Awesome Second Brain

Awesome Second Brain vault — Obsidian-based personal knowledge system for work notes, decisions, performance tracking, and Claude context.

Rules

• Never modify .obsidian/ config files unless explicitly asked.
• Preserve existing frontmatter when editing notes.
• Git sync is handled by the user's preferred method (obsidian-git, manual commits, etc.) -- don't configure git hooks or auto-commit.
• When asked to "remember" something, write to the relevant brain/ topic note with a link to context. Never create memory files in ~/.claude/ -- they are not version-controlled.
• Prefer Obsidian CLI over filesystem when Obsidian is running.
• Skills are in .claude/skills/. Load a skill's SKILL.md on demand when the relevant operation is needed — do not preload all skills.
• Always check for and suggest connections between notes.
• Every note must have a description field (~150 chars). Claude fills this automatically.
• Zero data loss: when reorganizing, always use git mv (or your file manager if not using git). Never delete without explicit user confirmation.
• North Star: Read brain/NORTH_STAR.md at session start. Reference it when suggesting priorities or trade-offs. Update it when the user signals a shift in goals.

Skills & Capabilities

This vault has obsidian-skills installed in .claude/skills/. Follow these skill conventions:

• obsidian-markdown: Obsidian-flavored markdown -- wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties. Always prefer [[wikilinks]] over markdown links.
• obsidian-cli: CLI commands for vault operations when Obsidian is running.
• json-canvas: Create .canvas files with nodes, edges, and visual layouts.
• obsidian-bases: Create .base files with views, filters, and formulas. Bases core plugin is enabled.
• defuddle: Extract clean markdown from web pages via defuddle parse <url> --md.
• qmd: Semantic search across the vault via QMD. Use PROACTIVELY before reading files -- qmd query "..." for hybrid search, qmd search "..." for keyword, qmd vsearch "..." for semantic. Falls back to grep/glob if QMD not installed.
• project-management: Create, track, and archive domain-scoped projects. Aggregates tasks from all sources into dashboards/TASKS.md with bidirectional sync.
• daily-rituals: Structured daily and weekly planning cycle. Enhances /open-day and /close-day with daily notes in plan/. Adds /week-prep, /week-close (with synthesis), and /week-cycle.
• create-agent: Create and validate Domain Agents — interactive, domain-bound agents for focused context work.
• prompts: Search, promote, and demote atomic prompt pages. Dormant prompts live in docs/prompts/; promoted ones get a /prompts:<slug> command.
• strategy: Search, promote, and demote reasoning strategy pages. Dormant strategies live in docs/strategies/; promoted ones get a /thinking:<slug> command.
