Tips and tricks: how are you using the REST API or CLI?
I've noticed more people using second-brain in ways I didn't expect when I created it, and I want to record that somewhere.
This thread is for sharing how you actually use the REST API or CLI in your daily routines. I’m not looking for the obvious tips from the README, but rather the workflows you've created, the scripts you're running, and the things that turned out to be more helpful than you thought.
I'll start:
`GET /recall` is the one I frequently use in scripts. It performs the same semantic search as the MCP tool, so you get meaning-based results without needing an MCP client set up. I use it to gather relevant information before running an automated task, which keeps the LLM call focused instead of relying on a cold start.
I have a GitHub Action that activates every time a PR merges. It captures the PR title, description, author, and commit messages directly into second-brain using brain remember. There's no manual effort needed. The project's development history builds up automatically in memory.
Here's the workflow file if you want to adapt it for your own repo
What are you doing with it? It doesn't have to be complex. Even a simple one-liner that saves you time is worth sharing.
