Covers the usual Python noise (__pycache__, .venv, tooling caches),
common secrets paths (.env, config/settings.local.toml), editor/OS
junk, and stray SQLite files in case anyone points db_path at a
repo-local path. Nothing to scrub from history — none of these were
ever tracked.

README.md

second-brain

A personal knowledge system built on a video/article extraction pipeline and an LLM-maintained wiki (inspired by the Karpathy LLM Wiki pattern).

What it does

  1. Pull — download YouTube videos or fetch web articles
  2. Transcribe — extract transcripts via Whisper (videos) or trafilatura (articles)
  3. Extract — single-shot Claude call produces structured notes per source
  4. Review — web UI to accept or reject extractions
  5. Compile — wiki compiler folds accepted extractions into a living Obsidian vault

Quick start

# Install dependencies
uv sync

# Copy and edit config
cp config/settings.toml config/settings.local.toml

# Queue a source
uv run second-brain add https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

# Run the pipeline
uv run second-brain process

# Review in the web UI
uv run second-brain serve

# Compile to wiki
uv run second-brain compile

Domains

Extractions are tagged by domain so the right prompt template is used:

Domain Focus
development Software, programming, systems
content Content creation, video production
business Entrepreneurship, marketing, ops
homelab Self-hosted infra, networking, DevOps

Requirements

  • Python 3.12+
  • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable
  • ffmpeg (for Whisper audio extraction)
