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,...

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.

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.

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.

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.

THIS GUY BUILT A GOD-MODE SECOND BRAIN IN 3 STEPS THAT GETS SMARTER EVERY SINGLE DAY AND 10X HIS RESEARCH! Everyone hoards notes they never reopen, but he turned the dead pile into a brain that actually reads itself back, in three steps: > download Obsidian, make a vault, and point Claude Code at the folder > create two folders inside, raw-sources for everything you dump in and wiki where Claude writes the organized version, then drop in Andrej Karpathy's prompt > throw in every article, book note, meeting transcript and piece of research you ever saved and forgot Then you stop searching and start asking the wiki, "what are the gaps in my knowledge", "write me a briefing on this topic", and Claude pulls from your whole vault and answers with citations. Everyone copies the folders, but the part that actually matters is what happens next, every answer gets written back into the wiki and a weekly health check hunts for contradictions and outdated info, so it is not storage you query, it is a brain that compounds every day you use it. The full step by step guide with the Karpathy prompt and the .md files is in the article below.👇 P.S. you can send this article straight to your Claude to get the full context

YOU CAN BUILD AN AI SECOND BRAIN IN 15 MINUTES. No coding experience. No $1000 course. Here is the entire setup. Step 1: Download Claude Desktop. Step 2: Download Obsidian. Step 3: Create a new vault and start dropping .MD files into it. Step 4: Tell Claude Code to connect to your vault using 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 reads all of it, finds connections you missed, and surfaces insights from your own thinking that you FORGOT you had. Most people use Claude as a search engine. The people building second brains use it as an INTELLIGENCE LAYER on top of everything they know. That gap 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. Follow CyrilXBT

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

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.

THIS GUY BUILT A BUSINESS SECOND BRAIN WITH CLAUDE CODE + OBSIDIAN IN 3 STEPS Most teams do not need another Notion workspace. They need a place where the company can remember how it works. The video shows a simple setup: 1. Create one empty folder called second brain. 2. Split it into 3 buckets: raw new knowledge wiki 3. Let Claude Code turn messy company material into connected notes. The useful part is the separation. Raw is where your existing stuff goes: SOPs, sales docs, process notes, client delivery checklists, old Loom summaries, onboarding docs. New knowledge is where fresh outside material lands: articles, clips, tactics, examples, market notes. Wiki is the cleaned version: concepts, roles, processes, SOPs, gaps, reusable decisions. That is where Claude Code becomes more useful than a normal chat window. Instead of asking it to remember random context forever, you give it a folder it can read, edit, and reorganize. Then Obsidian becomes the human interface. The Obsidian Web Clipper captures useful pages into the vault. Claude Code ingests them. The wiki gets updated. Then you can ask questions like: “Does my current workflow actually hold up?” That is the real point. Not “AI notes.” A business memory system that can compare what you do today against new information tomorrow. The caveat: this is not magic company intelligence. If your raw docs are vague, outdated, or full of tribal knowledge, Claude will organize weak inputs into cleaner weak outputs. You still need naming rules, review habits, and someone responsible for deleting junk. But the setup is refreshingly practical. Folder first. Clipper second. Claude Code as the maintainer. No giant knowledge base migration. No complex setup. Just a local vault that can slowly turn scattered business memory into something searchable, editable, and actually reusable.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet. Andrej Karpathy, OpenAI co-founder, posted a simple idea that went massively viral: Stop using AI to write code. Use it to build a second brain. You point Claude Code at a folder. Drop in any source: an article, a transcript, a PDF. Claude reads it, links it, files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest. The more you feed it, the smarter it gets. Here's the whole thing: 1) Install Obsidian 2) Create a vault 3) Open it in Claude Code 4) Paste Karpathy's wiki idea and tell Claude to build it 5) Claude makes three folders: - raw (for sources) - wiki (for its pages) - CLAUDE. md (that runs it) 6) Drop any source into raw and say: "ingest this" 7) Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up and you never start from a blank chat again. Full step by step guide below.

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.

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.

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.

OBSIDIAN'S CEO AND ANDREJ KARPATHY JUST QUIETLY KILLED THE SECOND BRAIN INDUSTRY. IT STARTED AS A SINGLE GIST. 21 MILLION PEOPLE READ IT BEFORE ANYONE NOTICED WHAT IT ACTUALLY MEANT 42,000 stars. 5 skill files. 0 databases the idea: stop treating your notes like a diary. treat them like a codebase. Obsidian is the editor. Claude Code is the engineer. your notes are the thing being built three commands run the whole thing. one drops in anything - a video, a PDF, a random thought - and splits it into small linked pieces that plug straight into what you already wrote one lets you ask a question and get an answer pulled from your own words, your own pages, not a guess from a model that's never met you. one runs quietly every week, hunts down the notes that contradict each other, deletes what's gone stale, and reconnects the orphaned pages nobody linked back then the Obsidian CEO shipped something that wasn't an "AI button" - five small skill files that teach Claude to speak Obsidian's own language natively. no broken links. no messy imports 42,000 stars. weeks old Karpathy pointed the whole thing at 100 of his own articles. 400,000 words. longer than most PhD dissertations. he didn't write it. it links itself. it audits itself. it never sleeps no vector db. no subscription. no chunking config. no reranker. just folders of text and an agent that does the one job humans always quit halfway through - keeping the filing system honest most vaults are graveyards. this one reads itself before you wake up

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

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.

Fable 5 and Karpathy's knowledge base trick are basically a cheat code. Someone just dropped a full walkthrough on building the most powerful second brain ever Andrej Karpathy shared a simple idea: use an LLM to build personal knowledge bases. Index your sources, let the model organize them, and use Obsidian as the front end. Someone just built the full thing with Claude Code and Fable 5, and walked through every step You drop your sources into a folder (YouTube transcripts, PDFs, articles, meeting notes) and Claude Code reads them, splits them into linked wiki pages, and builds a living second brain that connects everything. It grows on its own as you add more. Where Fable 5 pulls ahead: it found a connection buried across two sources you'd miss reading them separately. And asked to turn the messy web of links into something a beginner could understand, it produced clean, simple HTML in one shot. The same task took a full day on Opus 4.8 and came out worse. The best part: it's all just markdown files with routing. So it's not locked to Claude Code. Plug it into Codex or any agent you want. Give your AI a real knowledge base, and it stops guessing and starts knowing. Bookmark this.
