Open Brain system. Together they cover the full lifecycle: bootstrapping it with existing context, fitting it into your workflow, capturing cleanly, and reviewing periodically.

## The Four Prompts

1. **Memory Migration** — Run once, in your existing AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.). The prompt asks the model to extract and summarize everything it knows about you, your projects, your preferences. Save the output into the new Open Brain. See [[action-run-memory-migration]].
2. **Open Brain Spark** — An interview-style prompt that helps you discover exactly how the Open Brain fits into your specific daily workflows. Surfaces the right capture moments and the right retrieval moments for *your* life.
3. **Quick Capture Templates** — Sentence starters optimized for clean metadata extraction. Think: 'Decision:', 'Person:', 'Insight:', 'Meeting:'. They make life easier for the LLM doing metadata extraction in step 2 of [[framework-open-brain-architecture]].
4. **Weekly Review** — An end-of-week synthesis prompt that clusters topics across the week's captures, finds hidden cross-connections, and flags knowledge gaps. Closes the loop between raw capture and reflective insight.

## How to Use Them Together

- Day 1: Run **Memory Migration** to seed the brain.
- Week 1: Run **Open Brain Spark** to discover personal-fit workflows.
- Daily: Use **Quick Capture Templates** for low-friction logging.
- Weekly: Run **Weekly Review** to compound insight.

This turns the Open Brain from a database into a *practice*.
