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...

I just built a Claude skill that acts as a second brain for DTC brands 🤯 Drop your ad exports, customer reviews, competitor screenshots, and brand docs into a folder → Claude compiles it all into an organized wiki you can ask questions against. All inside Claude Cowork. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies whose knowledge is scattered across Google Drive, Notion, Meta Ads Manager, Figma, and 47 spreadsheets nobody has opened in 3 months. If every strategic question takes 2 hours to answer because the data lives in 8 different places ... This skill eliminates the entire loop: → Claude scaffolds a DTC folder structure: ads, customers, competitors, brand, performance, notes → You drop every file you have into those folders — messy, unorganized, exactly how you have them now → Claude reads everything and compiles a wiki: hooks-that-work, customer-pains, competitor-angles, brand-voice, performance-patterns, creative-brief-library → Every article is cross-linked and traceable back to the source file → You ask questions against the wiki — "what hooks are actually working?" "what objections come up most?" "where are my competitors weak?" → Claude answers, grounded entirely in your own data → Save the answers back in and the system gets smarter every time you use it No more hunting through 12 tools. No more "where did I save that brief?" No more answering the same question twice. What you get: → A complete DTC brand brain scaffold in 60 seconds → Six core wiki articles Claude populates automatically from your raw files → A schema file that tells Claude exactly how to maintain the wiki for DTC use cases → Monthly health checks that catch contradictions and flag gaps before errors compound → A knowledge base that compounds — every question you ask makes the next answer better Built on a methodology Andrej Karpathy shared for personal knowledge bases, I rebuilt the entire thing for DTC operators: folder structure, schema rules, wiki articles, and question frameworks all tuned for brands and agencies. I put together the full skill file plus a playbook walking through the exact setup and 5 real questions to ask your brand brain.

Introducing Wikiwise: an open-source Mac app for managing your own Karpathy-style LLM wiki. Set up a new wiki in a few clicks: all you need is Wikiwise + your agent. It's infinitely customizable, just markdown/html under the hood, and one click to share your wiki publicly. Here's how it works: * Install Wikiwise for mac (it's built in Swift so super minimal and performant). In Karpathy's framework, Wikiwise is your IDE. * Start a new Wiki: it generates a new folder on your machine that's scaffolded in the wiki structure Andrej Karpathy describes (index.md, raw folder, wiki folder, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, although it tries to be as un-opinionated as possible). * Then just point your agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, etc) at the folder and tell it what to import -- files on your machine, connect to your Readwise account, or urls from the web. * Your agent creates wthe wiki for you: Your agent will know how to ingest your raw sources (via the AGENTS.md) and will immediately start writing+linking wiki pages for you. * Go crazy on customization! The rendered wiki pages live as static html/css in your folder too so just tell your agent to change stuff, and if you need any more customization Wikiwise is fully open source :) * Ask questions about your research with your agent, ask it to bring in new sources, write new documents, etc. * (optionally) Hit the Publish button to share your wiki with friends/colleagues at a custom URL === I tried to walk the line on a couple constraints with Wikiwise: 1. I wanted it to be easy to spin up new wikis, especially without chaining together a bunch of different apps. It takes me a few minutes to spin up a new wiki on a topic -- I already have five! 2. Infinitely Customizable: one great aspect of building a wiki as Karpathy described is that you can modify any aspect of your wiki with your agent. Every new wiki styling+structure is self-contained in the local folder, which allows you to preserve this. Wikiwise is just an IDE that makes the setup easier and includes a nice un-opinionated starting state. 3. Minimal: Wikiwise is built mostly in Swift, and the DMG you install to download it is only 2.6MB (!) 4. Easy Publishing: my colleague Eleanor Konik has been building her own LLM wikis for months, but has always really struggled to actually share them with her book club. There are tools to do it, but figuring out hosting is always a huge headache. This seemed like an ideal usecase for a tool like Wikiwise to solve. The process of building wikiwise was also pretty interesting -- I "bootstrapped" the app in a way by first building my own wiki based on Karpathy's tweet and other notes I had, and slowly formed the shape of the project in collaboration with my LLM. This was all done in 3 days over the latest Readwise company hackathon we had. Truly an incredible time to be alive. Anyways, curious what you think! Links in next tweet.

Motion graphics used to take me an hour per scene (or more) Now I'm creating them in 3-5 minutes — without After Effects, without Premiere, without writing a single line of code. I'm a former LA filmmaker (still PGA). My entire video stack is now 3 tools: Claude Code + HyperFrames (from HeyGen) + Descript Here's how the workflow runs: 1. Drop my brand style guide into a folder (colors, fonts, components Claude reuses forever) 2. Paste a line from my Descript transcript into Claude Code: "Create a scene for this part of the video" 3. Claude Code reads my brand, generates the HyperFrames scene, renders it to MP4 4. Drag the MP4 into Descript, drop it on the matching line of the transcript 5. Done. 3-5 minutes per scene. The unlock is the brand style guide. Once Claude has your colors, fonts, and reusable components, every scene inherits your look automatically. Bonus — you can take a Claude Design export (.zip), hand it to Claude Code, and it'll convert the HTML into a HyperFrames video you can render and edit. I built a GitHub repo with all the skills pre-loaded. Non-developers can clone it, open Claude Code, and be rendering scenes in under 10 minutes. Full walkthrough (20 min video) below Repo (skills + brand template + music-from-transcript plugin): Bookmark this if you make videos. The brand-style-guide pattern alone will save you hours every week. If you're a creator or operator using AI for content — share this with someone who's still living in After Effects.

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!
