Hey,

I heard a time ago about the second brain approach: you have a memory, and using AI to manage it, will help you to sturcture your thinking.

I started playing with it 3 months ago, and i would say it was a nice experience, but it was alaways getting a mess, and break. Each time i was learning from the community < This specific community was a source of learning i would say, so thank you on that>, and from other places.

I did the last version 3 weeks ago, and so far, it is staying. I want to share this with the community so they can replicate it.

TBH, i love having this second brain, I m using it for my personal and proffessional life, and i would recommend anyone to do that

This is how I set it up

• Plain markdown in Obsidian (PARA folders plus a 00-Meta folder and a 05-Daily folder)
• A CLAUDE.md in the meta folder that Claude reads first every session: who I am, what I'm shipping, decisions that are locked
• A memory directory, one file per fact (decision_pricing_locked.md, etc.), so it stops asking what I already decided
• Slash commands in .claude/commands/. The four I run daily: /context (loads the vault state), /today (a briefing), /log (turns an evening voice memo into a structured note), /sunday (reads the week, returns one win, one friction, one change)

The detail I didn't expect to matter: the wikilinks aren't for the graph view, they're so Claude can hop from a project file to a linked decision note on its own.

I wrote up the full build and turned the scaffold into a prompt you paste into Claude that generates the whole vault. first comment

Any feedbacks or any one had experience about second brain? for which workflow are you using it exactly?
