# AI Knowledge Management System

Mega Brain is a Claude Code-powered system that ingests expert materials — videos, PDFs, transcriptions, podcasts, training courses — and transforms them into structured knowledge. It produces playbooks, DNA schemas, and AI agents that reason with traced evidence.

Built for solo entrepreneurs and small teams who want to operationalize the expertise they have accumulated across dozens of courses, mentors, and resources.

## Quick Start

Get up and running in minutes:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Install Dependencies">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npm install
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run Setup">
    ```bash theme={null}
    npx mega-brain-ai setup
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure API Keys">
    Fill in API keys when prompted (only `OPENAI_API_KEY` is required)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check System Status">
    Open Claude Code and run:

    ```
    /jarvis-briefing
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Setup auto-triggers on first use if `.env` is missing, so you can skip straight to step 2 if you prefer.
</Note>

## How It Works

Mega Brain transforms unstructured expert materials into actionable knowledge through a sophisticated pipeline:

1. **Ingest** — Import materials from any source (YouTube, PDFs, audio, text)
2. **Process** — JARVIS runs a 5-phase pipeline to extract structured knowledge
3. **Extract DNA** — Build cognitive profiles across 5 knowledge layers
4. **Create Agents** — Generate mind-clone agents or role-based cargo agents
5. **Deliberate** — Use the Conclave for multi-perspective decision-making

Every piece of extracted knowledge traces back to its source material with full provenance.
