How 3 Weeks of Notes Built Second Brain Skills

From early on my my experimenting with creating a Second Brain system at the end of 2025, I started documenting some of the skills and agents I’d created along the way.

Three or so weeks of saving my outputs into Obsidian gave Claude Code a body of work that I could then use to keep myself organised - even though Claude is more than happy to indulge me chasing new shiny things if I’m not careful.

So it’s super important for me to make sure that there are guardrails in place that keep me (and Claude) from doing that. And that really starts with being honest with yourself and knowing where you need help.

So after putting all this information into my system I created a (free) skills pack for Claude users called ‘Daily Patterns’ pack: two tools that turn your Obsidian daily notes into a compound automation machine:

1. Log to Daily - Captures your Claude Code sessions to your daily note
2. Vault Analyst - Analyses weeks of logs and recommends skills/agents to build

Log to Daily is simple, boring and important. It uses the Daily Notes functionality in Obsidian and appends to your daily note file whenever it’s activated. So you continually have saved ‘memory’ of what you’ve been working on, even when you close sessions. When you fire Claude Code up the following day and ask what you were working on yesterday, it can reference the Daily Note for that info.

Vault Analyst looks through that body of logs and looks for patterns and opportunities to create agents and skills - basically to stop you doing busy work over and over.

You can pick both of these up off of my GitHub: https://github.com/aplaceforallmystuff/daily-patterns-pack
