Conversational daily note creation with smart linking.

/day 

Claude will ask about your day, capture key insights, and create/update today's daily note with proper [[wiki links]] to relevant topics.

Create new atomic topic notes with proper structure.

/new "Machine Learning" /new "Product Strategy" 

Claude searches for existing related topics first, creates the new topic with the template, and adds relevant [[links]].

Research any topic using web search and create linked notes.

/research "vector databases" /research "startup fundraising strategies" 

Claude performs web searches, synthesizes findings into concise topic notes with sources and related [[links]].

Creative brainstorming using your existing vault knowledge.

/brainstorm "new features for my app" /brainstorm "content ideas for next week" 

Claude scans your vault, finds connections, and generates ideas by combining existing topics in novel ways.

Fast logging to daily notes without conversation.

/log "Met with Sarah about Q4 planning" /log "Idea: gamification for onboarding flow" 

Claude searches for existing topics, adds entry to today's daily note with proper [[links]], and creates missing topic notes if needed.

Answer questions using only your vault knowledge.

/answer "What did I learn about React hooks?" /answer "What are my thoughts on remote work?" 

Claude searches your vault and provides concise answers with [[links]] to relevant notes. If knowledge gap exists, suggests using /research.

Manage tasks in your todo.md checklist.

/task add "Review contract with legal team" /task list /task complete "Finish project proposal" 

Claude searches vault for context, adds tasks with [[wiki links]] to related topics, and manages your minimal task list.

Quick git commit and push for your vault.

/save 

Claude automatically fetches, pulls, commits with a smart message based on your changes, and pushes to remote.

Save articles, videos, or resources as linked notes.

/resource https://example.com/article /resource "YouTube video about AI agents" https://youtube.com/watch?v=... 

Claude extracts content, creates summarized resource note with key insights and [[links]] to related vault topics.

Daily Notes/ → One note per day (YYYY-MM-DD format) Topics/ → Atomic idea notes (flat structure for max connectivity) MOCs/ → Maps of Content - hub notes connecting topics Templates/ → Consistent note templates 

• Flat Topics folder - No subfolders, only [[wiki links]] for organization
• Aggressive linking - Everything connects via links, not folders
• Atomic notes - One main idea per topic
• Graph-first thinking - Structure designed for Obsidian's graph view

1. Open Obsidian
2. "Open folder as vault"
3. Select this directory
4. Start creating notes!

Open your vault directory in Claude Code and try:

/day - Create today's daily note /new "Product Market Fit" - Create a new topic /research "neural networks" - Research and create interconnected notes 

📁 .claude/ 📁 commands/ → Slash commands for Claude Code 📁 Daily Notes/ → Daily journals (auto-created) 📁 Topics/ → All your ideas, concepts, learnings (flat) 📁 MOCs/ → Maps of Content - hub notes 📁 Templates/ → Note templates 📄 CLAUDE.md → Instructions for Claude Code 📄 todo.md → Task tracking 

Use [[wiki links]] to connect notes. Don't organize by folders - organize by connections.

One main idea per topic note. Break down complex ideas into smaller, linkable concepts.

As you link topics, patterns emerge in Obsidian's graph view revealing unexpected connections.

• Bullets over paragraphs
• Fragments over complete sentences
• Dense information, minimal words
• Exception: Long-form only for external deliverables

Daily Note Template

• Today's Focus
• Notes & Thoughts
• Ideas & Insights
• Connections (links to topics)
• Quick Capture

Topic Template

• Core Idea
• Details & Context
• Related Topics (links)
• Insights & Questions
• Sources & References

The included CLAUDE.md teaches Claude Code to:

• Maintain flat Topics structure (no subfolders)
• Create atomic, well-linked notes
• Follow your personal writing style preferences
• Respect the networked thinking model
• Use proper frontmatter and metadata

✅ Link liberally - Any noun becomes a [[topic]] ✅ Review graph weekly - Discover new patterns ✅ Update MOCs as needed - They evolve with your thinking ✅ Keep notes short - Brevity over completeness ✅ Create topics daily - Build your knowledge network consistently

Feel free to:

• Modify slash commands in .claude/commands/
• Adjust templates in Templates/
• Update CLAUDE.md with your preferences
• Add your own MOCs in MOCs/

• Obsidian (free)
• Claude Code (for slash commands)
