Claude Session Summary — Second Brain setup & auto-capture (2026-06-29)
Auto-captured from a Claude Code session (cwd:
C:\Users\Benjamin Eichhorn\Desktop\WIP). Review, then file or delete.
Session Purpose
Explain the Second Brain (PARA) concept for Ben's specific situation, stand up an Obsidian vault synced to Google Drive, and automate weekly capture of Claude Code sessions so knowledge is retained without manual effort.
Decisions Made
| Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|
| Use Obsidian + PARA, vault synced to G:\My Drive\Second Brain | Trusted external repository; Google Drive gives sync/backup |
| Seed the vault from Ben's Claude history (42 interlinked notes) | He runs many simultaneous high-stakes threads (career, finance, TaiganJP, family) |
| Automate capture instead of manual note-taking | "This still seems like a lot of work on my end" |
| Run capture WEEKLY — Sunday 9:00 AM JST, up to 25 sessions/run | Changed from daily; matches the weekly-review rhythm, lands in 00-Inbox Sunday AM |
Key Facts Established
- Vault folders: 00-Inbox, 01-Projects, 02-Areas, 03-Resources, 04-Archives.
- Capture covers Claude Code (desktop) sessions only — not claude.ai web/mobile.
- The scheduled task summarizes recent transcripts into 00-Inbox for a keep/file/delete pass during weekly review.
- Core capture habit = the Claude-Session-Summary template (the notes this task produces).
Action Items
- Do the weekly keep/file/delete pass on 00-Inbox each Sunday
Files / Artifacts Created
- Obsidian vault at G:\My Drive\Second Brain (42 seed notes)
- Weekly second-brain-capture scheduled task + extractor/state
