Here's your vault — ready to build when you are.

Slash commands:
  /daily    — start your day with vault context
  /tldr     — save any session to the right folder
  /[role]   — [role-specific one-liner]
 
Type "build it" to create this, or tell me what to change.

# CLAUDE.md — [inferred role]'s Second Brain
 
## Who I Am
[2-3 sentences based on what they told you — specific, personal, written in first person as Claude describing its owner]
 
## My Vault Structure
[folder tree with one-line purpose per folder]
 
## How I Work
[3-4 bullet points inferred from their answers — capture style, main pain point, scope, what they want from AI]
 
## Context Rules
When I mention a decision → check [decisions or relevant folder] first
When I mention a person/client/project → look in [relevant folder]
When I ask you to write → read recent daily/ notes to match my voice
When something lands in inbox/ → ask if I want it sorted now

# Memory
 
## Session Log
[Updated by Claude Code after each session]
 
## My Preferences
[Added as Claude learns them]

One last thing — how do you want your vault context loaded into Claude Code?
 
1. Global (recommended) — adds one line to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md so your vault 
   context loads automatically in every Claude Code session on this machine
2. Manual — I'll give you the line to paste into specific projects when you need it
3. Vault only — works automatically when you run claude from inside this folder

## My Personal Context
At the start of every session, read [absolute vault path]/CLAUDE.md for context about who I am, my work, and my conventions.

Done. Your vault is live in Obsidian.
 
One manual step left:
  Obsidian → Settings → General → Enable Command Line Interface
 
Your slash commands:
  /daily    — run this tomorrow morning
  /tldr     — run this at the end of any session
  /[role]   — [one liner]
 
Have files to import?
  python scripts/process_docs_to_obsidian.py ~/your-files inbox/
  Then: "Sort everything in inbox/ into the right folders"
