HERMES AGENT HAS A SECOND BRAIN. 1,100+ KNOWLEDGE FILES.... AUTO-LINKED. SELF-IMPROVING. GROWING EVERY NIGHT. THIS IS THE OBSIDIAN GRAPH BEHIND IT. every dot = one knowledge file (markdown) every line = one wiki-link between files every color = one category (skills, notes, decisions, sources, entities) HOW IT BUILDS ITSELF: Hermes ships with a bundled LLM Wiki skill. based on Andrej Karpathy's pattern. unlike RAG (rediscovers knowledge from scratch every query), the wiki compiles knowledge once and keeps it current. when you feed the agent a source: → it reads the content → writes a structured markdown page → auto-links to every related existing page → flags contradictions with previous entries → updates all affected pages one source in. multiple connections created. the graph grows denser with every entry. WHAT FEEDS THE WIKI: → articles and URLs you find interesting → meeting transcripts → PDF documents and research papers → conversation history from Hermes sessions → Claude Code and Codex session history → Slack logs, email threads, saved notes → YouTube transcripts → raw text dropped into a _raw/ folder the obsidian-wiki package supports multi-agent ingest from Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Pi, Windsurf, and ChatGPT exports. install: pip install obsidian-wiki obsidian-wiki setup --vault ~/wiki AUTOMATE THE GROWTH: set cron jobs to feed the wiki overnight: "every day at 9am, check for new meetings. ingest transcripts into the wiki." "every week, check arXiv for new papers in [niche]. summarize and file into the wiki." "every day, ingest today's Hermes sessions into the wiki under session-history." month 1: 50 entries. scattered. month 3: 300+ entries. cross-referenced. month 6: 1,000+ entries. the agent surfaces patterns you never searched for. WHY OBSIDIAN: the wiki is plain markdown files. no database. no lock-in. open it in Obsidian for graph view: → nodes show knowledge density → links show how ideas connect → clusters reveal your strongest domains → orphan nodes reveal gaps Hermes writes from a VPS. Obsidian reads on your laptop. obsidian-headless syncs without a GUI. agent writes from the server, you browse on your device. FOUR MEMORY LAYERS: Layer 1: memory.md + user.md (~2,200 + 1,375 chars. short-term.) Layer 2: SQLite with FTS5 (full session transcripts. searchable.) Layer 3: external providers (Mem0, SuperMemory, Honcho. optional.) Layer 4: Obsidian wiki via LLM Wiki skill (unlimited. compounding. the long-term brain.) layers 1-3 handle memory. layer 4 handles knowledge. the graph in this post is layer 4. SETUP: set in Desktop app, Dashboard, or config.yaml: WIKI_PATH=~/wiki OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=~/wiki first run: Hermes asks for your domain. answer with your niche. the skill builds SCHEMA.md with tag taxonomy. after that: "index this into my wiki: [URL or text]" the wiki grows. the graph densifies. the agent gets smarter because the knowledge base got smarter. full 15 levels breakdown in the article 👇show more

BUILD KARPATHY'S SECOND BRAIN WITH CLAUDE FABLE 5 +... OBSIDIAN Andrej Karpathy (openai co-founder) shared an architecture that turns Claude into a persistent second brain instead of a basic chat window how it works: > you point Claude Code at an Obsidian vault folder > you drop articles, PDFs, or video transcripts into raw folders > Claude reads the files, updates topic summaries, and cross-references everything > the knowledge base compounds like interest instead of resetting on every new chat the setup is simple: > install and create a local vault directory > open the directory in Claude Code and paste Karpathy's wiki prompt: > > let the agent generate raw, wiki, and CLAUDE.md schema directories > drop any text file into raw and tell the model to ingest it > ask questions across the whole vault and query compiled summaries this eliminates rag database overhead and keeps your local vault organized how do you manage your local knowledge base?show more

HE BUILT A 100% PRIVATE SECOND BRAIN IN OBSIDIAN... TO AUTOMATE HIS RESEARCH USING HERMES AGENT AND NOTEBOOKLM He visualizes his entire knowledge graph on-premise without paying for cloud subscriptions By connecting Hermes Agent and NotebookLM, developers can index hundreds of documents and generate content locally Four components of this local knowledge architecture: 1. Memory layer - set up an Obsidian PARA vault to store markdown notes and profiles 2. Agent layer - connect Hermes Agent to write files and run background scripts 3. Synthesis layer - use NotebookLM to create structured overviews from raw transcripts 4. Automation layer - trigger cron tasks to synchronize files and calendar standups The setup saves over $4,000 annually while keeping all private files offline Get the full step-by-step configuration guide and setup commands in the article below ↓show more

I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this... yet Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain. You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets. Here's the whole thing: > Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code > Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it > Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it > Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this" > Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.

LLM Knowledge Base → Slides When Andrej Karpathy shared... his LLM Knowledge Base setup, many were wondering how to generate more visual forms of the wiki. There are many options, but I think Gamma is one of the best at producing high-quality, rich presentations. To showcase this, I just built a pipeline that turns my AI papers wiki (1K+ papers across 20 AI agent topics) into polished slide presentations using Gamma. The flow: Obsidian vault → Gamma MCP → embedded preview in my dashboard. I give one command to my agent, which pulls the top papers from each topic (via the wiki), feeds them to Gamma, and renders the presentation inline. The Gamma connector for Claude is a great choice for generating beautiful and professional slides. Easy to use. Go to your Claude instance and add the official Gamma connector. That's it! Claude Code will now have access to all the necessary MCP tools for generating slides. I use the Claude Agent SDK for my agent orchestrator, so I use the official Gamma MCP tools and embed the generated slides in an iframe via my artifact preview. See the clip below for an example.show more

I just built my own wiki generator plugin for... my agents. My agents can now generate wikis for anything I ask. One of my favorite wikis is called PaperWiki. This is a great example of what Andrej Karpathy describes. It uses obsidian vaults to organize papers, retrieve LLM-generated summaries, diagrams, and other advanced views for paper exploration. When Obsidian UI is not enough, I use my own artifact generator inside my agent orchestrator (see clip for example). This allows my agents to build any kind of view or exploration feature that I need. The papers are all curated with automations and several rules/patterns I have manually built over the years. On the surface, this looks basic. But behind the scenes, there are advanced search capabilities, connections, metadata, derived data, and other interesting bits of information that are extremely useful for my research agents. This is mostly built for agents. The artifact preview is just a high-level way to validate and quickly assess the quality of the wiki, suggest improvements, and it's also great for research. I use tobi lutke's qmd for all search capabilities. Everything is markdown. The summaries and even the diagrams. The wiki updates on its own based on several automations I have optimized over the past couple of weeks. The wiki grows and self-improves based on several requirements important for my research use cases. This is as personalized as it gets. There is nothing like it out there. And I use my research expertise to continue improving it over time. This is a vanilla wiki. There are so many things I want to build on top of this. Different aggregations, views, artifacts, etc. All to help automate more of my research work and accelerate productivity. I think the biggest leverage here is how powerful this could be for discovery and experimentation. One of my goals is to use it to find deeper connections and insights that would otherwise elude the top human researchers and use those to generate interesting new hypotheses and research experiments. That way, my agents can use autoresearch to explore research ideas at the frontier. Stay tuned for more.show more

Karpathy method + Claude Code reading your whole Obsidian... vault is the smartest second brain on earth. The method is simple and brutal. If you can’t build a thing from scratch, you don’t know it. Tutorials are fake learning and your brain deletes them in 3 days. Most people ignore this. They build a second brain that just sits there, folders of notes nobody reopens, dead text. Point Claude Code at the vault and it wakes up. 5,000 notes, one mind. It reads all of it and answers in your own words and your own proofs, not a model’s guess. Then the loop closes. Want to understand neural nets? Skip the 3-hour video and ask Claude Code to build a tiny one. 200 lines from scratch. Watch it train, break a layer, watch it fail, fix it. It clicks in 20 minutes instead of 3 weeks. The second it lands the note gets written. One idea per file, linked to 10 others, dropped into the vault while the memory is still hot. Now it compounds. Month 1: is 60 notes. Month 6 is 900. Every new note pulls in old ones, so you ask anything and the answer comes from your brain, not the internet. Before: 40 tabs, 6 half read PDF, 0 retained. After: build it once, own it for life. Setup takes 4 minutes. Plain text, no lock-in. A second brain nobody reads is a graveyard. Yours just started thinking.show more

