Second Brain Starter Kit with Niketh

AI Second Brain Starter Kit (Obsidian + Claude Code)

Stop explaining your work to AI from scratch every time. This kit is an Obsidian vault already set up for Claude Code: a rules file that tells Claude who you are and how to help, folders for your projects and notes, and 12 skills for the jobs you do every week.

What you can do with it:

- Ask "what should I work on today?" and get three tasks based on your own goals

- Paste a YouTube link or article and get a clean note, with reusable quotes saved and credited

- Ask what your notes say about a topic and get an answer that links back to those notes

- Talk through a decision and get one clear recommendation, logged so you don't re-argue it next week

- Draft posts, emails and scripts in your own voice, then strip out the AI-sounding phrases

- Connect tools like Notion or your calendar with MCP, step by step

What's inside:

- 12 Claude Code skills: set-up-my-brain, new-project, plan-my-day, save-what-i-watch, ask-my-brain, process-inbox, make-a-decision, write-in-my-voice, remove-ai-slop, connect-a-tool, weekly-review, brain-health-check

- A CLAUDE.md rules template with routing rules already written

- PROMPTS.md with 37 copy-paste prompts

- A goals and strategy page, decision log, voice guide and Insight Bank

- Templates for daily plans, weekly reviews, decisions and notes

- A filled-in example, so you can see what a finished setup looks like

- An MCP cheat sheet for connecting outside tools

What you need:

- Obsidian (free)

- Claude Code, which needs a paid Claude plan (Pro or above)

- About 20 minutes to set up

How to start: unzip the folder, open it in Obsidian with "Open folder as vault", open Claude Code inside it and run /set-up-my-brain. The README walks you through the rest.

Your notes stay as plain files on your computer. Anything Claude reads is sent to Anthropic, so keep passwords and API keys out of your notes.
