the-vault

A second brain in markdown — shared between me and every AI session I run.

When I open a new AI session, it already knows my homelab port assignments, my naming conventions, and the bug we fixed last month. The Vault is the substrate that makes that work — an Obsidian markdown brain shared between me and any Claude Code session I run. Observations dump into a shared inbox; a separate session distills them back into linked wiki notes on its own schedule. Shape borrows from Karpathy's gist on personal AI context — markdown-owned, append-only, machine-legible — extended with a wiki layer and the distill loop on top. Write context once, every agent can reference it.
