Every week, we share three things with you. Two are free. The other is for Pro members only. Here’s what we’ve got this week:

→ Blueprint: The Me File (free for 72 hours)

→ Deal: £15k waived Stripe Fees (pro)

→ Guide: What’s all the fuss with Obsidian + Claude

Claude Skill → Download now

Claude doesn't know who you are.

The more you use it, the more it remembers, but it also memorizes lots of useless details. If you're using Claude Projects, it knows nothing about the rest of your account.

“The Me File” is a Claude skill that fixes this. It's a single file you install as a Claude Skill once that tells Claude everything it needs to know about you. What you build, how you make decisions, how you write, and what you'd never do.

It forces Claude to think and write like you do. Set it up once for much better results.

Free download for the next 3 days (then it becomes Pro only). Works with Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork.

Waived fees on your next £15,000 in Stripe processing + exclusive events and betas + priority support + discounted Atlas

Everybody seems to be connecting Claude and Obsidian right now. Here's what the fuss is about, and whether it's worth setting up.

The setup is simple to describe: pair Obsidian with Claude Code, point Claude at your notes, and use the two together as a thinking partner, an idea generator, and a delegation layer for your whole life. The tools aren't the interesting part. The way they're wired together is.

Here's what it does, how it works, and what you'd actually have to set up.

Obsidian is a free, open-source note app that sits on top of a folder of plain markdown files. That folder is called a vault. What makes it different from a normal folder is linking: you can connect one note to another, so a note about a meeting links to a note about the person you met, which links to a note about the idea they mentioned. Over time the vault becomes a web of connected notes that maps how you actually think.

Claude Code is an agent that runs in your terminal and can read and write files on your computer using plain language. Tell it "create a file on my desktop that says hello," and it does. Point it at a project description and it starts working from that instead of making you re-explain everything.

On their own, both are useful. The setup is what happens when Claude Code can read your whole vault.
