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...

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 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.

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.

THIS GUY BUILT A CLAUDE CODE X OBSIDIAN MAP OF HIS ENTIRE CONTENT SYSTEM This is the useful version of “AI second brain.” Not dumping more notes. Not asking Claude for a prettier folder system. Not making a canvas because it looks smart. In the video, he points Claude Code at his Obsidian setup and shows a visual map of the actual content pipeline: Analysis Ideation Prep Scripting Prep Performance The interesting part is the shape. Each stage is connected to the next one. Some boxes show sub-processes. One section shows a router detecting content type and routing a short into the next step. There are references attached to the flow. That is a real payoff: you stop treating your vault like storage and start treating it like an inspectable machine. The move is simple: 1. Put the real workflow in markdown 2. Let Claude Code inspect the vault 3. Ask it to find stages, dependencies, and missing links 4. Turn the output into an Obsidian map 5. Use the map to see what is manual, duplicated, or broken This works because Claude Code is not just summarizing a note. It can read across prompts, docs, scripts, references, and messy process files, then expose the structure you stopped seeing. That is why the demo hits. The video is not really about “better note-taking.” It is about making your private operating system visible enough to debug. Caveat: a beautiful graph does not mean you have a working system. If the notes are vague, the map will be vague. If the process is fake, Claude will draw a fake process very cleanly. If nothing feeds back into performance, the canvas is just decoration. But if the vault already contains real work, Claude Code x Obsidian becomes a powerful audit tool. Your notes stop being a pile. They become a map of what you actually do.

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.

THIS GUY TURNED ONE OBSIDIAN VAULT INTO A SHARED BRAIN FOR 5 CLAUDE AGENTS BUILT TO HANDLE 80% OF A SOLO DEVELOPER’S WORK. 00:03 he zooms out and hundreds of connected notes appear on screen. it is the perfect visual for Claude working from one shared project memory instead of starting from zero every session. most developers give Claude 1 file and 1 prompt. this setup gives it the architecture, coding rules, tests, client briefs, and previous decisions before it writes anything. obsidian becomes the memory layer, storing everything in markdown files Claude can read alongside the codebase. every agent works from the same context instead of repeating the same questions. then 5 specialists split the job. one researches, one plans, one codes, one reviews, and one deploys while the developer only controls the important decisions. one vault, 5 agents, 2 model tiers, and a $50 to $150 monthly stack can turn Claude from a chatbot into a small development team.

Obsidian CEO actually released the skill that lets your AI agent run your entire vault for you. It's called obsidian-skills. Install it into Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode, and your agent can read, create, search, and organize notes directly, plus handle Markdown, Bases, and Canvas files without you touching a thing. This is the missing piece for an AI second brain. Your notes live in Obsidian, and now the agent actually knows how to work them. Want the full picture? We broke down how to build a complete AI second brain from scratch in the article below.

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

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.

The "Karpathy Method" Obsidian + Claude Code is quietly replacing $15/month note apps for 1000s of builders. The setup costs $0. Takes 10 minutes. And it's stupidly simple. Karpathy stores his entire brain in plain markdown files. No Notion. No database. A folder. People mocked it for years. Then Claude Code shipped an agent that lives in the terminal and reads files natively. Obsidian IS files. Notion hides your notes behind an API. Obsidian hands them to the agent raw. The "boomer stack" turned out to be the only one AI can walk through end to end. The method, 4 steps: Open your vault folder in terminal. Type claude. The agent now sees 100% of your notes. Drop a CLAUDE.md at the root. 40 lines: how you tag, how you link, what a good note looks like. Your brain's operating manual. Run 1 nightly job. Claude reads the day's dump links, highlights, half-thoughts and files it into atomic notes with backlinks. Once a week, ask 1 question: "what connects that I haven't connected?" Old notes collide into ideas you'd never find alone. A builder running this loop hit 4,120 notes in 5 months. Found 2 essay ideas in the collisions. Sold both for $3,400. Hardware: a $599 Mac Mini. Software: a folder. The industry spent 10 years building smarter note apps. Karpathy bet on the file. The file won.

