Andrej Karpathy keeps his entire second brain in Obsidian 1 folder of plain text files, nothing else. Here’s the exact setup, free, that turns 1 vault into a brain you can actually query. Why most “second brains” die: Notion is a database you forget to open, ChatGPT memory wipes... itself after 30 messages, and both lock your notes inside their cloud. Karpathy rule is the opposite: your notes are the 1 dataset nobody else on earth has, so keep them in plain markdown, own them forever, and let the AI read them later. 3 phases. Phase 1 — Capture with 0 friction. Install Obsidian free, local, 1 hotkey to a daily note. Dump everything into it: ideas, links, quotes, 2-line thoughts, no folders, no tags, no system. Target is 5 notes a day. Phase 2 — Let the graph connect itself. Install Smart Connections and it runs embeddings on every note you’ve ever written, so 2 notes you wrote 4 months apart and never linked by hand suddenly surface as neighbors. That’s the fireworks in the 3D graph each burst is a cluster of ideas your brain forgot it owned. Phase 3 — Query your brain. Point Claude at the vault and ask: “What did I actually think about X across all my notes?” It answers from 1,200 of your own notes, not the internet your taste, your edge, your dataset. The realistic curve looks like this: Week 1 — 40 notes, graph looks empty, feels like a waste. Month 1 — 300 notes, first real cluster forms. Month 3 — 1,200 notes, and the embeddings start surfacing links you’d long forgotten. Month 6 — you stop googling your own past ideas and just ask the vault. Before — 9 tabs, 3 note apps, 0 memory. After — 1 folder, 1,200 notes, 1 brain that compounds. The gap between people who consume and people who compound isn’t talent, it’s architecture. You build your own life so choose the right path.show more

Obsidian + method Karpathy + Claude Code = a quantum second brain that talks back. Most second brains are graveyards you clip 300 articles, tag 80 notes, build a graph that looks like a galaxy, then never open it again. Karpathy fix is stupid simple: 1 file, append only, new thought on top, review by scrolling no folders, no tags, no 40-minute “PKM setup” videos. The capture layer is 1 Obsidian vault with 1 file called stream md, where every idea, quote and link lands in under 10 seconds, because anything slower and you quit by day 4. Once a week Claude Code reads the whole vault from the terminal with 1 prompt “find the 5 ideas I keep circling without noticing” and sees patterns across 6 months you can’t hold in working memory. Instead of searching keywords you ask questions like “what did I think about agent pricing in March,” and Claude greps 4,000 notes and quotes your own words back with file paths. Then the vault becomes context drafting a post, a pitch or a spec, Claude pulls in your past thinking instead of generic internet mush, and your output starts sounding like you, compressed. The first week feels pointless at 20 notes, month 1 brings the first “wait, I already solved this” moment, by month 3 Claude connects 2 notes written 70 days apart and that connection becomes your best post of the year, by month 6 you stop asking Google things you already answered. The whole setup costs $0 in software and 1 evening. Notion sells you a workspace, Obsidian gives you files, Claude gives them a voice. Everyone rents a second brain this one lives on your disk and grows. You wrote the notes, and now something finally reads them.

Obsidian just became the most dangerous folder on your computer, and Andrej Karpathy predicted it with 1 markdown file. His method is called append-and-review. He described it years ago and almost nobody listened: 1 single note, every thought appended to the top, reviewed on random scrolls. No tags, no folders, no Notion dashboards with 40 linked databases. The problem was always the same the note remembers, but it can't act. That changed the moment people pointed Claude Code at an Obsidian vault. Here's the setup that's quietly spreading: Part 1 — The vault becomes a database. Obsidian stores everything as plain markdown on your disk, which means Claude Code can read it like a codebase. You open a terminal inside the vault folder and your 2,000 notes turn into queryable memory. Part 2 — The CLAUDEmd file becomes the brain stem. One file at the root tells the agent who you are, what you're building, and how your notes are structured. From that point every session starts with full context instead of a blank chat window. Part 3 — Karpathy append log becomes fuel. You dump raw thoughts all day ideas, links, half-sentences. Then 1 command at night: review today's appends, extract action items, draft the 3 posts hiding in there, link them to existing notes. The messy log goes in, structured output comes out, and the vault rewrites itself while you sleep. Part 4 — Agents start living in your notes. People are running weekly reviews, content calendars, even market research as scheduled Claude Code runs over their vault. Your second brain stops being a graveyard of highlights and starts shipping. The honest math: setup takes about 90 minutes, the first week feels like overkill, and by day 30 you're sitting on a system where every note you've written in 5 years is working for you instead of rotting in a folder. Notion needed a server, a subscription and your data on someone else's machine. Obsidian needed a text file and now the text file has an employee.

