I've built an Obsidian plugin, CLI and MCP server to define note types in Obsidian. All metadata and tags documented, folder paths, templates, default values, required and optional fields etc. Now AI can perfectly understand my vault and notes. It puts them where they belong, use the right templates and metadata, etc. Huge leap forward in terms of quality and consistency.

The simplest knowledge management workflow that actually works: 1. Capture everything in one place 2. Process daily (5 min) 3. Connect ideas weekly (15 min) 4. Review monthly (30 min) No complex systems. No 47-step workflows. Start here before adding complexity.

If you're in a team and don't yet have a shared AI context, wtf are you doing?!!

Defensive Attribution The worse the outcome, the more we blame the person responsible; especially when we can't see ourselves in their shoes. This bias distorts how we judge others. Awareness is the antidote. concepts.dsebastien.net/concept/defens…

If you feel overwhelmed by your notes, the problem is almost never the volume. The problem is that nothing has a job. Every note tries to be an archive, a draft, a task, a reference. Nothing is ever done. Inside Knowii we teach a simple rule: every note does one thing. dsebastien.net/join-the-knowi…

Knowii is where I help people build that system. You get all my courses, templates, methods, and a community of 375+ people on the same journey. One membership. Everything I create. Past, present, and future. store.dsebastien.net/product/knowii…

Most people consume tons of content but retain almost nothing. They bookmark articles, save videos, highlight books. Then never look at any of it again. The problem is not a lack of information. It is a lack of system.

@theostowell I can understand why. Obsidian Starter Kit V4 is the perfect combo with Hermes, Pi and the like. Very few people see it :)

This makes me very, very, very excited

Reading without engaging is just moving your eyes across a page. Taking notes, linking ideas, testing yourself; that is where real learning happens. Your knowledge system should support all four pillars. Not just store information.

The four pillars of learning, according to neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene: 1. Attention 2. Active engagement 3. Error feedback 4. Consolidation Notice what is NOT on this list: passive consumption.

• Obsidian Bases for filtered views (reading, finished, wishlists) Every book becomes a set of linked notes that enrich everything else in your vault. Full walkthrough: youtube.com/watch?v=25t6vq…

How I use Obsidian to track every book I read: • One note per book with metadata (author, status, rating, cover, ...) • Atomic notes for the best ideas from each book • Wikilinks connecting insights across books and topics

"Sometimes magic is just someone spending more time on something than anyone else might reasonably expect." This is the secret behind every great knowledge system, every polished product, every piece of writing that lands. Not talent. Time. Obsessive, unreasonable time. Keep building.

I keep thinking about this and about all the different lives we can pack into a single one

@evielync I have a few but mostly rely on the skills directly ^^

Ok we are definitely thinking along the same lines and I’m glad for the sanity check. I’ve got one main agent that accesses all the skill I’ve been building (which I now have 50+). And that covers admin, content, strategy. I’ve been wondering whether to setup a separate content agent - but honestly I just can’t be bothered. I’ve dialled in Chad to work so well with me that I don’t want to start agin with another. But wondered if it would be worth it to have laser focus on just content. Do you just have one for everything. Or a few in play?

I'm going between having one all purpose agent with a bunch of skills that covers all parts of the business. OR Building specific agents for different roles in the business that are hyper-specific. Anyone have an opinion/experience on why one is better than the other. I'm leaning towards one - because I hardly want to manage a bunch of humans let alone a bunch of agents?
