brain-starter

An opinionated, Claude Code-powered second brain template built on Obsidian.

What this is

A ready-to-fork template that turns a markdown vault into an AI-augmented knowledge system using Claude Code and Obsidian. Extracted from a real daily-driver vault - not a toy example.

Opinions baked in

• Everything is a markdown file - no databases, no proprietary formats, no lock-in
• Conventional commits on a knowledge repo - your brain deserves the same discipline as your code
• AI does the grunt work - classifying notes, linking projects, prepping meetings - you focus on thinking
• Obsidian is the interface, git is the backbone - version-controlled knowledge with graph view on top
• Plugins install themselves - brain-starter ships only vault-native skills; everything else is a plugin you add when you need it
