Using Claude with Obsidian is a fun combo. Linking notes like this makes it way easier to see connections. Plus, capturing thoughts in a loop? Genius! This could really up productivity.

“The vault is the state, not the chat window” is exactly the right direction. But linked Markdown is still linked documents. A real memory layer needs identity, time and contradiction: who is the same person, what changed, and which source wins.

the self-running second brain idea is exactly why i've been moving my notes toward obsidian — a stack that maintains itself instead of rotting in a folder. the loop engineering part is what i still need to figure out

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 DOCTOR BUILT AN AI-QUERYABLE DATABASE OF EVERY DISEASE HE KNOWS IN OBSIDIAN. THE SAME STACK CAN RUN AN ENTIRE COMPANY ON ONE PERSON'S BRAIN Zoomed out, his vault looks like a constellation. Every disease linked to its symptoms, every symptom to the conditions it shows up in, every treatment to what it treats. Adding a new case is one note that wires itself into the rest. It's a personal database, and the structure has nothing to do with medicine. It's just nodes and links. Once you see that, the same setup runs anything: > a startup that needs to remember every customer, decision, and meeting; > a school whose curriculum links to every lecture and student question; > a business where SOPs, clients, and vendors all sit in one queryable graph. Drop Claude on top, and the vault stops being a map. It becomes something you can ask, in plain English, across everything you've ever written down. Full Claude + Obsidian build in the article below.

While AI timeline argues about loop engineering, a 20-year-old student in Shenzhen built the biggest loop anyone's aimed at money: 300 agents, one brain, $1,200 -> 395,000. Not a prompt. Not a bot. A loop that runs the whole job on its own - and never asks him a thing. No fund. No backers. Just a laptop, a dorm room, and a bet that a swarm beats a genius. His wallet: The smartest single model still works one step at a time. His loop moves in 300 directions at once - and never checks in with him. Claude Opus 4.8 runs the floor as the brain. 300 agents are the hands. One loop ties them together: > Decompose - Opus breaks the market into targets > Dispatch - 300 agents scatter across them at once > Execute - thousands of reads in a single pass, not one by one > Review - Opus grades every edge before a cent moves The hands find. The brain judges. The loop learns what failed and runs again, tighter each time. One daily loss cap, and it shuts itself down. It's not a bot you babysit. It's a loop that runs the whole desk. Everyone's just learning to run one loop. He runs 300 in one. The edge was never the genius model - it's the size of the loop, and the brain in charge of it. Save this - the full 300-agent loop is laid out above, start to finish. You'll want it when you build your own. 300 agents are looping right now, hunting the markets everyone skips. Two clicks and their trades land in your wallet too:

Obsidian + Claude Code turned a 4,300-note vault into a second brain that answers back. Most people use Obsidian as a graveyard. You save 40 highlights a week, link nothing, and reread maybe 2% of it. The knowledge is there the retrieval is dead. Claude Code fixes the retrieval, because your vault is just a folder of markdown files and Claude Code lives in folders. The whole setup takes 20 minutes: Open a terminal inside your Obsidian folder and run Claude Code no plugins, no API glue, no export step. It reads all 4,300 files natively. Then drop a CLAUDE.md at the vault root explaining your structure: where daily notes live, how you tag, what your MOCs are. Now every session starts with context instead of chaos. From there you just talk to your vault: > "find every note where I mentioned churn and write a summary with backlinks" > "read my last 30 daily notes and list the 5 ideas I keep circling but never ship" > "build a MOC for everything tagged startup-ideas and link the orphan notes into it" It writes new notes straight into the vault with proper [[wikilinks]], and they show up in your graph view 10 seconds later. The boring layer automates too one command cleans broken links, one merges duplicates, one turns 6 months of meeting notes into a single decisions log. Work that used to eat a Sunday now runs while you make coffee. Before: 4,300 notes, 900 orphans, search by keyword and prayer. After: an agent that read everything you ever wrote and drafts in your own voice, from your own sources, with receipts. People pay $30/month for AI note apps with 10% of this. You already own the other 90%. Your notes stopped being storage. They started being staff.

A DEVELOPER CONNECTED CLAUDE CODE TO OBSIDIAN SO HIS AI AGENT WOULD STOP FORGETTING THE PROJECT EVERY MORNING. Every coding session used to start the same way. Claude would understand the repo, fix the bug, explain the architecture, and then the moment the session ended, all of that context disappeared. Same codebase. Same decisions. Same architecture. Same mistakes repeated again. So he added a memory layer. Instead of treating Claude Code like a smart terminal, he connected it to a local Obsidian vault through MCP. Now Claude can read the repo, open the vault, create notes, link concepts, and write important decisions back into the system. When it studies the codebase, it does not just answer once and forget. It creates notes for the major services, maps how the architecture works, links auth to the database, connects APIs to storage, and records why certain migrations or design choices exist. Obsidian becomes the project graph. Now when he asks why something was built a certain way, Claude does not guess from the current prompt. It reads the decision notes. When he starts a new branch, Claude checks the active context file. When the work is done, it updates what changed, what is blocked, and what the next agent needs to know before touching the repo. That is the real loop: read context, write code, capture decisions, update memory. Most people are still using AI coding tools like disposable chat windows. Ask, patch, close, forget. This setup turns Claude Code into infrastructure. The repo gets a memory layer that survives every session, and multiple AI agents can work from the same project map without stepping on each other. The unlock is not better prompting. The unlock is giving the agent somewhere to remember what it already learned.

