Six folders, one context file, a memory directory, and a handful of slash commands. The exact setup, in build order.
TL;DR
A second brain fails when notes pile up and nobody reads them again. The fix is a layer underneath the notes that an LLM reads for you.
This is the setup I built in about a day and have run for two weeks: PARA folders, a CLAUDE.md context file, a memory directory, and slash commands.
Obsidian holds the markdown. Claude Code reads it, writes to it, and runs commands against it.
