/second-brain — Karpathy LLM Wiki workflow

Wraps an existing Second Brain in Obsidian (or any markdown-based vault). The wiki vault's CLAUDE.md is the authoritative schema — the skill orchestrates the operations the user has been doing manually.

Mental model

Three layers, each with a clear role:

raw/      →  wiki/         →  outputs/
sources      compiled         generated
                              artifacts
  • raw/ — unprocessed source material. Articles, highlights, ideas, braindumps, tweets. Type-prefixed (article-, idea-, highlights-, braindump-, note-, resource-, tweet-). Never deleted — source of truth.
  • wiki/ — AI-compiled topic pages. One page per concept, not per source. Interlinked via [[wikilinks]]. INDEX.md at root.
  • outputs/ — generated artifacts from queries: research summaries, analyses, slide decks. Named descriptively.

Folders to leave alone during wiki ops: Projects/, Daily/, Templates/, Inbox/, Notes/, Tasks.md, Kanban.md, Home.md.
