Overview

This repository is managed with Kasetto — it pulls personal and external skills and MCPs from upstream repositories into one synced setup. The full source list lives in kasetto.yaml.

What's in here?

  • Locally authored skills, see skills/
  • Locally authored MCP definitions, see mcps/
  • External skills and MCPs, see kasetto.yaml

Main principles

  • Minimalism — keep only skills and MCPs that are used daily
  • Consistency — same conventions across all locally authored skills
  • Composability — skills are small, single-purpose, and chainable
  • Source of truth — upstream skills are pulled, not forked, so updates stay free

Personal wiki (second brain)

An Obsidian vault maintained primarily by Claude Code, inspired by Karpathy's LLM-maintained notes. Three pieces, one job each:

  1. Schema in the vault — the vault's own CLAUDE.md holds all conventions (folder map, frontmatter contract, linking rules, standing duties); INDEX.md is the catalog the agent reads first; LOG.md is an append-only journal of agent actions. The schema is a live file in the vault — no repo mirror.
  2. Workflow skills in this repo — wiki-capture, wiki-summarize, wiki-project, wiki-write, wiki-lint, plus the obsidian-markdown syntax reference. Skills hold process only and defer to the vault schema — zero duplicated conventions.
  3. Templates in the vault — one note template per type under 99 TEMPLATES/, usable both by the skills and manually via Obsidian (including mobile).

Supporting decisions, so the setup stays repeatable:

  • Memory in the wiki — each ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory is a symlink into the vault's 97 MEMORY/<project>/, so Claude's persistent memories live in the wiki while the harness reads them natively. The migration rule lives in my global CLAUDE.md (see Rules).
  • No premature tooling — no Dataview, no Zettelkasten IDs, no embeddings; search is rg + INDEX.md until the vault passes ~200 notes, then qmd.
  • Audit + rollback — LOG.md records what agents did; an external git mirror records the content. The mirror's .git lives at ~/.vault.git (outside iCloud, invisible to Obsidian, local-only — never pushed), snapshotted hourly via scripts/vault-snapshot.sh. The scheduler is machine-local setup, deliberately not in dotfiles (it's OS-specific): macOS — a launchd plist in ~/Library/LaunchAgents running the script hourly; Linux — a cron line (0 * * * * sh .../scripts/vault-snapshot.sh).

To repeat it: create the vault folders + CLAUDE.md/INDEX.md/LOG.md per the vault's own CLAUDE.md, copy the templates idea, and sync the wiki-* skills via Kasetto (see below).

Rules

The CLAUDE.md files used outside this repository live with their owners:

  • My global CLAUDE.md — canonical in pivoshenko.dotfiles (dotfiles/.claude/CLAUDE.md), deployed to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md by dotdrop
  • The vault's CLAUDE.md (the wiki schema) — a live file inside the vault itself, no repo mirror

Installation

  1. Install Kasetto, see the installation guide
  2. Sync skills and MCPs into your local Claude Code config — either run:
kst sync --config https://github.com/pivoshenko/pivoshenko.ai/blob/main/kasetto.yaml

Or add the source to ~/.config/kasetto/config.yaml and then run kst sync:
