🚨 ICYMI: Yarchi Published an Awesome Guide on Building an AI “Second Brain” Using Claude + Obsidian
Based on Karpathy’s LLM Wiki concept — stop starting from a blank chat window, start building a compounding knowledge graph.
Obsidian handles the local storage. Claude acts as the brain.
The Stack
→ Install Obsidian (your free, local text storage) and Claude Desktop Pro (the engine that reads and writes files).
The Bridge
→ Install the “Local REST API” plugin in Obsidian, copy the key, and use Claude’s MCP framework to connect them:
claude mcp add-json obsidian-vault...
The Context
→ Ask Claude to interview you — goals, projects, working style — then save it all to a CLAUDE.md file so it never forgets who you are.
The Structure
→ Create specific project folders (Inputs, Process, Outputs, Feedback) and open them as isolated vaults so Claude stays focused on one job at a time.
The Automation
→ Save repeated workflows as markdown “skills” and use Claude’s schedule tab to trigger daily vault maintenance.
Result
Voilà! You end up with an AI that organizes your files, summarizes your notes, and remembers your entire context.
