# Getting Started with cosmic-brain
|
||
|
||
Welcome. This vault is your compounding knowledge base — a persistent second brain built with Claude and Obsidian.
|
||
|
||
Every source you add gets processed into 8–15 cross-referenced wiki pages. Every question you ask pulls from everything that's been ingested. Knowledge compounds like interest.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Three-Step Quick Start
|
||
|
||
### 1. Drop a source
|
||
|
||
Put any document into the `.raw/` folder:
|
||
- PDFs, markdown files, transcripts, articles
|
||
- Or paste a URL and ask Claude to fetch it
|
||
|
||
### 2. Ingest it
|
||
|
||
Tell Claude in any Claude Code session:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ingest [filename]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Claude reads the source, creates 8–15 wiki pages under `wiki/`, cross-references everything, and updates `wiki/index.md`, `wiki/log.md`, and `wiki/hot.md`.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Ask questions
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
what do you know about [topic]?
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Claude reads the hot cache, scans the index, drills into relevant pages, and gives you a synthesized answer — citing specific wiki pages, not training data.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## How the Hot Cache Works
|
||
|
||
`wiki/hot.md` is a ~500-word summary of recent vault context. It loads automatically at the start of every session (via the SessionStart hook).
|
||
|
||
You don't need to recap. Claude starts every session knowing what you've been working on.
|
||
|
||
Update it manually at any time: `update hot cache`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Your First Ingest — Walkthrough
|
||
|
||
1. Create a file in `.raw/` — copy a transcript, paste an article, or save a PDF
|
||
2. Open Claude Code in this vault folder
|
||
3. Type: `ingest [your-filename]`
|
||
4. Watch the wiki grow — Claude will report which pages it created
|
||
5. Open `wiki/index.md` — you'll see the new pages listed
|
||
6. Open Graph View in Obsidian — a new cluster of connected nodes appears
|
||
|
||
After 3–5 ingests, the graph starts to look like a real knowledge network. Cross-references emerge automatically.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Key Commands
|
||
|
||
| You say | Claude does |
|
||
|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `ingest [file]` | Creates 8–15 wiki pages from a source |
|
||
| `what do you know about X?` | Queries the wiki, cites pages |
|
||
| `/save` | Files this conversation as a wiki note |
|
||
| `/autoresearch [topic]` | Searches the web, ingests results autonomously |
|
||
| `lint the wiki` | Health check — finds orphans, gaps, stale links |
|
||
| `update hot cache` | Refreshes the session context summary |
