Can you share more details on your setup with Claude Code ?

It's nothing too fancy - I use Obsidian as a memory layer for both agents and myself. I keep a daily programming journal, and ask agents to update it as we work. I often have to nudge it to use the skill, but sometimes it asks me if I want to note things down. The core of the skills is just templates that teach claude how I like my notes formatted, and how my vault is laid out.

I find that it is useful as a way to quickly catch up a new session by asking it to read what we did yesterday or earlier that day.

The semantic search layer allows it to search further back in time, or find connections across unrelated notes. I built it because it used to waste a lot of tool calls with grep commands whenever I asked it to find something.

I'm still iterating, but I put together a repo with some of the skills that I find most useful for organization: https://github.com/ravila4/claude-adhd-skills

How does this affect your token/quota usage?

Not much, the main cost is having Claude write notes as we work, which isn't too different from what it does anyway with Plan mode, and it helps me onboard new sessions more easily. It also may save me some tokens because the tool I built helps it semantically search for relevant notes instead of wasting tool calls on grep and reading irrelevant documents.

For just text notes is very low token usage, i use Opus for everything and a whole week of notes is like 30m of a coding session

Have you ever considered using a knowledge graph?
