Notetaking is a beautiful thing. Putting thoughts to paper (or keyboard, or transcription model) refines your thinking, connects ideas, and pulls context out of your brain for others to learn from. But as powerful as a good notetaking system can be, organizing those notes is a chore. A few files turn into folders, tags, and taxonomies that become unwieldy beyond the first hundred entries. If you can't find what you wrote, or miss connections to related ideas, you're missing the real value of notetaking: generating new ideas. Agents dramatically expanded what's possible here. Andre Karpathy popularized the idea of an "LLM Knowledge Base." Or in simpler terms, letting Claude Code turn your loose Markdown notes into a neat, organized wiki. We'll explore workflows to make this possible, ranging from simple to complex: - Build automations to organize your notes with tags, folders, backlinks, and deduplication to level-up search and discovery - Teach agents to create a wiki you can navigate with Obsidian - Expand from wikis to web applications to create kanban boards, knowledge graphs, whiteboard canvases, and more - Have agents expand your thinking by auto-recording ideas while you sleep - Connect third party data sources like Granola meeting notes or Notion databases to link your notes to your day-to-day work You'll walk away with a new appreciation for notetaking, and a second brain that leaves you 10x smarter than one brain alone. Talk format: Code and live tech demos. I will set up each of these automations and tools from scratch, and show agents executing each of them in a live setting. I will share the source for all automations at the end.

LLM Knowledge Bases: How Agents Can Organize All of Your Notes

Stop prompting. Start orchestrating. In four intense hours you'll go from using Claude Code like a faster autocomplete to commanding it like a senior engineer commands a team: engineering its context, deploying fleets of subagents, locking it down with hooks, and turning it loose on work that runs without you.Every Claude Code user hits a ceiling where the easy wins run out. The agent handles small stuff beautifully, then loses the thread on anything real. The difference between that ceiling and real mastery isn't better prompts. It's control. This workshop is about control.You'll spend the whole four hours inside CLASH, a real full-stack application, handed to you fully built so nothing stands between you and the hard parts. A serious codebase is the point: it's the only place agentic engineering shows you whether it actually holds up.The throughline is context. Treated carelessly, the context window fills with noise until the agent drifts. Treated as a resource you engineer, it becomes the biggest lever you have. From there the toolkit opens up. Repeatable work becomes a reusable Skill. Noisy, exploratory work goes to subagents that run in their own isolated context, several at once when the job allows. Hard rules become hooks the agent cannot cross. Your own systems come into reach through MCP.Then you let go of the wheel, carefully. The same agent that pairs with you can run headless in a pipeline, drive a long task to a defined finish on its own, or live inside your software through the Agent SDK. We close by setting two greenfield methodologies, Spec Kit and BMAD, side by side, so you leave knowing not just how to drive the agent but which approach fits which problem.Two ideas hold it together: context is king, and you push it, you own it. This was never about generating code faster. It's about staying in command while the agent does more.This is an advanced session for engineers, tech leads, and architects who already use Claude Code every day and want to reach the top of the curve. We move fast, and we start in the deep end.