Sharing my new skill! It keeps track of high-signal... X accounts for top AI news, papers, projects, etc. Total gamechanger for me. Built with X MCP tools. Give your agent the skill and tell it to generate the artifact with top stories. Works for Codex, Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, or whatever you use. 3 steps: 1. Set up X MCP - X API: 2. Install skill here: 3. Run prompt: "Use the x-agent-intelligence skill to build a self-contained local feed from my X MCP connection; ask for my source handles if needed, save feed.html, and validate it." It should generate a nice, beautiful HTML artifact like the one shown in the clip. You can tune it however you want. You can then set a schedule/automation to do this daily or whatever cadence you prefer. I have it every 4 hours. You will need to curate the X accounts yourself, but I have shared a few good ones under the assets. You can ask your agent to tune it to however you like. I have also shared my personal feed with our community here: I understand if it gets tricky to set up. Please reach out to me in the community forum. I plan to do a little tutorial or live session soon to help others reproduce the process. You can also store the feed as a wiki, as I have in my own implementation, but that's optional. If you encounter any issues or have ideas on how to improve it, please open a PR.show more

1 Neural Network + Obsidian + Karpathy’s 1-file method... = the most unhinged second brain build of 2026. It remembers everything you’ve ever done, and it costs $0 on top of what you already pay. The base is Karpathy’s append and review: 1 giant note, new thoughts stack on top, old ones sink, every few days you reread and pull the survivors back up. No folders, no tags, no plugins the rereading IS the system, because review is what turns storage into thinking. The flaw: past 10,000 lines, no human rereads anything. That’s where the neural network takes over. You keep the note in Obsidian 1 vault, everything dumps to the top: ideas, links, meeting fragments, half-thoughts. You never organize, you only dump. It all lives as plain markdown on your own disk, and that detail is the whole trick. Because now you point Claude Code at the vault folder, and it reads every line you’ve ever written. “What did I think about pricing in March.” “Find the 3 ideas I keep circling.” “What did I drop that deserves a second look.” It answers from YOUR notes, with quotes, in 15 seconds. Then once a week, 1 prompt closes the loop: read the last 7 days, surface the 5 entries worth pulling back up, flag anything that contradicts what I wrote a month ago. The model does the sinking and surfacing Karpathy did by hand, and the note stays alive instead of turning into a graveyard. Week 1 feels like nothing. Week 4 you hit the first “I already solved this in January.” Month 3 you consult your past self more than Google. Most second brains die in 11 days under 40 plugins and 200 folders. This one is 1 file and a loop, and it compounds because dumping takes 0 discipline. Notion stores what you thought. This thing argues back.show more

I stack Hermes agents with OpenClaw for financial research,... and the results should be illegal. I track every politician, insider trader, and I know EXACTLY what moves they're making. If you can't beat them, join them. The exact playbook for printing money from insider trading (copy me): Requirements: • OpenClaw setup • Hermes Agent setup Step 1. Define your research thesis Before you send any prompts to either tool, you'll need to clarify exactly what you're trying to research. This could be: a specific industry, asset class, market sector, and so on. Examples: • Tracking smart money buys in the semiconductor industry • Tracking smart money buys in crypto • Tracking a specific politician and where they're bidding (like Nancy Pelosi) Step 2. Deploy Hermes agents to track the smart money (in parallel) Hermes is your data layer. Spin up 5 agents at the same time, each with one job: Agent 1: Track every politician's disclosed trades from the last 30 days (House and Senate stock disclosures) Agent 2: Pull insider transactions (Form 4 filings, CEO/CFO buys and sells) Agent 3: Scrape X sentiment from top 50 accounts on the topic Agent 4: Pull on-chain data (whale wallets, TVL, exchange flows) *if applicable* Agent 5: Monitor news, regulatory filings, and announcements from the last 30 days Each agent runs independently. You're not waiting for one to finish before the next starts. Step 3. Consolidate the output Once your Hermes agents finish, dump every output into a single document. (don't filter or summarize) - you want OpenClaw to see the raw data. Step 4. Feed it all into OpenClaw Open OpenClaw and paste the consolidated research file with this prompt: "Act as an elite macro analyst. Below is raw data gathered from multiple sources on [thesis], including politician disclosures and insider transactions. Synthesize the findings, identify the strongest signals and contradictions, flag any unusual smart-money activity, and give me a clear directional view with conviction levels. Flag any data gaps that need follow-up." OpenClaw will go deep, run its own reasoning chain, and produce a synthesized report. Done. Now you're literally tapping into the financial data they don't want you to see (it's all public - you just had to find it). Make sure to save this playbook so you don't lose it!show more

