Hey everyone, I've been building something for the past few months that I wish had existed years ago, and it's finally ready to be tested by real people. It's called Bastion — an AI-powered command center inside Obsidian. The short version: instead of staring at your vault wondering what to work on, Bastion asks you a few questions each morning and builds your day around your actual energy, schedule, and priorities. Then it tracks your time blocks throughout the day so it learns what's realistic for you and what isn't. Here's what Bastion does right now: → AI morning planning ritual — asks you the right questions, picks your ONE Thing, builds a time-blocked schedule around your energy and real calendar commitments, then writes the full daily note for you. One conversation, day set. → A command center inside Obsidian — live dashboard with your tasks, calendar, habits, focus streaks, and today's time blocks at a glance. A real-time "now line" so you always know exactly where you are in your day. → An AI that actually knows your vault — not a generic chatbot. It reads your notes, your scripts, your history, and your system. Ask it anything, and it can create, move, rename, or delete notes directly. It executes, not just responds. → Scripts that run your whole workflow — /dayflow to plan, /triage to process your inbox, /sync for meeting notes, /pulse for weekly reviews, /cadence for monthlies. Scripts you write once and they just work. → Time-block learning that gets smarter — it logs how long tasks actually take versus how long you thought they'd take. Over time, it stops lying to you. Your schedule gets realistic. → Wrap-up that actually closes the loop — /wrap debriefs your day, logs wins, surfaces blockers, captures what didn't get done, and carries it forward. Nothing falls through the cracks. → Syncs with the tools you already use — Google Calendar, Todoist, Asana, Trello, TickTick, and more. Your vault becomes the control layer on top of all of it. I'm looking for exactly 5 beta testers.

I've been using the 2nd brain, and customizing it for myself since April. I've created skills and tooling for my company, and been working on optimizing the 2nd brain skills for token consumption. The thing I'd like to share is the goal I put out in April - a public tool for anyone that is interested in Magic: the Gathering! https://github.com/Phillip-Hurst/MTG-Data Let me know if you try the plugin

I'm looking into both Rubens and KJs guidelines for Claude, I want to keep the hierarchy of the 2nd brain, and am wondering how Rubens guides could impact it. The 2nd brain remembers where we are with work - but Ruben recommends the about me folder https://ruben.substack.com/p/claude-cowork-20 I'm leaning we wouldn't take his recommendation on telling Claude to not touch folders without instruction, but the rest sounds right?

The New Note from template idea, summarizing the work from the day, or just summarizing the week or thoughts for Claude to learn from.. When I right click on daily logs in Obsidian, I only have net note/folder/canvas/base/drawing - no options for referencing a template. Is that an issue with my settings? How do I fix this?

figured this out today n wanted to share with yall in case you're currently paying the subscription for it (android users you might be cooked tho sorry lol) 1. download Obsidian on your phone from the App Store 2. drag your second brain folder directly into iCloud Drive folder in Finder 3. open Terminal on your Mac, paste in this command, and hit enter: mv ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/[your-vault-name] ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/ 4. close Obsidian on your Mac and reopen it 5. open Obsidian on your iPhone, and you should see it in there ez peez
