Andrej Karpathy quietly shipped the best second brain idea in years not an app. a pattern. let an llm maintain a wiki of your notes. you dump sources, it reads them, links them, files them. knowledge compounds like interest. someone built it into a free claude code plugin. setup is two commands: claude plugin marketplace add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian claude plugin install claude-obsidian@agricidaniel-claude-obsidian then open obsidian, open claude code in the same folder, type /wiki. that's it. your notes are now queryable by claude and they get richer every time you read something. bookmark this. best thing you'll build this weekend.

Obsidian + Claude Code builds a real second brain in 17 minutes. Claude Code reads entire vault, connects notes & builds a knowledge graph of everything you've ever written. Bookmark it. This one actually works.

🚨 Yarchi just published an awesome guide on building an AI "second brain" using Claude and Obsidian Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki concept, the idea is to stop starting from a blank chat window and start building a compounding knowledge graph. Obsidian handles the local storage. Claude acts as the brain. I wrote down the condensed notes on how to wire them together: The Stack: → Install Obsidian (your free, local text storage) and Claude Desktop Pro (the engine that reads and writes files). The Bridge: → Install the "Local REST API" plugin in Obsidian, copy the key, and use Claude’s MCP framework to connect them (claude mcp add-json obsidian-vault...). The Context: → Ask Claude to interview you. Have it ask about your goals, projects, and working style, then save it all to a CLAUDE.md file so it never forgets who you are. The Structure: → Create specific project folders (Inputs, Process, Outputs, Feedback) and open them as isolated vaults so Claude stays focused on one job at a time. The Automation: → Save repeated workflows as markdown "skills" and use Claude's schedule tab to trigger daily vault maintenance. Voilà! You end up with an AI that organizes your files, summarizes your notes, and remembers your entire context. Full guide from Yarchi here ↓

This is one of the coolest open-source AI agent projects I've seen in a while: 'Understand Anything' It's a plugin for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode etc. that analyzes your codebase and turns it into a knowledge base that you can interact with. It explains the codebase to you, rather than showing you the structure. It seems like it's designed for code but I opened my Obsidian vault of podcast highlights in Claude Code, then ran /understand. The result is a knowledge graph that I can search of highlights from 888 podcast episodes and 144K lines of markdown text.

THIS GUY CONNECTED HIS AI AGENTS TO HIS OBSIDIAN AND BUILT A BRAIN THAT LEARNS ON ITS OWN. HERE'S HOW TO BUILD IT Obsidian is just markdown files sitting in a folder. That turns out to be the perfect memory for an AI agent, because an agent can read and write those files directly. He wired his agents into the vault so they pull context from it, do the work, and write what they learned back. The notes aren't the point. The loop is, and it gets sharper every cycle How to build it: 1. Point an agent at your vault. The fastest way, no plugins, no API keys: open a terminal and run npx obsidian-mcp /path/to/your/vault. That exposes your Obsidian folder to Claude as a tool it can read, search, and write to. Add it to your Claude Code or Cowork config and restart 2. Confirm it can see the brain. Ask it: "list the notes in my vault and summarize what's in them." If it reads them back, the connection is live. Now it starts every task with everything the vault already holds instead of from zero 3. Give each agent one job and a write-back rule. Tell it: "research this, then save what you found as a new note in /brain with links to related notes." One agent researches, one summarizes, one plans. Each writes its output back into the vault 4. Close the loop. Add one line to every agent's instructions: "read /brain before starting, write your result back when done." Now each task leaves the vault richer, and the next run reads that before it works. It compounds instead of resetting 5. You only steer. Review what the brain produces, point it at the next thing. The agents handle the reading, writing, and connecting The edge isn't better notes. It's a brain that feeds itself, so the work gets sharper every cycle instead of starting over Bookmark this

everyone's talking about building a second brain with claude code + obsidian right now. so i made a full video walkthrough showing exactly how to set it up from scratch. drop an article into a folder. claude code reads it, creates wiki pages, builds relationships between concepts, and links everything automatically. by 20 sources your wiki knows more about your domain than you can hold in your head. here's the full setup:

Claude Code feels completely different once you install this. Anthropic quietly released an official plugin called claude-code-setup and it basically turns Claude Code from “pretty good” into an actual AI dev environment. It scans your project and recommends: → hooks → skills → MCP servers → subagents → automations Then sets everything up step-by-step for you. Most people are using Claude Code completely vanilla… which is why their experience feels messy. The real power comes from the ecosystem around it. Install: /plugin install claude-code-setup@claude-plugins-official Bookmark this before you forget it.