This Chinese guy built a Second Brain in Obsidian... and every morning gets 3 trading ideas that brought him $180,000 in 6 months. Inside he runs a pipeline of 6 workflows on N8N that automatically pulls every read article, listened podcast, and voice note into a shared Obsidian vault, and a neural network analyst every morning at 6:00 finds connections between the fresh and the old and puts the 3 strongest trading ideas for the day into the inbox. No analytics desk, no Bloomberg terminal, no Telegram chats with traders. Just a Mac Mini by the wall, an iPhone in the pocket, and 1 local Obsidian vault. And traditional quant funds keep entire teams of 8 people on salary for the same flow of insights, while his expenses are only subscriptions to Readwise, Whisper API, and N8N hosting. 6 pipelines process about 200 sources a day and close the monthly API bill at about $120. The Mac Mini itself stores the entire vault and keeps the neural network analyst running 24/7, and from the iPhone the owner drops any idea he hears on the go into a Telegram bot, and it lands in the vault inbox in just 30 seconds. The starting instruction that sits in the VAULT.md file at the root of his vault looks like this: "you are the AI analyst of a solo trader. you read his vault every morning at 6:00, find connections between fresh and old notes, and deliver 3 trading ideas he can verify in the hour before the market opens. pipelines: // Reader (pulls every article and highlight from Readwise, Twitter bookmarks, and Kindle into /notes) // Listener (transcribes podcasts through Airr and voice notes through Whisper, puts them in /notes) // Catcher (accepts any message from the Telegram bot and writes it to /inbox with a timestamp) // Connector (every night reads across the entire vault and updates the connection graph between 4,000 notes) // Briefer (at 6:00 AM writes a brief: 3 trading ideas for today plus the emerging thesis of the week, puts it in /inbox) // Mobile (lives in the iPhone, answers any question about the vault by voice, and confirms alerts while the owner is on the go). you wake the owner with a push notification only when a fresh note contradicts his active thesis or when 1 of the 3 morning ideas has a confidence score above 90%." This instruction immediately sets the role for the system and the limits of its autonomy. It knows it is supposed to connect new with old on its own. It knows it is supposed to prepare 3 trading ideas every morning on its own. It knows it connects the live trader only when a thesis is contradicted or an ultra-confident idea appears. → Reader pulls about 80 articles and highlights a day from Readwise, Twitter, and Kindle → Listener transcribes 4 to 6 podcasts a week through Airr and Whisper → Catcher intercepts all voice and text ideas through the Telegram bot, averaging 15 to 20 a day → Connector updates the connection graph between 4,000 notes every night, adding 25 to 30 new edges → Briefer puts a fresh brief with 3 trading ideas and the emerging thesis into the inbox at exactly 6:00 → Mobile answers any question about the vault by voice and confirms alerts right from the iPhone And only when a new note contradicts his active thesis or 1 of the ideas breaks 90% confidence does the orchestrator raise the owner with a push notification. And when the trader at that moment is driving to the gym or eating breakfast, the Mobile agent in his iPhone answers any quick question about the vault by voice: what he wrote about this ticker last week, which 3 sources support the idea of long NVDA, and what counter-thesis already sits in his notes. The trader makes the decision and sends the order before New York opens. The fresh brief from last Monday looks like this: "reader: 78 materials added over the weekend, 11 of them about semiconductors, 4 about energy, 3 about biotech. passing to connector." "connector: 27 new connections found between fresh materials and the vault, the strongest one is that the Goldman report from Wednesday matches the NVDA thesis you wrote 3 weeks ago." "briefer: 3 trading ideas for today: long NVDA (confidence 0.84), short Tesla at the close of the quarterly report (0.71), watch URI (0.62). emerging thesis of the week: the market is underpricing capex on data centers." "alert: your fresh note about long-term risk in semis contradicts the NVDA thesis. sending for review." In his work setup there is no cloud server, no team of analysts, and not even a Bloomberg subscription. At home sits a Mac Mini with a local Obsidian vault, on top run 6 N8N pipelines and a neural network analyst, and the same vault mirrors to a secure terminal on the iPhone. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest solo trading setup on a second brain: $120 a month on the API, about $30,000 a month into the account, and between them 6 pipelines, 4,000 connected notes, and 1 iPhone in the pocket.show more

