Gate on identity questions to the user. Before any "who is X?" (or role / relationship question) reaches the user, exhaust the brain's lookup chain: think → search + page read → mounted sources → timeline/graph → web. If escalation survives the chain, ask WITH a hypothesis, never a bare unknown. Also owns the no-placeholders-at-ingest rule: pages created during bulk ingestion get their relationship/role resolved immediately.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-before-asking' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-before-asking' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named resolve-before-asking already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '001c8c39e84d726e9bb6ecbae053458c970d5af3' -- 'skills/resolve-before-asking' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/resolve-before-asking' ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-before-asking' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'resolve-before-asking' ~/.claude/skills/'resolve-before-asking' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