Claude Code is now free to run. Most people still think you need a paid setup. Here’s the basic flow: → Install Claude Code with the official installer. → Create a free OpenRouter account. → Grab your API key. → Install Claude Code Router. → Point Claude Code to the local router. → Choose a free model with the :free suffix. → Run CCR code instead of normal Claude Code. → Check /status to confirm it works. You keep the Claude Code workflow. You just route it through a free model.

This beginner guide to Karpathy's LLM Wiki is one of the most useful AI videos i've shared this year Karpathy's idea: instead of asking AI questions every time, make it build you a permanent knowledge base that grows smarter over time > drop your documents into a folder > Claude reads them and builds a structured wiki in Obsidian > every time you add a new source, Claude Sonnet updates existing pages and links new ideas > ask complex questions - Claude Opus answers from the organized wiki, not raw files it's like having a researcher who never forgets and connects dots across everything you've ever given it full setup guide is in the video above

Noah Brier (Noah Brier) uses Claude Code as his second brain—it’s the coolest notetaking setup I’ve ever seen. He has Claude running on a server in his basement hooked up to a VPN. It stores, reads, and writes to thousands of notes in his Obsidian (Obsidian) vault. He does it all from his phone. I had him on the show to tell us exactly how he’s pulling this off. We get into: - The nuts and bolts of the Claude Code-Obsidian setup: Noah set up Claude Code on top of his Obsidian root directory, and he walked me through how he uses it to prep for an upcoming speech—creating a project folder, pulling in relevant research from his notes, saving transcripts from chats with other LLMs, and generating daily progress updates. - The “thinking partner” that lives inside Noah’s second brain: Noah points out that in the hype around AI’s ability to write, the fact that it can read is overlooked. That’s why he has an agent inside Claude Code with strict guardrails to stay in “thinking mode.” It logs his questions, tracks insights, and catches him up on research if he returns to a project after a few days away. - How Noah does deep work on his phone: Noah rigged a home server in his basement, put his Obsidian vault in it—and then runs Claude Code on top. Noah says that being able to think, write, research, and ship code from his phone has fundamentally changed the way he works. This episode of Every 📧’s AI & I is a must-watch for anyone curious about who wants to learn how to use Claude Code to build a true second brain. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:19 How you can do deep work on your phone: 00:04:28 Why Noah thinks Grok has the best voice AI: 00:06:14 The nuts and bolts of Noah’s Claude Code-Obsidian setup: 00:11:39 Using an agent in Claude Code as a “thinking partner”: 00:23:59 Noah’s Thomas’ English Muffin theory of AI: 00:35:07 The white space still left to explore in AI: 00:44:04 How Noah is preparing his kids for AI: 00:50:41 How he brought his Claude Code setup to mobile: 01:01:54

Obsidian Bases are better than Notion databases. Most people never use them because they're too technical. This Claude skill changes this: Bases automatically aggregate notes from your vault into a structured table. I have dozens of bases; the one in the video replaces the reference manager, for instance. Problem: Most struggle with setting them up. There's now a skill built by one of the Obsidian developers that runs inside Claude. The skill scans your vault and automatically generates the base. The hardest Obsidian feature to learn. Solved with one sentence.

You can build an AI second brain in 15 minutes. No coding experience needed. no $1000 course [Here is how you can do it in 5 mins:] Step 1: Download Claude Desktop. Step 2: Download Obsidian Desktop. Step 3: Create a new vault and start dropping .MD files into it. Step 4: Tell Claude Code to connect directly to your vault using Andrej Karpathy's prompt: That is it. Your entire knowledge base becomes searchable, connectable, and queryable by the most powerful AI model on earth. Every note you have ever written. Every idea you have ever captured. Every resource you have ever saved. Claude can now read all of it, find connections you missed, and surface insights from your own thinking that you forgot you had. Most people are using Claude as a search engine. The people building second brains with it are using it as an intelligence layer on top of everything they know. The gap between those two use cases is the gap between asking Google a question and having a research partner who has read everything you have ever written. Bookmark this. Build it tonight.

I’m not prompting Claude anymore - I’m building loops" in this interview he breaks down exactly how a system changes everything: - the memory and context features that turn Claude into a second brain - the knowledge architecture most users don't know Claude can build - the integration layer that connects Claude to your actual workflow - why typing one question at a time is the most expensive way to use Claude if you've been using Claude for months and still start every conversation from scratch with zero context, you don't have a Claude problem. you have a system problem instead of another show tonight, watch this make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed full guide in the article below