Claude Code + Obsidian + 1 free GitHub skill = unlimited memory. Almost nobody is running this yet. Here’s the problem nobody tells you. Claude forgets you. Every new chat starts at 0. You re explain your business, your projects, your style every single time. That tax is why most people never compound anything with AI. The fix is 1 skill. It’s called Obsidian Mind. It turns your Obsidian vault into Claude’s long term brain. 2,000 notes, 14 projects, every idea you’ve ever dumped Claude reads it live and writes back to it live. It stops being a chatbot. It becomes a second brain that builds. What it does: → Bridges Claude Code straight into your vault. → Pulls any note in real time no copy paste, no context limit. → Updates your vault as you work Claude writes its own memory. → Links everything into 1 graph Claude can navigate. Day 1: Claude knows your last 6 months. Week 2: it drafts off your own past notes. Week 4: it’s running plays you forgot you wrote down. The people making real money with AI right now aren’t smarter. They just stopped starting from 0 every morning. Setup takes 11 minutes. The skill is free. You’ll have a brain that never forgets.

Obsidian + Claude Code is how Andrej Karpathy turns 15 years of notes into a brain that works while he sleeps. The method behind it costs $0 and takes 5 minutes a day and it outlived every productivity app since 2011. Every idea, link, and half-thought gets appended to the top of a single note, with no sorting, no folders, no tags. Once a week he scrolls through, and anything that still matters gets copied back to the top. Weak ideas sink. Strong ideas resurface 5, 10, 20 times and by the 20th pass your brain has already wired them into everything else you know. Repetition as a filter. That's the whole system. Now the 2026 upgrade almost nobody is running: Drop that note into an Obsidian vault and open the folder with Claude Code not the chat app, the terminal agent that reads files. 3 commands change everything: read my last 30 days of notes and find the 3 ideas I keep circling without acting on link every note mentioning this project into a CLAUDE.md of what I actually believe about it draft this week's post from the idea that resurfaced most Claude Code doesn't search your vault it walks it, follows the wikilinks, and hands you the patterns you were too close to see. Karpathy method filters the signal, Obsidian stores it, Claude Code compounds it. One is a habit, one is a folder, one is $20 a month together they're the closest thing to a second brain that thinks back. Most people collect notes for 10 years and never read them once. His notes read him.

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

A developer pointed Claude Code at a 6,200-note Obsidian vault and let it run overnight. The vault was 4 years of markdown. Meeting notes, half-ideas, book highlights. Dead weight. He hadn't opened 90% of it since 2022. He typed one line into the terminal. "Read everything. Find what I forgot." Then he went to bed. By 7 AM, Claude Code had touched all 6,200 files. It wrote 3 new notes. The first mapped 14 ideas scattered across 3 years into one product. He'd never seen they connected. The second listed 22 promises he'd made in old meeting notes and never kept. The third was a full essay. Stitched from 40 fragments. In his own phrasing. He hadn't written a note in 8 months. The vault had been writing itself the whole time. He just couldn't read his own handwriting at scale. Now Claude Code opens the vault every morning at 6:00. It links new notes to old ones. It flags contradictions. It drafts. 2 tools. 1 folder of plain text. No app, no cloud, no subscription. He stopped taking notes to remember them. He takes them now to be read back.

Karpathy gave 100,000 people the LLM Wiki idea. 1 guy actually built it into a Claude + Obsidian brain that never forgets you. Every AI tool forgets you the second you close the tab. ChatGPT, Claude, Codex. All gone. He killed that. A shared memory layer your AI builds and maintains on its own. 3 layers. Raw, Wiki, Schema. You drop a source, Claude reads it, pulls the concepts, links them, cites the original, never touches your raw notes. Scales to 1,000s of notes without breaking. Then it goes deeper. An agentic firewall locks agents out of your other vaults. A local model running free and private, zero cloud. 2 videos walk through it all. 1 on why. 1 on the build, start to finish. Most people will keep pasting the same context into 6 tabs for the next 3 years. Build it once. Never explain yourself to a model again.

