## What it is
A starter kit that combines Obsidian with the Claude Code CLI to build an AI-assisted personal knowledge management and accountability system. It provides slash-command skills that connect a hierarchy of three-year vision, yearly goals, projects, monthly goals, weekly reviews, and daily tasks.

## Use cases
- set up an obsidian vault with claude code for personal knowledge management
- track goals and projects with ai-assisted weekly and monthly reviews
- connect daily notes to long-term goals in a second brain system
- automate morning planning and evening reflection in obsidian
- run an accountability system that links tasks to yearly objectives
- create projects linked to goals using slash commands

## When to choose
- you want an opinionated, zero-dependency PKM starter with review workflows
- you want AI-assisted weekly/monthly reviews and goal tracking in markdown

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian or have a Claude Code subscription
- you want a standalone app rather than a shell-based vault template
- you prefer a lightweight PKM without AI agent dependencies
