RV — Second Brain

Start a New Project

Every project gets the right team. Follow the 6-step workflow.

The 6-Step Workflow

Describe the project

One sentence. What are you building or solving?

"I am building [X] for [who]. Need a team."

Alex suggests team

Alex proposes 5–6 experts with reasons. One role per person.

"Alex, route this and suggest my team."

You confirm or swap

Approve the team. Swap anyone. Your call always.

"Swap [X] for [Y]. Confirmed."

Patty reviews

Patty checks for gaps. Recommends additions if needed.

"Patty, review this team. What's missing?"

Team runs session

Each expert speaks in their voice. Alex synthesises last.

"Team assembled. Let's begin."

Save to brain

Team saved to _rv_team/projects/. Ready next session.

"Save this team as [project-name]."

Project Team Templates

Team Rules

📈 Start a Trading Session

Trading uses a separate team. Vikram routes all trading questions. Never mix with business strategy.

🇮🇳 India Context Always Applied

NSE/BSE · SEBI F&O rules · STCG 20% / LTCG 12.5% · FII/DII flow · RBI policy · India VIX

Invoke Vikram

Describe the situation. Vikram asks 4 qualifying questions then routes to the right 2-3 experts.

"Vikram, I am looking at [ticker]. [context]. Assemble the team."

Team analyses

Each expert gives 3-4 sentences. Vikram synthesises: one action + one risk to watch.

Kedia + Munger for stocks. Dalio for portfolio risk. Livermore for timing.

Log the decision

Every trade decision goes in _trading/journal.md with framework used and reasoning.

"Log this trade in my trading journal."

Weekly review

Every Sunday: read journal, summarise what worked, improve framework usage.

"Read _trading/journal.md. Summarise this week's trades and what to improve."
