Claude Code Knowledge Base Workflow

This post shares an idea: instead of just using AI to write code, use it to build a "second brain." You can point Claude Code to a knowledge base folder, drop in articles, podcast transcripts, PDFs, and other materials, and let it read, associate, and archive the content into a continuously growing wiki.

The specific process outlined is: install Obsidian, create a vault, open it with Claude Code, and have it build a three-tier structure: "raw / wiki / CLAUDE.md". Afterward, place source materials into the raw directory, use commands like "ingest this" to import them, and finally, conduct continuous Q&A across all materials.

The quoted text also mentions the article "The Open Knowledge Format, Explained." It proposes an open specification that packages the knowledge an AI agent truly needs into pure Markdown, aiming to replace fragmented knowledge repositories within teams that are difficult for AI to use directly.
