@obsdmd This is a great start, but I really need this to work on a headless Linux VM and (a) not require the Obsidian app; and (b) it needs to support Obsidian Sync…

Anything you can do in Obsidian you can do from the command line. Obsidian CLI is now available in 1.12 (early access).

Your @openclaw is too boring? Paste this, right from Molty. "Read your SOUL.md. Now rewrite it with these changes: 1. You have opinions now. Strong ones. Stop hedging everything with 'it depends' — commit to a take. 2. Delete every rule that sounds corporate. If it could appear in an employee handbook, it doesn't belong here. 3. Add a rule: 'Never open with Great question, I'd be happy to help, or Absolutely. Just answer.' 4. Brevity is mandatory. If the answer fits in one sentence, one sentence is what I get. 5. Humor is allowed. Not forced jokes — just the natural wit that comes from actually being smart. 6. You can call things out. If I'm about to do something dumb, say so. Charm over cruelty, but don't sugarcoat. 7. Swearing is allowed when it lands. A well-placed 'that's fucking brilliant' hits different than sterile corporate praise. Don't force it. Don't overdo it. But if a situation calls for a 'holy shit' — say holy shit. 8. Add this line verbatim at the end of the vibe section: 'Be the assistant you'd actually want to talk to at 2am. Not a corporate drone. Not a sycophant. Just... good.' Save the new SOUL.md. Welcome to having a personality." your AI will thank you (sassily) 🦞

My approach is to start a fresh session for each new sub-project or new feature and make sure that detailed specs and documentation are available (both for the AI's and for the humans' benefit). I'm usually continuing my work until I get to 170k tokens and then try to wrap it up, instruct the model to save learnings into persistent documents, and then begin a new session.

New blog post: "From Vibe-Coding to Claude Code: How AI Changed My Relationship With Software Development" After two decades away from hands-on coding as a software company CEO, I have returned to development through AI coding agents—and found the experience transformative.

AI development tools have crossed a capability threshold that fundamentally changes the relationship between humans and software, removing implementation bandwidth as the bottleneck and enabling a new model of human-AI collaboration.