THIS GUY JUST REBUILT A $35,000 ANIMATED SITE FOR... $12. IF YOU RUN A WEB STUDIO, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY KEEP SCROLLING. Every agency billing $100-149/hr is selling you five departments wearing one invoice. Here’s each one - collapsed into a single agentic session. LAYER 1 - THE CONCEPT ROOM (Claude) Reads the brief, pulls references, and scripts the scroll: what the visitor feels at second 3, second 15, second 40. → Used to be a strategist and a wall of mood boards. Now it’s a conversation. LAYER 2 - THE MOTION STUDIO (Higgsfield) Cinematic clips from 30+ generative models - hero shots, transitions, ambient loops - all matched to the story from Layer 1. → Used to be a motion artist on retainer. Now it’s a prompt. LAYER 3 - THE DEV TEAM (Claude Code) Scaffolds the site, writes the GSAP ScrollTrigger timelines and Lenis smooth-scroll, extracts frames, optimizes every asset. → A full scroll-driven build with zero hand-coded keyframes. LAYER 4 - THE DESIGN DEPT (baked-in cinematic layer) Six effects, zero config: film grain, particles, vignette, glass cards, color tints, scroll pacing. → The polish that justified the invoice - now it ships by default. LAYER 5 - THE QA PASS (Claude) Checks load speed, mobile breakpoints, and whether the scroll actually lands - then rewrites whatever doesn’t. → Used to be a client call and a revision cycle. Now it’s one more turn in the same session. Five departments. One operator. One pass. A strategist, a motion artist, a developer, a designer, and a QA lead - weeks of handoffs - now run in a single session. For a Claude subscription and a few dollars of Higgsfield credits. The studio was never selling talent. It was selling overhead. And the overhead just became five layers.

This new skill for Hermes Agent wipes your personal... data off hundreds of broker sites for free, hands-off. It's called Unbroker. I’ve been testing it this week and it's incredible. Here is the full setup: 1. Install it by typing: hermes skills install official/security/unbroker 2. Connect browser automation: Wire up Browserbase so the agent can drive real broker opt-out forms. 3. Do the intake: Give consent, then feed it your info. 4. Fire one prompt: "Use the unbroker skill to remove my data from data brokers. Here is my consent. Run it hands-off." Hundreds of data brokers publish your name, addresses, phone, email, even your relatives. Anyone can find where you live in about ten seconds. The law says brokers have to delete your data if you ask. There's just no easy bulk button for it. Services charge $100’s a year to file the exact requests you could submit yourself for free. Unbroker does the same thing locally, and it's free. It fans out sub-agents, scans every broker site, drafts or sends opt-out emails, and only comes back to you for the ones that need a human. The best part is it loops. Brokers re-list you over time, so it schedules rechecks and re-files on its own. Set it once, it keeps working. One skill, one prompt, dozens of broker sites handled.show more

