AI Agent Knowledge Base Starter Vault

Most people do not need a more complicated note-taking app.

They need a knowledge base that AI agents can actually understand and use.

The AI Second Brain Starter Vault gives you a ready-to-use Markdown knowledge base designed for Claude, Codex-style coding agents, Obsidian, VS Code, and other Markdown-friendly tools.

Instead of starting from a blank folder, you get a working starter vault with:

• A ready-made folder structure.
• A home page and main index.
• Example wiki pages.
• Markdown templates.
• Agent instruction files for Claude and Codex-style workflows.
• Root index.md and log.md files for agent navigation and change history.
• Copy-ready prompts for compiling, querying, updating, and linting your knowledge base.
• A concise user guide for Obsidian, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and similar agents.
• A short tutorial preview video showing the workflow visually.

The workflow:Raw Sources → Compiled Wiki Pages → AI Queries → Updated Knowledge Base
