Context engineering trick: feed LLMs only what changed, via Obsidian edit snapshots
thejaan · x · 2026-09-24
Jaan Altosaar shares his context engineering trick: high-quality LLM output doesn't come from feeding the model all your notes, but only what changed — think track changes. He uses Obsidian, which already snapshots every edit, and built a plugin that compiles a week of those edits into a single file that any LLM can consume to surface connections across his journals.
