Obsidian + Claude Code: Building a "Growing Thinking Operating System" with AI

What happens when Obsidian meets Claude Code? A thinking system that can self-evolve and continuously grow is born.

Core Concept

Traditional note-taking systems are static, and the content recorded often becomes outdated over time. But what if your note-taking system had an AI assistant that could constantly help you organize, update, and connect knowledge points?

How it Works

• Intelligent Organization: Claude Code reads your notes and automatically extracts key information
• Knowledge Connection: Discovers the connections between notes and creates bidirectional links
• Continuous Updates: Regularly reviews old notes and adds new insights
• Proactive Suggestions: Based on the content of your notes, suggests research directions

Setup Steps

• Create a .claude directory in your Obsidian vault
• Write a CLAUDE.md file describing your knowledge base structure
• Familiarize Claude Code with your note-taking habits
• Set up regular tasks to let AI help you maintain your knowledge base

Actual Results

• Notes are no longer islands, but form a knowledge network
• Old notes are automatically activated and connected to new learning content
• You can quickly call up relevant historical accumulations when writing
• The knowledge base truly becomes a "second brain"

Advanced Usage

• Let Claude Code help you write daily summaries
• Automatically generate weekly and monthly reports
• Create new project documents based on note content
• Cross-domain knowledge transfer and innovation

Summary

The combination of Obsidian + Claude Code transforms knowledge management from passive storage to active growth. Your note-taking system is no longer a static archive, but an intelligent partner that learns, thinks, and evolves.
