I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet.
Andrej Karpathy (OpenAI co-founder) tossed out a deceptively simple take that exploded online:
Quit using AI as a code typist.
Use it as your memory amplifier.
Aim Claude Code at a folder. Toss in anything articles, transcripts, PDFs, random notes.
Claude reads, cross-references, and organizes it into a living wiki of what you’ve learned.
It snowballs. Every new thing you add makes the whole system more useful.
The setup:
1) Install Obsidian
2) Make a vault
3) Open that vault in Claude Code
4) Paste Karpathy’s “wiki” concept and tell Claude to implement it
5) Claude creates three pieces:
- raw (incoming sources)
- wiki (generated pages)
- CLAUDE.md (the instructions that drive the workflow)
6) Drop any file into raw and say: ingest this
7) Query across your entire archive—anytime, indefinitely
Five minutes of prep, and you’re done starting over from empty chats.
