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 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

Obsidian + Claude = 24/7 personal operating system Greg Isenberg just showed how to bridge a local Markdown vault and Claude Code via Obsidian CLI the setup that solves the context bottleneck: > /context - loads the complete model of your projects, schedule, and interests so you never have to re-explain details > /today - compiles calendar slots, tasks, and notes from the last week into a prioritized daily plan > /challenge - scans past entries to find contradictions, testing your current beliefs against your own history > /graduate - a custom command that Claude Code wrote for itself to extract structured essays from daily logs the people who build this tonight will never work the same way again bookmark this before your next setup session 👇

THIS GUY BUILT AN AUTONOMOUS AI AGENT OUT OF CLAUDE CODE + OBSIDIAN and this is way more interesting than another “use AI to take notes” demo the trick is simple: Obsidian is not the writing app here. it becomes the agent’s memory, task board, and context folder. Claude Code is not just answering prompts. it reads the vault, edits files, follows instructions, and keeps moving through the work like a junior operator with a filesystem. the reusable setup looks like this: 1. create an Obsidian vault for one project 2. keep goals, rules, tasks, decisions, and references as markdown files 3. point Claude Code at the folder 4. give it a clear operating loop: read context → choose next task → execute → write back what changed 5. use the notes as persistent memory instead of re-explaining the project every chat that’s the part people miss. the “agent” is not magic. it’s the boring combination of: - local files - explicit rules - task state - write access - a model that can run through the repo/vault Obsidian makes the memory human-readable. Claude Code makes the memory executable. that combo is why the video worked: it turns a notes app into an operating surface for actual work. best use cases: - content systems - research vaults - coding projects - client ops docs - personal knowledge bases that need actions, not just storage the caveat: if your vault is messy, your agent becomes messy too. folders, naming, “done” criteria, and forbidden actions matter more than the prompt. but once the structure is clean, this is one of the easiest ways to build an agent that remembers what happened yesterday without paying for a full custom app.

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.

CLAUDE JUST TURNED OBSIDIAN INTO A BRAIN THAT NEVER FORGETS (FOR $0) Someone connected Claude straight to their Obsidian vault. Now the AI reads and writes every note they own. Every client, every idea, every project. Instant recall. Runs on Claude + Obsidian. One evening. Zero code. The numbers are insane: - Notion AI: $10/month forever - A "second brain" course: $500 to $2,000 - An assistant to organize your notes: $3,000/month - This setup: $0 - Time to build: one evening - Skill required: copy the steps The opportunity is even wilder: People sell Notion "second brain" templates for $99 to $499. You just built something better for free, and it never forgets. One free vault can hold the entire memory of your business: clients, content, SOPs, ideas. One person + Claude + Obsidian + one evening = an infinite memory that never forgets. Save and watch the clip.

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

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👇

A 26-YEAR-OLD AI ENGINEER WHOSE BIRMINGHAM THESIS OUTPERFORMED GOOGLE SCHOLAR BY 50% JUST SHIPPED GRAPHIFY: ONE COMMAND TURNS ANY FOLDER INTO A CLAUDE CODE SECOND BRAIN Safi Shamsi built Graphify 48 hours after Karpathy posted his LLM wiki idea. It turns any folder, codebase, docs, PDFs, into a knowledge graph Claude reads instead of grepping. Up to 43x fewer tokens per query. The trick almost nobody is using yet: one flag exports the entire graph as a fully-linked Obsidian vault. Repo: /safishamsi/graphify Setup, end to end: 1. Install: uv tool install graphifyy (or pipx install graphifyy). Verify with graphify --version. 2. Install the skill in Claude Code: graphify claude install. This wires Graphify into Claude Code so you can call it as a skill. 3. Open the folder you want mapped in Claude Code. In the terminal: graphify . It extracts every concept and builds the graph in graphify-out/. 4. Export to Obsidian: graphify . --obsidian. Writes one note per concept, every relationship as a wikilink, every node linked back to its source. 5. Open the new vault in Obsidian (Manage vaults → Open folder as a vault), or drag it as a subfolder into your existing one. That's it. Your Claude Code instance now has a navigable map of the codebase that loads instantly instead of re-reading files every session.

One of the smartest things you can do with Fable 5 right now: Re-create your AI second brain to log all your business ideas, personal context, and important data. The first time I built an AI second brain was with Opus, but I recently re-created it with Fable 5, and it blew my mind. Here's exactly how to get started: Step 1. Set up your Obsidian vault Download Obsidian from Obsidian dot md if you haven't already. Then, go ahead and create a clean vault with your most important folders. For example: /ideas → business ideas, content angles, random thoughts /context → who you are, your business, your goals, your stack /data → important numbers, portfolios, metrics /log → daily entries, decisions, lessons learned This is your database. Everything Fable reads lives here. Step 2. Connect Fable 5 to your vault I like this Claude Code prompt: "/goal connect to my Obsidian vault at [path] and act as my second brain orchestrator. Read everything in /context before every session. Log anything new I tell you to /log with today's date." Fable now reads your vault before it answers anything - it knows your business, your goals, your history. Step 3. Build the self-update habit Every time you have an idea, a decision, or a lesson, tell Fable: "Log this to my second brain: [thought]" Step 4. Start querying it You can start sending prompts like: → "What are the most common themes across my last 30 ideas?" → "Based on my context, what should I be prioritising this week?" → "What decisions have I made about my content strategy so far?" Opus was good at this, but Fable is on another level. I feel the depth of reasoning it brings to your data is genuinely unlike anything I've used before. Some might argue it's a bit of overkill to use Fable for a simple second-brain setup, but if you have the means, it's 100% worth it. Build this once, and it'll compound forever.

