Dual-Brain Skill

# Dual-Brain Skill

**What it does:** Provides cognitive diversity by automatically generating perspectives from a secondary LLM (different from your primary model) for every user message.

For Agents

Before responding to any user message, check for a dual-brain perspective:

cat ~/.dual-brain/perspectives/{your-agent-id}-latest.md

If the file exists and contains a recent perspective (check timestamp in comment), consider it alongside your own reasoning. The perspective may highlight:

**Integration:**

**Example workflow:**

1. User sends message

2. Daemon intercepts, sends to secondary LLM (e.g., Kimi, GPT-4, Llama)

3. Secondary LLM generates 2-3 sentence perspective

4. Written to `~/.dual-brain/perspectives/{agent-id}-latest.md`

5. You (primary agent) read it before responding

6. You synthesize both perspectives into your answer

For Humans

**Setup:**

npm install -g openclaw-dual-brain
dual-brain setup    # Interactive configuration
dual-brain start    # Start daemon

**Providers:**

**Commands:**

**Config location:** `~/.dual-brain/config.json`

**Perspectives location:** `~/.dual-brain/perspectives/`

        Perspective Generated (2-3 sentences)

                    ↓
        Primary Agent reads & synthesizes
                    ↓
            Response to User

Benefits

Optional: Engram Integration

If Engram (semantic memory) is running on localhost:3400, perspectives are also stored as memories for long-term recall.
