Claude Code is so much more than just a coding tool, and I’m going to show you exactly what I mean. And yes, this is taking things much further than Cowork.
I’ve built my entire second brain around Claude Code, Skills, and Obsidian. Claude Code is my workhorse – it does the heavy lifting. Obsidian is my canvas – where everything gets organized and refined. And Skills are what download the right knowledge into Claude’s brain exactly when it needs it.
In this video, I’ll show you how I use dozens of different skills to help me constantly research, ideate, and organize. Building your second brain has an insane RIO – it’s all about having your agent handle the grunt work so you can focus on the creative stuff that actually matters.
