Personal Vault

A personal knowledge base that ingests notes and documents and interlinks them into a navigable wiki, following Karpathy's 'LLM wiki' pattern.

Obsidian Claude Code agent LLM

Problem

Personal notes, ideas, and documents accumulate faster than they can be organized, and manual note-taking rarely produces a system that stays useful over time.

Approach

Paired Obsidian with a Claude Code agent: an append-only raw inbox feeds an LLM-curated wiki with entity schemas for clients, projects, people, and concepts, wikilinks and a graph view, and slash commands for ingesting, querying, and linting the vault.

Result

A living personal wiki with strict data-governance constraints, used daily to search, brief, and disambiguate across a growing base of notes.
