SOMEONE FROM THE ANTHROPIC TEAM LEAKED THEIR OBSIDIAN SETUP. 8 MILLION PEOPLE SAW HOW HE ACTUALLY USES CLAUDE
the funniest part? all of this information was sitting in claude's documentation from day one. nobody read it
one guy did, packed it into a 9-step guide and posted it. and it broke the internet. 4,100 likes, 800 retweets, then china picked it up and 8 million views
want to know what's in it?
one file. called CLAUDE.md. it holds everything about you: how you think, what you're working on, where you get stuck, even how you want the ai to talk to you. claude reads it first every single session
one file changed everything. because now ai doesn't open with "how can i help?" it already knows. it remembers your projects, sees your goals, catches moments where you're contradicting yourself
people spent years searching for the perfect prompt. the right temperature. the magic formula. and the answer turned out to be not how you ask ai. but what ai knows about you before you even open your mouth
then the guy went deeper. taught claude to work on a schedule. every morning at 7am the ai walks through all notes on its own, finds new stuff, links it, cleans what's stale. no command. no reminder
and all of this runs on obsidian. free app. text files on your drive. no cloud, no lock-in. switch models tomorrow and the folder keeps working
the most liked comment under the original post: "this is the difference between using ai and building a system. most people won't realize it until they waste hundreds of hours repeating themselves"
hundreds of hours. you've already spent some of them
full guide in the video. i break down finds like this every day - follow so you don't miss the next one
ONE OF ANTHROPIC'S CODERS SHARED HIS "SECOND BRAIN" HE'S BEEN BUILDING FOR 3 MONTHS. I WASN'T READY FOR WHAT I SAW
he didn't post this on twitter. didn't make a thread. didn't record a youtube video. just showed me on a call and said "look what i've got"
when i opened it - 2000+ notes. all connected to each other. looked like a map of the universe
and at the center of it all - one file. CLAUDE.md
it's not a prompt. it's a full profile of a person. who he is. how he thinks. what he's working on. where he gets stuck. how he wants the AI to talk to him. even his weaknesses
claude reads this file first. every time. automatically. never starts a conversation from zero
i asked him "so what did this change?"
he said: "i stopped spending time explaining. now i spend time thinking"
but that's just the beginning. every project has its own folder. clean structure. when he works on something - claude only sees that project. not the entire chaos
anything he does more than once is saved as a skill. one line and claude does it his way
and at 7am every day claude walks through the entire vault on its own. finds new stuff. links it. cleans what's stale. writes him 3 lines: what changed overnight
he wakes up and the brain already worked
and here's what got me the most: it's all just text files. no cloud. no subscription. no dependency on one service. if a better model drops tomorrow he just points it at the same folder
he basically uploaded himself into a file system. and now AI doesn't guess who he is. AI knows
most people use claude like google with manners. this guy built himself an external memory that grows every day
full breakdown in the video
tomorrow i'll show how i set this up myself in one evening. if you don't follow - you won't see it
