Logseq Brain

Persistent memory for Claude using a dedicated Logseq graph. Save and load project context, decisions, and progress across sessions and devices.

Overview

This plugin turns a Logseq graph into Claude's external brain. Claude can read from and write to the graph, storing project plans, decisions, implementation details, and session logs. Because Logseq syncs across devices, your Claude context travels with you — start a task on your desktop, continue on your notebook.

Install

Logseq Brain ships through the skillsmith marketplace.

Cowork (Desktop App)

1. Create a new Logseq graph called "ClaudeBrain" (or any name you prefer).
2. Install this plugin in Claude (accept the .plugin file).
3. Say "init brain" — Claude will ask you to select the graph folder.
4. Say "init brain project MyProject" to add your first project.

Setup

After installing, create a Logseq graph (e.g. "ClaudeBrain") and tell the plugin where to find it. Pick one:

• Environment variable: export LOGSEQ_BRAIN_PATH=/path/to/ClaudeBrain
• Config file: create .brain-config.json in the plugin root with {"graphPath": "/path/to/ClaudeBrain"}
• Just tell Claude the path when prompted

Then say "init brain" to set up the graph structure, and "init brain project MyProject" to add your first project.

Skills

brain-init — Set up the graph for the first time, or add a new project.

• "init brain" — creates the graph structure (Index, Meta, Decisions pages)
• "init brain project MyProject" — adds a new project page

brain-load — Load project context into the current session.

• "load MyProject" — loads the project context (brief mode by default)
• "load MyProject full" — loads everything including decisions, implementation, linked tasks
• "load brain" — loads a high-level overview of all projects
• "what do we know about strategy pattern" — searches across the graph

brain-save — Save the current session's work to the graph.

• "save to brain" — saves decisions, progress, and plans from this session
• "save progress" — same as above
• "remember this" — save specific information
• Automatically detects multi-project sessions and Jira task context
• Updates Meta.md when new user preferences are discovered

brain-status — Quick dashboard of all projects.

• "brain status" — shows all projects with status, last activity, current focus
• "show projects" — same as above
• Flags stale projects that haven't been updated recently

Journey Log

Every brain operation (init / load / save / status / search) leaves a one-line bullet in today's journal under ## Activity — a low-cost audit trail of what Claude did, when. Disable by adding "journeyLog": false to .brain-config.json.
