Part 3 · Your files
It's all saved — your second brain
You never have to hold it all in your head, or in a pile of open chats. Once you commit, it's written down. Here's where it lives.
Commit saves everything
The chat isn't the work. The committed files are.
- When you run
/commit, everything from that session gets written to your files and backed up.
- So you don't need to keep old chats around in the sidebar to "hold on" to your work, it's already saved. Once you've committed, you're free to delete that chat.
- Your work doesn't live in the conversation. It lives in your files, your second brain.
Everything has a home
Open Obsidian and you can see it all, laid out.
Your second brain — Obsidian
context/ # who you are, your business
people/ # everyone you deal with
clients/ # your clients
CLAUDE.md # what Claude reads every session
projects/ # what you're working on
outputs/ # everything you've made
memory/ # deep memory — every session, saved
HISTORY.md # the log of what got done
·Every session gets saved into deep memory. Your projects, the people you deal with, your clients, decisions, all filed in their own place. You can open Obsidian any time and read exactly where things landed.
·Just ask Claude to keep it tidy: "file this in the right place." Everything should have a home, a new person goes in people, a client in clients, and so on.
Keep your context sharp
This is the most important upkeep there is.
The 30-minute foundation
Read your CLAUDE.md, fix what's off
Spend a little time in Obsidian reading your CLAUDE.md and your context files, they're what Claude reads at the start of every session. If something's wrong or out of date, don't edit it by hand. Just tell Claude "change this in my CLAUDE.md." Fix it at the source and every session after gets sharper.
- Understand your tools. Ask Claude to read its own
/prime and /commit skills and explain what they do and where things get saved, so you know what's happening under the hood.
- Run
/task-audit now and then. It looks across your work and finds tasks worth automating for you.
- Check your
HISTORY. It's the running log of everything that's been done and saved, a quick way to see where things are.
