/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.mdat 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.
