Use ExtraBrain Skills With Claude Code And Codex

ExtraBrain Skills teach your AI agent when and how to use ExtraBrain. The ExtraBrain CLI connects the agent to the desktop app, so you can work with saved session context from Claude Code or Codex.

Set Up Agent Skills

1. Open Settings → Agent Skills in ExtraBrain.
2. Check the Node.js (npx), ExtraBrain CLI, and Skills installation status.
3. Use the available Install or Update controls. Store builds show manual installation instructions for Terminal or PowerShell; follow the commands displayed by your app.
4. Choose your coding agents when the skills installer asks.
5. Enable CLI access and keep ExtraBrain open.
6. Use Check again to confirm setup.

CLI access has its own control; enabling an MCP connection is a separate workflow. Your agent uses its own provider account and permissions.

Try A Session Review

Paste this into your agent:

Use the ExtraBrain skills to summarize my latest completed ExtraBrain session and list the action items I committed to.

You can also ask it to find relevant saved conversations. Review the result against the session, especially owners, dates, and commitments.

Use The CLI Directly

The CLI guide covers checking capabilities, importing reference documents, searching sessions, and exporting session data. Supported operations depend on your installed app and CLI versions.

Session context read by an external agent can be sent to that agent’s AI provider. Review its permissions and data settings alongside ExtraBrain data handling. Turn off CLI access when you no longer want agents to connect through it.