A Stanford 26-year-old spent 2 years turning 11,400 Obsidian notes into a neural net that finishes his sentences. It started as a folder called “misc” with 43 PDF in it. Most vaults die around 300 notes, because nothing connects and nothing comes back roughly 90% of what you save gets read once, on the day you save it. He fixed it by treating retrieval as the product and storage as the leftovers. Phase 1: Atomize (months 1-3) One idea per note, 200 words max, title written as a claim instead of a topic. “Attention is a filter, not a spotlight” beats “Notes on attention.” He rewrote 1,200 old notes this way and the vault shrank from 2,800 files to 1,600 usable ones. Phase 2: Embed locally (months 4-8) Ollama running nomic-embed-text on a Mac Mini M4, every note chunked at 512 tokens with 64-token overlap, all of it dumped into a local ChromaDB. 11,400 notes became 38,000 vectors and 1.2 GB on disk. Query time 0.4 seconds, cost $0 a month, nothing leaving the machine. Phase 3: Kill the hallucinations (months 9-14) Plain cosine search returned garbage about 30% of the time, so he bolted on a re-ranker and one hard rule: every retrieved chunk carries its source note title into the answer, and no citation means no answer. Wrong recalls fell from 1 in 4 to 1 in 30. Phase 4: Make it speak first (months 15-24) A nightly job reads the day’s writing, pulls the 5 oldest notes with the highest similarity, and drops 3 questions into tomorrow’s daily note. He stopped searching the vault somewhere in month 17 now it opens the conversation before he does. Before: 2,800 notes, 0 reused, 6 weeks per paper draft. After: 11,400 notes, 60-70 surfaced every week unasked, 9 days per draft. The whole stack is 4 pieces Obsidian, Ollama, ChromaDB, and a 40-line Python script that runs at 2 AM. Total software spend across 24 months: $0. Most people build a second brain to store things they will never open again. He stopped writing to remember. He writes so the machine can remind him.

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 TURNED 4,000+ IDEAS INTO A KNOWLEDGE GRAPH THAT REBUILDS ITSELF EVERY NIGHT every lecture adds another point. every saved article adds another signal. every old note becomes part of the map again instead of sitting dead inside a folder. a $599 mac mini runs the loop 24/7, claude extracts the useful parts, verifies the note, then links it to 2-3 related ideas inside obsidian before saving it back into the vault. after 30 days the graph starts getting dense. random notes become clusters, forgotten ideas resurface, and the whole system begins to look less like storage and more like a private memory engine. this is what a second brain looks like when it stops waiting for you to open the app.

YOUR AI IS FORGETTING EVERYTHING YOU TAUGHT IT YESTERDAY. That is why most outputs still feel generic. The people getting real leverage in 2026 fixed this with one setup: Obsidian + Claude Code. Obsidian stores your thinking. Claude Code reads the patterns. Your notes become permanent context the agent can access anytime: Daily thoughts. Projects. Ideas. Contradictions. Questions you keep returning to. Then the real unlock: Custom slash commands. `/context` loads your recent thinking instantly. `/emerge` finds hidden ideas across your notes. `/challenge` tests your beliefs against your past writing. `/trace` maps how your thinking evolved over time. One critical rule: The AI never writes to the vault. You write. The agent reads. That is what keeps the system valuable. At first it feels like note-taking. Eventually it feels like a second brain.

THIS GUY TURNED OBSIDIAN INTO A DIGITAL TWIN OF HIS OWN BRAIN, 400 PLUS NODES, 6 KNOWLEDGE CLUSTERS, 1 LOCAL VAULT, AND A MAP THAT GETS SMARTER WITH EVERY NOTE 00:05 the graph begins as one dense sphere, then individual paths light up across the screen, showing how a single note can connect to dozens of ideas instead of disappearing inside another folder. most people store information in straight lines, one file after another. his vault grows like a network, research connects to projects, projects connect to decisions, and old notes keep feeding new work months later. after 100 notes, it still feels like storage. around 300, clusters begin exposing repeated interests, unfinished threads, and topics that keep returning even after he stops thinking about them. with claude connected, the network becomes usable context. instead of pasting 20 files into one chat, an agent can follow 5 linked notes, pull original sources, compare old decisions, and write the result back into the same vault. a real second brain is not the pretty graph. it is a local system where every new thought strengthens old connections, buried ideas come back when needed, and knowledge keeps compounding without leaving your machine.

A 26-year-old plugged Claude Code into his Obsidian vault and the vault started working night shifts. 9,412 notes. 6 years of reading, ideas, half-dead projects. Dead weight until 3 weeks ago. He pointed Claude Code at the vault folder. No plugins. No API glue. The vault is just markdown files, and Claude Code reads files. That's the whole trick everyone misses. Now every night at 2 AM a cron job wakes Claude inside the vault: reads the 40 newest notes links them to old ones he forgot existed writes a daily brief called "what your brain missed" drafts 3 content ideas from collisions between notes Morning 1 it connected a 2021 note on Roman logistics with a 2026 note on AI agent routing. That collision became a post. 214,000 views. Morning 9 it found a SaaS idea buried in a book summary from 2022. He built the landing page the same day. 61 signups before dinner. Morning 17 it flagged that 3 of his abandoned drafts were the same idea written 3 times. He merged them. Best thing he's shipped this year. Cost: $0 in new tools. Obsidian is free. The vault was already there. 6 years he treated his second brain like a warehouse. Turns out it was an employee waiting for a boss.

