One thing I noticed from my quarterly Claude vault analysis: the 30-minute review was useful, but the specification note I'd built with Claude beforehand was doing most of the work.

'That specification note is carrying a lot of the weight — it provides all the context the model uses.'

The AI is only as good as the context you give it. Full post: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/ai-obsidian-vault-analysis/

When Claude analysed my Obsidian vault, it mapped disconnected note clusters — groups that don't connect to the rest.

My clusters: AI and tech (unsurprising), gaming, personal finance, health and pressure.

What surprised me: it didn't flag philosophy, which I'd have expected.

Has anyone else run an AI analysis of their PKM? What did it find about your knowledge clusters?

Statische Seiten: Ist Zensical der legitime Nachfolger von MkDocs (Material)

Als ich im Juni letzten Jahres MkDocs (genauer: Material für MkDocs) wiederentdeckte, war ich fasziniert. Denn mit diesem freien (BSD-Lizenz), in Python geschriebenen, Markdown-basierten Generator für statische Seiten, hatte ich bereits sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026042101_zensical/ #MkDocs #Zensical #Markdown #StatischeSeiten #Zettelkasten #Webworking

When I asked Claude Code to analyse my Obsidian vault, it structured the review into six sections:

• Knowledge gaps — orphan concepts, underdeveloped literature notes
• Connection patterns — 91.5% of notes linked (not bad)
• Processing pipeline health
• MOC coverage
• Content opportunities
• Workflow stats

Each surfaced something worth acting on. https://www.ctnet.co.uk/ai-obsidian-vault-analysis/

to note with keywords, questions and cues. (Old?)

“Noguchi’s system” suggests: replace thematic information
distribution with a frequency-based distribution,
ensuring that the most important documents are always at
hand.

In 2002 Homw Emacs package implemented frequency based
organization of notes

“PARA Method” suggests:
- Create links between notes as needed, rather than
creating a complex network of links upfront.

“Cornell Method” suggests: add "cue part" as left column #notes #notetaking #emacs #orgmode #zettelkasten
