Sprout Brain for Your Coding Agent

About

Gets the latest Sprout Brain partner skills onto a developer's local coding agent (Claude Code and/or Codex) from https://github.com/Sprout-Good-Habits/sprout-brain, has the agent learn what each skill is for and commit that to its own persistent memory, and sets up a daily local job so the skills stay current. Use when a developer wants their home/coding agent to have — and keep having, and actually use — the newest Sprout Brain skills. Authored for the home agent; not a kid-facing activity.

How it works

  1. 1Fetch the latest skillsClones (or fast-forward pulls) the Sprout team's sprout-brain repository into a local cache over HTTPS — no auth needed.
  2. 2Install into your coding agentCopies every Sprout Brain skill into ~/.claude/skills and/or ~/.codex/skills, backing up any existing versions first; unrelated skills are left untouched.
  3. 3Learn and remember themReads each skill plus the repo's llms.md and records what they do and when to use them into your agent's own persistent memory.
  4. 4Keep them current dailySchedules a local daily refresh (launchd on macOS, cron on Linux) that re-runs the install so your skills stay up to date automatically, without duplicating the job.

Inputs

Target coding agent(s)

Which local coding agent(s) to install into. Accepts `claude` (Claude Code → ~/.claude/skills), `codex` (Codex → ~/.codex/skills), or `all` (both). Ask the user which they use; if unspecified or unsure, use `all`.

target

Which skills (optional)

Optional filter for which Sprout Brain skills to install: a comma-separated list of skill folder names (e.g. `sprout-solutions-architect`). Most people want all of them, so leave blank to install every skill — that is the normal choice. Users won't know the folder names up front; the available names live in the repo's `llms.md`, so after cloning the agent can read it and offer the specific options if the user wants to pick a subset.
