Who else is using Obsidian for project management? Of course, it's much cleaner to use a dedicated software like Things3. Since I am a #GTD user, that's my favorite one by far. But now that I have fallen in love with Obsidian and Markdown, and granola, adding all my meeting transcripts to it.. it is a superpower, guys. So I'm testing if I can manage projects directly from @obsdmd . What's your experience?

@tabrezsyed @WhoIsFishie The memory loss is an issue still though. vastly fixed. Came up with an idea after reading a book, and if this works, it will fix a lot of issues with memory and agent drift.

Just checked how my Local Knowldge Base is. At first! OH NO. LOL BUT this really helps, because, whenever I ask, give me parameters for fiber laser for paper cutting.. It will hit my local mac mini --(lobster). Retrieval is instant.

@jessfraz Wire it into Obsidian and your second brain starts growing on its own. Got gws pulling email, summarizing it into vault notes, and pushing calendar events — all in one conversation without leaving the terminal. Wrote up the full workflow: mandalivia.com/obsidian/gmail…

I made a cli last night for the api behind my Pilates studio so when I book classes, I can have the Google workspace CLI add it to my calendar because they don’t automatically do that and yes, I know it’s stupid that they don’t do that not that I made this

@0xEbaad I invert it — have Claude run my life through Obsidian. Built a GTD coach skill that reviews all open projects, flags stale ones, and pushes me for next actions. Full writeup: mandalivia.com/obsidian/weekl…

@anesmithbeck Giving it a weekly skill that scans my vault projects and forces triage — what's stale, what's blocked, what moves forward. Turns out the review loop matters more than the initial sort. Wrote up the setup: mandalivia.com/obsidian/weekl…

I’m still new to Claude Code, but it’s been a huge unlock for me as a non-technical user. Here are the most valuable, non-generic things I’ve learned so far:

@kepano I wonder if you can start to use the nano-gemini built into Chrome. Free/Local LLM for these kinds of tasks?

One thing that makes Obsidian Reader insanely difficult is that websites are full of bugs and bad HTML/metadata that I have to work around e.g. here New Scientist defined author as "#author.fullName}" in the metadata but Obsidian Reader still gets the correct one

This is exactly what I've been building on top of. I have a full skill system in my Obsidian vault — blog writing pipeline, Twitter content generation, research workflows — all powered by Claude Code reading my vault as context. The key insight is that .md files in a well-structured vault ARE the perfect agent memory. Your official skills make the foundation much more solid than my hacky AGENTS.md approach.

@cmgmyr Same here. My "second brain" has become a "shared brain" with Claude Code. - content, project review, history collector, etc

I started an Obsidian vault for personal notes in early 2024. It now runs my content pipeline on Sunday nights, tracks patterns across my work for performance reviews, and drafts my weekly review. I didn't plan any of that. Each piece just solved the next annoying problem 😅

@maxlxxiv Same problem, different stack. Benchmarked Grep, OmniSearch, and QMD on a 2,400-note vault — BM25 vs vector vs hybrid gave surprisingly different results depending on query type. Wrote up the tradeoffs if useful: mandalivia.com/obsidian/seman…

@WhoIsFishie obsidian is used to "wiki link". No node limit so far. for memory retrieval, this is key over the past three months my focus: so now i have virtually a agent that remembers everything. QMD for index LEANN for contextual search LCM skill replaced the previous Zvec.

@gpt_alex @tobi @obisidan This one isn’t a copy of granola. I was largely inspired by obsidian, para, qmd, and @every ‘s awesome monologue speech to text app, which I’m increasingly using instead of wisprflow. I spend all my time working in codex and Claude code and wanted something that worked via cli.

Now paying Granola $18/mo to upload my meeting audio to their servers. So I built my own thing. It's 7 MB. Everything runs locally. Works with @tobi's QMD for super fast search, PARA method second brain setup for organized people, projects, entities, @obisidan, CLI, claude code, codex, Claude Desktop. Before a call with Biff it pulls your last 12 conversations, shows you pricing came up 5 times in 2 weeks, and reminds you that you owe Biff a doc from Friday. After the call it asks if you got what you came for. You just ask "what did Biff say about pricing last week" and it pulls from your transcripts. No API key needed, use your existing subs. The meeting prep feature came from messing around with @garrytan's gstack skills. His /office-hours pattern forces you to be specific instead of accepting vague answers. I stole that idea and applied it to meeting prep and post-meeting debrief. It's called Minutes. Rust, whisper.cpp, Tauri. MIT licensed. First real release on github.

George from 🕹prodmgmt.world
If you're a PM who uses Claude Code/Cursor to build and execute research, strategy, and discovery work, this stack cuts context setup from 15 minutes of pasting to under a minute. Obsidian solves the storage problem: every note you write becomes a local markdown file, yours permanently, readable by any tool, locked to no platform. The second piece is qmd, a CLI tool built by Tobi Lütke (Shopify's CEO) specifically for searching markdown files, now at 14.5k GitHub stars. It combines three search approaches running entirely on your machine: BM25 full-text retrieval, vector semantic search via a locally-running 300MB embedding model, and LLM re-ranking for final relevance scoring. No data leaves your laptop. You point it at a folder, run `qmd embed` to index your entire collection. What this means in practice: I can open Claude Code and ask it to find every decision I've made about a particular product area, or pull every research note that mentions a specific problem, without manually copying anything. Claude runs the search, reads the relevant files, and starts from that context rather than from scratch. The time I used to spend pasting background into chat windows before each session now goes into the actual work. What I didn't expect was how much it compounds. I'm not sure how to quantify it precisely, but every note I add increases the usefulness of future sessions without any extra effort on my part. Setup to replicate this: 1. Install Obsidian and import all your notes from wherever you used to store them 2. Install QMD (github.com/tobi/qmd) Works perfectly with prodmgmt.world of course

When I purchased my @POLYWOOD set, I was thinking durability—not heroics! After this week's intense storms in Austin, I came home to find it heroically bearing the weight of a fallen tree, saving my deck from further damage! Impressive!