STOP TREATING YOUR OBSIDIAN VAULT AS AI MEMORY. WITHOUT ONE ROUTING FILE, CLAUDE IS BURNING TOKENS ON NOISE YOU FORGOT YOU SAVED. a folder full of markdown does not make Claude smart. what makes it smart is what your agent can find without rereading the whole vault. storage: write → tag → graph → agent scans everything the model touches the entire vault, hallucinates half of it, forgets by the next session. memory: write → index → route → agent opens two files the model reads the index first, follows one path, answers with a link back to the note. i have rebuilt my Obsidian vault three times this year. the first two collapsed inside a month because Claude kept guessing which folder to open. the third one holds because the first thing i ship now is the routing file. Markdown, links, and the graph view are not what changed. what changed was a one-line description per folder, written for the agent, kept current, loaded before any retrieval call. if your agent still starts every session by scanning your whole vault, you are running storage. write the routing file today.

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.

PSYCHO CREATED A GOD-MODE SECOND BRAIN ON FABLE 5 THAT FILLS ITS OWN KNOWLEDGE GAPS WHILE YOU SLEEP. KARPATHY'S FILE STRUCTURE MAKES IT POSSIBLE. Everyone wires Claude into Obsidian, posts the graph, and stops. this guy added a third system and it quietly changes the whole game: The full build is in the article below: vault structure, the Claude wiring, the exact prompts, the skills. > Obsidian as the knowledge base, but any notes app works as long as Claude Code can see the files > Karpathy's LLM Wiki doc as the skeleton, so the vault is organized the way a model actually reads, not the way humans decorate folders > a self-learning skill on a weekly loop: scans the entire brain, finds the gaps, then researches YouTube and Google by itself to fill them Read the third one again, actually your notes only ever contain what you happened to write down, and the gap-finder breaks that ceiling: the brain starts knowing things you never told it. Most second brains know what you told them. a real one notices what you didn't. that's the difference between note-taking and compounding. one sits there. the other gets smarter every week whether you showed up or not. P.S. send the article straight to your Claude, tell it to interview you, and the brain starts filling itself tonight.

Boris Cherny runs Claude Code at Anthropic. His line should stop you mid-scroll: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figure out what to do. My job is to write loops." The skill moved. From writing prompts to building the loop around them. A loop that works has three things. Drop one and it burns money in circles. 1. A finish line it can prove. Tests pass or they fail. "Looks done" is not a finish line. 2. A checker that did not write the code. A model grading itself always says yes. 3. Brakes set before you start. A step limit. A money ceiling. A stop condition. That is the whole game. The loop does the work. You design the cage it runs in. Full breakdown below.

Boris Cherny runs Claude Code at Anthropic. His line should stop you mid-scroll: "I don't prompt Claude anymore. I have loops running that prompt Claude and figure out what to do. My job is to write loops." The skill moved. From writing prompts to building the loop around them. A loop that works has three things. Drop one and it burns money in circles. 1.

your agent is not the loop the loop is only the smallest layer LOOP vs GRAPH vs HARNESS ENGINEERING most teams still treat all three like one prompt that is why agent failures feel impossible to diagnose LOOP ENGINEERING controls iteration turns retries budgets evaluators exits stalled progress when the run keeps going forever the loop is broken make long-running work survive crashes and restarts → GRAPH ENGINEERING controls structure nodes edges state branches cycles joins checkpoints when the agent takes the wrong path the graph is broken make state and routing explicit → inspect the topology without asking another model to explain it → HARNESS ENGINEERING controls access tools permissions memory sandboxes evals traces humans when the agent touches the wrong system the harness is broken isolate generated code and tool execution from the host → put an eval gate before every model or prompt update → keep one trace across every node model and tool call → without loop engineering it never stops without graph engineering you cannot see the path without harness engineering it can reach anything the prompt lives inside the loop the loop lives inside the graph the graph lives inside the harness the model is the smallest box in the system debug the layer that actually owns the failure save this before the next agent rewrite

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.

Head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny: "You're not supposed to write code anymore. You're supposed to build a graph that writes itself." In 30 minutes he breaks down how engineers at Anthropic build graphs that write the code, catch the bugs, and ships. The missing piece most developers skip: how to wire those agents into a graph that runs, verifies, and improves without you. Watch it, then read the full guide on graph engineering below.

this JEV is certified f*cking diamond every agent you ship burns frontier tokens on questions that were never writing jobs is this spam? which worker goes next? is the draft good enough to show a human? those are decisions. Jev is built for that half of the loop you send state plus a typed question. it returns a choice, a score, or yes/no with confidence. no chat. no second opinion the public demos, not our lab: > ~1,000 papers classified for about $0.08, median around 256ms > ~500 emails in one inbox pass for about 3.5¢ > a flight search loop in about 7 seconds for about $0.0039 > a huge Claude session compacted from ~1M tokens down to ~86k in about a second the whole trick is the split if it creates, the LLM writes if it picks, scores, or gates, Jev decides if it does the thing, code does it pricing people quote: about $0.042 per million tokens in. output free. 10,000 decisions is about $0.42 a local router makes it obvious. goal plus what's already done. Jev picks research, write, or review. confidence under 0.85 goes to a human. the job lands as JSON in a folder. the writer never wakes up for a yes/no and the loop refuses to publish on its own drafts go to review. you hit post. Jev never sends the tweet one model writes. a cheaper one decides. nothing irreversible ships until a human says yes.

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.
