Claude Code x Obsidian Lab
Cohort 4 · Starting Nov 10 → 5 weeks
Tuesdays & Saturdays
Your system feels disorganized. You have hundreds of notes but can't find what matters. Every AI conversation starts from zero. Sound familiar?
EnterNot tied to one company. Your notes stay in plain files you own, and Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT and Grok Bot can all work from them.
Obsidian vault
1Align yourself. What you want and what matters, written in your notes.
2Align your agent. Every tool works from those notes.
For solo professionals who tinker: founders, consultants, writers and team leads whose notes are scattered and whose AI starts from zero every time.
You don't need to be a programmer. If you can use Obsidian and Excel, you can build this.
This lab is for people who value a practical, evidence-based approach. We follow best practices from Anthropic's documentation, research on working with LLMs and agents, and techniques that have proven effective in real use. No hype, just what actually works.
Cohort 1 participants built: a 500-meeting archive queried by person and topic. A 1,200-idea blog pipeline from capture to publish. Local voice transcription straight into Obsidian. Dynamic dashboards that replaced 6 stale manual lists.
You'll build AI workflows for YOUR life. Not abstract demos. Your calendar, your goals, your meetings, your vault.
Workshops (Tuesdays)
Artem presents concepts with live demos on his real 2,000-note vault. You follow along building your own system. Not slides, screen sharing, real problems, real solutions in real time.
Masterminds (Saturdays)
You present your progress. Share your screen, show what you built, get feedback from the group and from Artem. Real problem-solving on YOUR vault, not homework review.
Between sessions
Pre-recorded technical deep-dives you can rewatch at your pace. Lab wiki with 120+ pages of lessons, exercises, references, and templates. Discord community with same-day answers.
Now I say "continue where I left off" and Claude loads my last session, shows pending tasks, and knows what I was working on. I record a meeting and tasks appear in my system, assigned to the right people.
Cohort 1: participants from Canada, Abu Dhabi, Germany, France, Bali. During sessions I show my actual vault, 2,000+ notes, real projects, messy drafts. Every session, someone asks "can you build that for my [X]?" and we build it live.
Tools change every 6 months. Your context stays. The skill isn't "using Claude Code", it's Personal Context Engineering: knowing how to give AI access to YOUR world so it can actually help.
Notes + Skills = AI that actually helps.
That's the formula. Skills are instructions that connect your notes to actions. Build once, use forever.
Design systems by observing YOUR behavior, not by copying best practices. Analyze your own patterns. Turn patterns into commands. Turn commands into workflows.
Your vault is the foundation. Local-first, markdown-based, extensible. The perfect home for your context.
The AI agent that reads and writes files. Works in terminal, connects to your vault, executes code.
Your AI's memory file. Teach it your preferences, your context, your workflows. Persistent across sessions.
Reusable instructions that give your Obsidian vault superpowers. "Prepare meeting" becomes one command.
Programmatic vault access from the terminal. Query bases, read/write frontmatter, evaluate JavaScript. No MCP needed.
AI-native code editor. We'll cover how it complements Claude Code for different workflows.
Claude Code runs in terminal. We'll cover the basics, it's simpler than you think.
Tools evolve constantly. The patterns you learn transfer to whatever comes next.
We're not just learning tools, they'll be obsolete in months. The real skill is Personal Context Engineering: knowing how to structure your knowledge so AI can actually use it.
Your goals, your relationships, your history, that context is yours forever. Learn to give AI access to it, and you'll be ahead no matter what tool is popular next year.

Launch & Showcase
"Best online course experience I've ever had."

"For 18 years I've known I could be more organized. I need something to remind me 'no, you thought that was important yesterday.'"
"Your obsidian/claude code workflow opened my eyes and solved a struggle I have been dealing with for many many months."
"My whole system is hanging by a thread. Claude's intelligence is what's saving me, but I know it could be used more effectively."
"I've been searching for this for 20 years. The problem of capturing fleeting ideas, intaking and processing YT videos... Amazing. Don't stop."
"Thousands of notes across offensive security, incident response. The field constantly changes. I need notes to stop being forgotten - to become a dynamic methodology."
"LeetCode was killing me. I combined Claude and Obsidian for daily updates - it actually made learning fun. Now I'm crushing interviews."
From the workshops and Cohort 1 Lab. Everyone came back for day 2.
You leave with: a goal X-ray, your first persistent thread, a team of agents for the areas of your life, an orchestrator, and Obsidian as the memory layer.
Guarantee. If your agent is not running on your real work by demo day (Tuesday, December 8), you get 14 more days of help. If it still is not running, you get a refund. · Questions? WhatsApp
No. If you can use Obsidian and Excel, you can build this. We'll cover terminal basics and most tasks are about writing clear instructions (Skills), not traditional code. Claude Code handles the technical parts.
You'll need Obsidian (free) and Claude Pro subscription ($20/month). Claude Code is included with Claude Pro. No other paid tools required.
Obsidian stores notes as plain text on YOUR computer. Claude Code reads them directly. You see exactly what it sees. Full control.
Notion lives in their cloud, you'd need complex APIs. ChatGPT memory is a black box, you don't know what it remembers or forgets.
Plus: Your data is yours. Back it up however you want. What you learn transfers to any agent, Codex, Amp, whatever comes next. You're learning to structure YOUR knowledge for AI, not just one tool.
That's the starting point for most people. Week 1-2 focuses on giving Claude enough structure to understand your vault WITHOUT reorganizing everything.
You don't need perfect folders. You need frontmatter Claude can read and a CLAUDE.md that explains your structure. We start where you are.
Live calls on Tuesdays and Saturdays, 12 pm Toronto time, 90 minutes each, Nov 10 to Dec 8. Each session includes demonstration + hands-on practice time. Recordings are available.
Plan for 3-5 hours per week: two 90-minute live calls + practice. You set your own pace for hands-on work.
Yes. After you join, a 30-minute 1:1 call with Artem: an interview that maps out your life and picks the first area to focus on.
A goal X-ray, your first persistent thread, a team of agents for the areas of your life, an orchestrator, and Obsidian as the memory layer.
Yes, lifetime access. Session recordings, all templates and skills as .md files (plain text you own forever), and Discord community. No platform lock-in, everything lives in your vault.
If your agent is not running on your real work by demo day (Tuesday, December 8), you get 14 more days of help. If it still is not running, you get a refund.
Yes, I can provide an invoice for company payment. Message me on WhatsApp with your company details.