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.

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.

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👇

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.

YOU CLOSE THE TAB AND FORGET YOUR OBSIDIAN NOTES TOMORROW. HERE IS THE BREAK-OUT HARNESS. i spent four years clipping articles into obsidian, tagging notes manually, and building a giant graph visualization. six months later, i had 400 notes i never opened again. it was not a second brain. it was a folder full of digital guilt. then an engineer showed me why notes fail: if every chat starts from zero, your AI is just an expensive intern with amnesia. here is the exact 3-layer obsidian architecture that turns passive notes into an active memory layer for AI agents: 1. human memory layer (messy & raw) › keep your raw thoughts, personal doubts, unpolished meeting clips, and half-formed ideas completely human-centric. › preserves the authentic soul of your thinking without forcing you to act like a full-time librarian after work. 2. agent memory layer (structured & machine-readable) › maintain explicit markdown files for active project goals, decision logs, style constraints, and reusable prompts. › provides claude and local coding agents with instant, deterministic state so every chat continues where you left off. 3. deterministic index map (_index navigation) › place single-line map indexes inside _index/ folders so agents locate relevant files in a single prompt lookup. › prevents the LLM from searching thousands of raw notes and turning your vault into unstructured prompt slop. 90% of creators will keep building static note graveyards. the 1% who build a dual-layer AI memory vault will win. save this post before you close your current obsidian session and lose your context architecture.

I built a form-filling agent that anyone can use 💫 This is an extremely simple but useful (I hope) app. Upload a fillable form 📋, some context files, and chat with the agent to fill the form out automatically ✍️ 1️⃣ Yes it is a Claude Code SDK wrapper 2️⃣ It is better and faster than ChatGPT/Claude UI out of the box 3️⃣ We use LlamaParse to parse the context files, so you can have more trust that we are able to read context without hallucinations (e.g. messy scanned handwriting, drivers license photo, and more). This was one of my holiday Claude Code vibe-coding projects. Built with Opus 4.5, and also powered by Opus 4.5. Feeling the AGI 🫡 App is here: Repo is open-source:

Most people use Claude Code like a chatbot. That is the mistake. The real power is not in better prompts. It is in controlling the session. /init gives the project memory. /memory keeps the rules alive. /clear removes old context. /compact saves the important parts. /context shows where the tokens go. /rewind fixes bad turns. /plan stops blind edits. /model matches the brain to the task. Claude Code gets 10x better when you stop letting the conversation run itself. Memory. Context. Boundaries. Rollback. Planning. That is the system. Stop asking Claude Code to “just do it”. Teach it what to remember, what to forget, and when to stop. Bookmark this before your next session turns into 40 messages of context debt.

A GUY MAKING $100K/MONTH WITH AI JUST SHOWED HIS ENTIRE SETUP. IT'S ONE FOLDER OF NOTES AND NOTHING ELSE no framework. no $500 course. he opens his screen and it's just obsidian - a plain notes app - wired into claude here's what he did: -> he pulled claude's memory files out of their default folder and dumped them into one vault -> had claude rename and merge them: 107 messy files collapsed into 17 clean ones -> every folder gets one master note that links to all the others that last part is the whole trick the agent reads the master note, follows the links and by the time it's done it has read every file in the folder. one instruction, full context here's the part most people miss: everyone's trying to make the AI smarter. he made the AI's memory smaller fewer files, better organized, all linked. the agent isn't scanning hundreds of notes anymore - it walks a path you built that's why his agent actually finishes jobs instead of forgetting what it was doing halfway through then he goes one step further: at the end of every session, the agent writes its own daily note. what it did, when, indexed at the top so it can find it again in seconds so he never re-explains anything. the agent looks up what it already did now he types "create a campaign for this offer" and walks away. it reads the product notes, reads the process notes, and comes back with the campaign done you don't need any of the complicated agent tools people are selling you. you need structure and instructions save this. the people winning with AI aren't using better models. they're just the only ones who bothered to organize what it remembers

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.
