How to turn saved articles into a self-linking wiki with Second Brain OS

Copy the starter vault, clip an article, and let the agent file it into linked wiki pages.

  • Top pick
  • Research
  • Intermediate
  • 60 minutes
  • From the README
  • Claude Code

Who it is forA researcher or engineer who saves articles and videos all week and never rereads them, and wants them filed and linked without manual work.

The problemBookmarks and read-later queues pile up unconnected. Filing and linking them by hand stops after a few weeks.

The outcomeA local vault of markdown files where each clipped source becomes linked wiki pages that update existing pages instead of piling up beside them.

What you need first

  • Git, to clone the repo
  • Obsidian, to open the vault as a folder
  • Claude Code, the agent the README sets up the vault around
  • A terminal, for the copy commands and for running claude

Steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/undefined-ui/second-brain-os.git
  2. cp -r second-brain-os/vault-template ~/brain
  3. mkdir -p ~/brain/.claude then cp -r second-brain-os/skills ~/brain/.claude/skills, cp -r second-brain-os/commands ~/brain/.claude/commands, cp -r second-brain-os/agents ~/brain/.claude/agents and cp -r second-brain-os/scripts ~/brain/scripts (inferred, check the README)
  4. rm ~/brain/.claude/*/README.md ~/brain/scripts/README.md
  5. cd ~/brain && claude, then clip one article into raw/ with the Web Clipper and run /ingest
  6. Open ~/brain in Obsidian with "Open folder as vault" and check the new pages and their links

Prompt for your agent

Using the second-brain-os repo, copy vault-template to ~/brain and copy skills, commands, agents and scripts into ~/brain/.claude and ~/brain/scripts. Place one article in ~/brain/raw/, run /ingest, and report the wiki pages created. Verify that every new page has at least one wikilink to another page.

Caveat. The README says the vault is built around Claude Code and Obsidian, so other agents will need the same markdown layout, and the folder READMEs must be removed so the agent does not read them as vault content.