how to use obsidian + claude code to build a 24/7 personal operating system and build your startup: 1. write everything in markdown (daily notes, projects, beliefs, people, meetings) 2. link your notes together so they mirror how your brain actually thinks. 3. install obsidian cli so claude code can read your entire vault + the relationships. 4. stop reexplaining projects every session. use reference files instead. 5. build custom slash commands: /context → load your full life + work state /trace → see how an idea evolved over months /connect → bridge two domains you’ve been circling /ideas → generate startup ideas from your vault /graduate → promote daily thoughts into real assets 6. keep a strict rule: human writes the vault. agents read it, suggest, execute. 7. let claude aka clode surface patterns you’ve been unconsciously circling for years. 8. delegate from inside your notes. one sentence in obsidian → agent handles the rest. 9. treat writing as leverage.the more you write, the more context your agents have. 10. understand this:markdown files are the oxygen of llms. i really enjoyed seeing how to use obsidian thanks to internetVin vin uses ai like a thinking partner wired into his life’s work. 99.99% of people won’t do this because it requires reflection + setup. but once the vault exists, the agent stops being generic. it starts thinking in your voice. episode is live on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (more there) this one is different. send this tweet to a friend. im still processing how game changer obsidian + claude code is, maybe you too watch

Most people use Claude Code like a chatbot, then wonder why it forgets everything by Tuesday. The ones quietly building $10K AI workflows give it a second brain instead, and it’s free. It’s called Obsidian. You download it, point it at one folder on your computer, and that folder becomes a vault. Every note inside it is now something Claude Code can read end to end. Open Claude in that folder and it’s connected, that simple. The trick isn’t the tool, it’s the map. 3 folders, that’s the whole system. Raw, you dump everything here. Notes, transcripts, screenshots, half thoughts, zero structure. Wiki, Claude reads the raw pile and writes clean Wikipedia style articles about it, structured, searchable, permanent. Output, when you want a deliverable, a PDF, a slide deck, a script, it pulls from the wiki and ships it. Most people skip the wiki layer and feed Claude a junk drawer of 400 files, then blame the model when the answers are garbage. The model isn’t the problem, your folder is. Give it a path it can follow and it finds anything in 1 second, give it chaos and it guesses. You don’t even have to design the structure yourself. Open the vault, tell Claude to build a file system that fits your work, and watch it organize your entire brain in one prompt. Free tool, 3 folders, a second brain that compounds while you sleep. The people falling behind are still copy pasting into a chat window.

HERMES AGENT + OBSIDIAN IS A COMBINATION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT. Hermes ships with a bundled Obsidian skill. read, search, and create notes in your vault out of the box. why this combination is powerful: Hermes built-in memory is capped. MEMORY.md: 2,200 chars (~800 tokens). USER.md: 1,375 chars (~500 tokens). Obsidian vault has no cap. your agent writes research, session summaries, project context, and learned patterns as linked markdown notes. unlimited depth. the agent creates indexed notes by design. timestamps, backlinks, tags. every note connects to the knowledge graph. three ways to integrate: 1. BUNDLED OBSIDIAN SKILL (simplest) ships with Hermes. reads, searches, creates notes in your vault directly. hermes skills list | grep obsidian 2. OBSIDIAN MCP SERVER (deepest) 30+ tools: full-text search, tag lookup, note management, vault analysis, link analysis, orphan detection. add it via: hermes mcp 3. TELEGRAM + CRON → VAULT (always-on) set a cron job that writes daily summaries, research findings, or task reports directly into your Obsidian vault. your agent feeds the vault while you sleep. you review in Obsidian when you're ready. the unlock: Hermes memory handles what the agent needs to know per session (capped, injected). Obsidian handles everything the agent has ever learned (uncapped, searchable). short-term in Hermes. long-term in Obsidian. both accessible. both persistent. keep the vault scope narrow at first. start with one /Hermes folder. expand once you trust the workflow. 8 Loops Indise Hermes Agent👇

iit's wild that this still isn't the default way people use AI. Andrew Ng, a co-founder of Google Brain, gave a talk that crossed 2 million views: stop feeding your AI a folder of notes, build it a graph it can actually think with. his point is simple, stop making your AI read the whole vault to answer one thing. give it a graph, a router that points, an index that scores, edges that link, and it walks straight to the answer. it compounds, cheaper and faster the more you add. here's the whole thing: > point Claude at your notes and have it write a tiny router, your CLAUDE.md > build an index, one line per note, so it always knows where an answer lives > keep each note to one idea, and link the ones that depend on each other > make retrieval run as code, so it scores and opens the right files before the model thinks > tell it to prove the graph beats a flat folder on speed and cost, then keep the index fresh on every write set it up once and your AI stops guessing. it already knows your world before you type a word. full 12-step guide below. bookmark this.
