What is copy-brain?
The copy-brain developer tool is a standout framework designed for Openclaw Skills developers who want to map out decision trees of domain experts. Instead of simply replicating writing style or superficial tone, it reverse-engineers the strategic views, heuristics, and analytical models of notable figures. This tool allows developers to establish highly specialized reasoning agents tailored to specific real-world tasks.
By building on top of this framework, agents can process new, unseen dilemmas and suggest actions that align with the logical paths of specified industry leaders. The compiled outcomes are exported as reusable, structured Markdown assets that serve as portable cognitive blueprints.
copy-brain Use Cases
- Simulating high-stakes venture capital or technology decisions using the mental frameworks of prominent industry leaders.
- Evaluating policy decisions or market positioning strategies through the public reasoning of historical or current specialists.
- Running automated editorial brainstorming boards backed by the critical perspectives of distinct public figures.
- Creating highly context-aware advisory personas that can be saved, customized, and recalled across automated developer workflows.
How copy-brain Works
- Persona Discovery: Scans local directories for preexisting target profiles to decide whether to load an existing cognitive file or start a new collection.
- Dependency & API Verification: Evaluates system environment variables to coordinate which premium crawling tools are active and ready.
- Initial Context Alignment: Executes an initial general search using standard or advanced search queries to outline biography highlights and prompt the user to define a target scenario.
- Broad Semantic Crawling: Uses highly specialized scraping tools to query original social platforms and editorial outlets for first-hand, high-fidelity writings.
- Blueprint Synthesis: Maps collected heuristics directly into a localized template and saves the final product as a ready-to-use markdown skill file.
copy-brain Setup
To configure this utility within your local workspace, follow these straightforward steps:
- Move to the skill directory:
cd <SKILL_DIR>
- Set up the Python prerequisites:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Export your credentials to unlock external crawling functionality (recommended but optional):
# macOS / Linux
export TAVILY_API_KEY="your_key"
export SCRAPEBADGER_API_KEY="your_key"
export REDFOX_API_KEY="your_key"
# Windows PowerShell
$env:TAVILY_API_KEY="your_key"
$env:SCRAPEBADGER_API_KEY="your_key"
$env:REDFOX_API_KEY="your_key"
- Run the validation checks to verify credentials and ensure system readiness:
python scripts/check_keys.py
copy-brain Data Schema & Taxonomy
The copy-brain architecture relies on specific environment parameters, localized crawling scripts, and standardized Markdown output templates.
Required and Optional Environments
| Service | Variable Name | Data Capture Range |
|---|---|---|
| Tavily | TAVILY_API_KEY |
Fallback web and historical searches |
| ScrapeBadger | SCRAPEBADGER_API_KEY |
Raw posts and user profile insights from X (Twitter) |
| RedFox | REDFOX_API_KEY |
Articles, media, and long-form Chinese-language channels |
Target File Schema
All structured cognitive profiles are compiled and exported directly to this destination directory:
<SKILL_DIR>/output/{people_name_slug}-{scenario_slug}.md
These output assets are pre-configured with active frontmatter variables, ensuring they can be imported straight into compatible Openclaw Skills automated engines.
copy-brain Advanced Features
- Structured Multi-API Fallback Routing: Intelligently toggles between default internal search systems and specific social platform APIs dynamically based on configuration.
- No-Clutter Intermediate Pipelines: Bypasses local JSON storage for temporary crawler responses, rendering live structures directly inside terminal buffers to avoid directory pollution.
- Modular Blueprint Exporting: Generates standardized, portable Markdown assets that can instantly act as standalone, specialized decision components for adjacent Openclaw Skills workflows.
- Pinyin and English Slugification: Automatically formats user profiles into predictable, clean file paths to streamline system integration.