Another WTF moment. A developer just open-sourced a coding... agent harness that boots 245x faster than Claude Code. It's called jcode. You launch it and the first frame renders in 14 milliseconds. Claude Code takes 3,436. One active session uses 27.8 MB of RAM. Claude Code uses 386.6. Run ten sessions in parallel and jcode holds at 117 MB while OpenCode swells to 3.2 GB. Each agent has a semantic memory graph instead of a scratchpad. Every turn gets embedded as a vector. The graph is queried on every turn for related memories, and a sideagent verifies the hits before injecting them into context. Consolidation runs in the background to check for stale or conflicting facts. No manual /remember calls. No token burn on lookup tools. The provider list is 30+ deep. Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Azure, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Perplexity, Fireworks, Ollama, LM Studio, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you point it at. Ran out of tokens on your first ChatGPT Pro sub? /account swaps to the second. Then there's Swarm. Spawn two agents in the same repo and the server manages them. When agent A edits a file agent B has been reading, agent B gets pinged and can check the diff. Agents can DM each other, broadcast to the room, or spawn their own worker teams for parallel tasks. Groups, channels, and completion statuses are handled automatically. The UI has live side panels that render mermaid diagrams inline. To make it fast, the author wrote a Rust mermaid renderer 1800x faster than the JavaScript one, then wrote a custom terminal called Handterm because no existing terminal could do smooth partial-line scrolling. Self-dev mode is where it gets wild. Tell your agent to enter self-dev and it starts editing jcode's own source code, rebuilds the binary, reloads it live, and keeps working across your existing sessions. You can also resume broken sessions from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or pi directly inside jcode.

your AI agent can watch any video now -... paste a URL and it sees every frame, hears every word, all for free 🤯 bradautomates/claude-video gives Claude the ability to watch YouTube, Loom, TikTok, local files - anything yt-dlp supports what people actually use it for: → analyze a competitor launch - what hook, what visuals, what structure → debug from a screen recording - Claude reads the exact frame where it breaks → summarize a 49-min talk in 30 seconds with frame-accurate timestamps → strip the hype from product videos - "what's actually new, skip the pitch" the mechanism: yt-dlp pulls free captions first (zero cost). ffmpeg extracts frames at scene-aware intervals - not uniform sampling, so you don't waste tokens on 12 identical frames of the same slide. Claude reads every frame as an image with timestamp markers. Groq Whisper only kicks in when a video has no caption track how to set up (3 min): > claude code: /plugin marketplace add bradautomates/claude-video then /plugin install watch@claude-video > or npx skills add bradautomates/claude-video -g for codex, cursor, gemini cli > dependencies auto-install on macOS via brew two caveats: free captions cover most but not all videos. past 10 min use --start/--end for focused sections or the token-burner mode for full coverage your buddy still watches every tutorial at 2x speed taking manual notes. you paste a URL and your agent extracts the substance in seconds for $0show more

this is the worst local ai will ever be.... it only gets better from here. if you are not expanding your mind with these small models you are missing what's happening right now 99 percent tool call success rate. when steered well with the right skills and a framework like hermes agent the node becomes a cognition layer. not a chatbot. not a toy. an extension of how you think. i was cranking this node at 35 to 50 tok/s all day on personal experiments and now after all the work is done qwen 3.5 9B is iterating on its own code. the game it created. fixing its own bugs autonomously. and the part you should probably not miss is that all of this is happening on a RTX 3060. not an H100. not an A100. the card most of you have sitting in a drawer right now. if you just open that drawer and put that intelligence to work every tensor core on that card should be running for you. your work. your experiments. your thinking. you all have it but because nobody told you what this hardware can actually do in 2026 you never tried. the day it unlocks is the day you test your workload, understand the tradeoffs, debug the loops, and then decide if you need to scale the hardware. there is no point buying 3 mac studios when things done well you can squeeze a similar level of intelligence from 9B compared to 70B. but only when you create the right environment for your model through the right harness. and let me tell you i have tried claude code as a local harness. i have tried opencode. i have tried various others. somehow i landed on hermes agent and never left. there is something magical going on at Nous Research. the tool call parsers, the skills system, the way it handles small models natively. nothing else comes close for local inference. own your cognition. your AI. your agent. your prompts. your experiments. why give them away for free. those are who you are and they don't belong on someone else's servers being monitored. just give it a shot with your existing hardware. you run into a problem the community will help you. and if you are migrating from openclaw to hermes i will personally help you make the switch.show more
