# Brain research (the brain grows itself — with receipts) Open questions and thin notes don't have to wait for the human. Research them, verify, and work the findings in — every claim with a source. **Conventions:** `<vault>` = the vault path from the `Brain vault:` line in your global rules — **or, if there is no such line, the folder this session was started in**, when that folder holds a `CLAUDE.md` naming a vault mode. A shared company vault has no global line on purpose (its skills travel inside it), so falling back to `~/Brain` there would write into somebody's private vault. Only when neither exists does `~/Brain` apply. `python3` = your working python command (on most Windows machines `py -3`; the global rules name it). ## Steps 0. **Read `<vault>/CLAUDE.md` first.** Vault language, frontmatter schema, note anatomy, mode and the red line ("Claude gardens, it does not author") live there — and unless this session started inside the vault, none of it is in your context. No `CLAUDE.md`? Wrong path or unfinished setup: say so and stop. 1. **Pick targets:** the notes' "open → ask" markers, thin notes the human names, or the open questions from the last review. Confirm the list in one line before starting. 2. **Research:** web search for public facts (institutions, rules, deadlines, people in public roles); local files only within what the discovery consent covered. Prefer official sources. **No web tool in this session?** Then research means w
