I Built My Second Brain with Claude Code + Obsidian + Skills (Here's How)

From the creator

Check out Zapier to build automations with thousands of apps and include them as capabilities in your agents with MCP: https://bit.ly/4q5Xbwd Claude Code is so much more than just a coding tool, and I'm going to show you exactly what I mean. And yes, this is taking things much further than Cowork. I've built my entire second brain around Claude Code, Skills, and Obsidian. Claude Code is my workhorse - it does the heavy lifting. Obsidian is my canvas - where everything gets organized and refined. And Skills are what download the right knowledge into Claude's brain exactly when it needs it. In this video, I'll show you how I use dozens of different skills to help me constantly research, ideate, and organize. Building your second brain has an insane RIO - it's all about having your agent handle the grunt work so you can focus on the creative stuff that actually matters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - The Dynamous Agentic Coding Course is now FULLY released - learn how to build reliable and repeatable systems for AI coding: https://dynamous.ai/agentic-coding-course - GitHub repo with the skills I show here for my second brain: https://github.com/coleam00/second-brain-skills - Claude Skills Guide: https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/equipping-agents-for-the-real-world-with-agent-skills - Obsidian: https://obsidian.md/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0:00 Introducing Claude Code as a Second Brain 4:32 The Power of Coding Agents 6:27 Using Obsidian for Local Knowledge 7:35 Agent Skills and Progressive Disclosure 12:09 Use These Skills Yourself! 13:43 Generating Your Brand Voice 15:49 Dynamic PowerPoint Creation 17:08 Connecting MCP Servers as Skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI.
