AI FROM MY POVThe Full Setup
Everything I actually run, in the order I built it. Watch the walkthrough, then build it one piece at a time.
The episodes, in order
- 01Set Up an Obsidian Vault with Claude — the Easy WayYou don't need to become an Obsidian power user. Download the app, point Claude at the folder, paste one setup prompt, and let your AI build the whole vault and keep it organized. Here's the easy way, end to end.
- 02Turn Your Vault Into a Knowledge Graph Claude Can TraverseA vault of linked notes is the raw material. The real leap is a graph your AI can walk — asking how ideas connect, not just searching for keywords. Here's how to build it with Claude and plain files, no special tool required.
- 03Build a Memory Pipeline So Your AI Stops Forgetting YouEvery new session, your AI starts blank — it doesn't remember what you fixed, decided, or learned last time. Fix it with a two-step loop: save lessons to small files after each session, load them back in at the start of the next. Here's how to build it with nothing but Claude and plain files.
- 04Write a Rules File So Your AI Stops Making the Same Mistake TwiceTired of repeating the same instructions every session? A rules file (CLAUDE.md) is where you write your preferences, standards, and hard-won lessons once — and your AI follows them automatically, every time, without you asking.
- 05Stop Re-Explaining Yourself — Package It as a SkillEvery time you catch yourself typing the same multi-step instructions into your AI, that's a skill waiting to be written. Do it once, name it, and your AI runs the whole thing correctly on its own from then on.
- 06Stop Making One AI Do Everything — Use Subagents InsteadOne AI doing every step runs out of context and works slow, one thing at a time. The fix: hand off scoped tasks to subagents — each with a clean context — and send the right model to each job. Here's how to actually do it.
- 07Connect Your AI to Your Real Tools with MCPYour AI is brilliant inside the chat and useless outside it — until you connect it to your real tools. MCP is the open standard that gives it hands: a browser, a database, an API. Here's how it works and how to try it, end to end.
- 08The Full Setup — How Six Pieces Become One AI SystemA vault, a graph, memory, rules, skills, agents, and MCPs — seven episodes, six pieces. Here's how they connect into one system, and the order to build it in.