The reason your AI gives generic answers isn't the model. It's that your company's knowledge lives in 12 different tools and your agent can't see any of it. So here's how to build a context database your agents can actually use: 1) Pull it in: - Slack, email, meetings, docs, tickets - Auto-collected on a schedule into one place. 2) Clean it up. - An agent files what matters and drops the noise, so your brain doesn't bloat. 3) Store it as memory. - Folders of files your agents read from and write back to as they learn. 4) Point your agents at it. - Now they draft, build, and ship with full context instead of guessing. Same model. Same agent. The difference is whether it can understand your company or not. Build the database once. Everything downstream gets smarter.

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.

how to use claude code + 3 MCPs + 2 AI tools to go from cold idea to live A/B test in 1 session (full workflow): 1. connect ideabrowser as an MCP. pull your project context like ICP, positioning, offer, growth strategy directly into the terminal. 2. use ideabrowser skills to generate a lead magnet concept tailored to your niche. it builds the strategy doc and saves it as a file. 3. open paper (connected to claude code). design your landing page visually and iterate on hero, sections, components. design and code stay in sync. dont necessarily need figma here. 4. deploy the landing page. wire up humblytics for analytics like traffic, scroll depth, heat maps, funnel tracking, full attribution. 5. run a no-code A/B experiment directly from claude code. it dynamically swaps your headline on the live site. 6. store the results back into Idea Browser (pro plan) so your agent compounds context over time. every future decision is informed by past data. 7. everyone can build landing pages now. the gap is knowing what to test, how to get customers, and how to optimize. this stack/workflowcloses that gap. amirmxt showed me this live and i can't stop thinking about the arbitrage. 99.999% of people don't know this stack exists. it's like when 5 cent facebook ads were around, arbritrage is all over again. episode is finally live on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 (full demo there) this one is different. send it to a friend who likes ideas and automating businesses. 100% free to watch this and get your creative juices flowing (let me know what you want me to cover next) watch

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 MIGHT BE THE #1 OPEN-SOURCE REPO FOR CLAUDE CODE RIGHT NOW. IT GIVES CLAUDE A MEMORY AND SLASHES YOUR TOKEN COST ON EVERY QUESTION The repo is safishamsi/graphify, a free open-source skill that turns any codebase into a knowledge graph Claude Code can read instantly. Instead of grepping through your files every session, Claude gets a map of how everything connects The problem it fixes: Every time you ask Claude Code about a big repo, it does the same thing, greps through dozens of files like a brute-force Ctrl+F, blows through your context window, and sometimes still misses the answer hiding in a file nobody searched. Claude Code has no memory of how your project is structured. Every session starts from zero What it does: It maps your entire codebase into a knowledge graph, capturing not just which files exist, but which functions depend on which, which modules are central, and which files cluster around the same concern. Claude queries the map instead of scanning files How it works, three passes: 1. Code structure, free and local. Tree-sitter parses your files and pulls out classes, functions, imports and call graphs. No LLM, no tokens, just your actual code mapped deterministically 2. Audio and video, if you have them. Transcribed locally and folded into the graph 3. Docs, papers, images. Here an LLM does semantic analysis, figuring out what each document means and where it fits. Only the meaning gets sent up, never your raw source It saves you money: Normally a question about a big repo makes Claude spawn explore agents that scan file after file, eating your context window and your token budget before you get an answer. With the graph already built, Claude queries the map instead of re-reading the codebase every time. Same answer, a fraction of the tokens. The graph only gets built once, then a hook rebuilds it after each commit for free, so you never pay that scanning cost again. The bigger the repo, the bigger the gap The best parts: it's a skill, so once installed Claude knows when to use it without you memorizing commands. It works on non-code folders too, point it at docs or notes and it can spin up an Obsidian vault How to add it to your Claude: 1. Install Claude Code if you haven't: npm install -g Paul Jankura-ai/claude-code 2. Add the skill: claude skill add safishamsi/graphify 3. Open your project folder and run /graphify . to build the graph 4. Optional, make it automatic: graphify hook install so the graph rebuilds after every commit That's it. Ask Claude about your repo and it reads the map instead of burning tokens on a file hunt Bookmark this

I got curious how compaction works as a PM, so I did some brain surgery on Claude Code: (Anthropic's been doing really interesting work on context editing - they showed Claude Opus playing Settlers of Catan for 75+ minutes in a single thread by constantly editing the context instead of starting fresh. When I saw that Claude Code has a compaction command with optional custom instructions, I wanted to understand what's actually happening.) Abhishek Katiyar and Aman Khan gave me the key tip: Claude Code stores all your conversation history as text files on your computer. Open a new directory and give Claude Code a task. Here's how to watch compaction happening: 1. Go to your user's root directory 2. Press Command+Shift+Period (Mac) to show hidden folders 3. Navigate to ~/.claude/projects/ 4. Find your project folder and use Cursor/VSCode to open it (there's a reason) 5. Install the JSONL Gazelle plugin (open source, thank you Gabor Cselle!) 6. Open the most recent JSONL file - each row is a message in your conversation 7. Run the compact command in Claude Code with custom instructions 8. Watch what happens in the file What I learned: When you compact, Claude Code doesn't just summarize and delete everything. It creates a "compact boundary" in the conversation file, writes a summary of what happened before, but keeps the full original conversation (!!!!) The new thread can still retrieve any details from before compaction if needed. That is so damn cool. Why this matters: What you're getting in Claude Code is similar to what Anthropic ships in their developer SDK - so inspecting your daily tools is how you build real product intuition. The best way to understand AI systems is to open them up and look inside. Everything is text files.
