The Agentic OS Setup That Will 10x Claude Code — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00If you don't know how to build your own
- 0:01agentic OS, then you are falling behind.
- 0:04But not for the reason you think. It's
- 0:06not because you need some fancy
- 0:07dashboard or a Jarvis setup because that
- 0:10is not where the value of these systems
- 0:12lie. The value is everything under the
- 0:14hood. Everything you can't see. I'm
- 0:16talking about loop engineering, skill
- 0:18architecture, state management, creating
- 0:20a second brain, and being able to bundle
- 0:23it all together into a coherent
- 0:25customized product that works for you.
- 0:27That is where the value lies. And the
- 0:29skills required to build something like
- 0:31this can be applied to any project you
- 0:33work on with clawed code, which is why
- 0:36this is such a valuable thing to
- 0:38understand. So in this video, we are
- 0:39going to be breaking down the clawed
- 0:41agentic OS construct level by level so
- 0:43you can learn not only how to build one
- 0:45yourself, but why it's so important that
- 0:48you do. When we are looking at an
- 0:49agentic OS like this one or this
- 0:52Obsidianbased one, it's easy to get lost
- 0:55inside the visual spectacle of it all.
- 0:58all these buttons and moving parts and
- 0:59metrics, things you can't find inside
- 1:01the Claude Code terminal, jump out at
- 1:03you right away, and you kind of fall
- 1:05into one of two camps. The first camp is
- 1:07like, "Wow, this looks really cool. I
- 1:08want to get my hands on this. I love all
- 1:10these like sort of visual things I can't
- 1:12find elsewhere." And the other camp sees
- 1:14it for what it is, which is just the
- 1:16visual interface, and thinks, "This is
- 1:19just smoke and mirrors. There's nothing
- 1:20here that's actually moving the needle
- 1:22forward." And I think both camps miss
- 1:24something. And what they miss are the AI
- 1:26fundamentals that are working under the
- 1:28hood that turn an AIOS and just a fancy
- 1:31looking web app into a customized weapon
- 1:34you can use to attack any problem with
- 1:36clawed code or frankly any model. I'm
- 1:38going to talk about cloud code today but
- 1:40this can be run again with something
- 1:42like codeex or even a local model. And
- 1:44when we talk about these fundamentals we
- 1:46can kind of break it down into four
- 1:47sections when it comes to this AIOS. The
- 1:50first level is the backbone and that is
- 1:52the skills in the loop engineering in
- 1:54the idea that we have codified
- 1:56everything we do inside of cloud code
- 1:58and we've turned it either into a skill
- 2:00or some sort of automation. Level two is
- 2:03memory and state control. How can we
- 2:05make sure that our AIOS has some sort of
- 2:08database of information that it can draw
- 2:10upon when we ask it questions? And more
- 2:13importantly, can we use this state, this
- 2:16memory, whether that's obsidian or
- 2:17something else. You can use something
- 2:18like a standard database. How can we use
- 2:20this in combination with the skills and
- 2:23automation we've built to create
- 2:25actually properly built loop engineered
- 2:28constructs that are somewhat
- 2:29self-improving? If you watched my last
- 2:31video about loop engineering, you kind
- 2:33of know what I'm talking about. The idea
- 2:34that we need to be able to record things
- 2:36and set up loops that can see how we've
- 2:39done in past iterations to improve
- 2:41future runs. And these two levels, one
- 2:43and two, is where we make most of our
- 2:45money. This is 90% of the value of any
- 2:48sort of AIOS. And once you have that
- 2:49locked in, well, then you can move into
- 2:52some of the cool visual stuff. And
- 2:53that's sort of level three where we talk
- 2:54about the interface and the UI and sort
- 2:56of the customization aspect of this. If
- 2:59you want to get outside of the terminal
- 3:00and also sort of spread your wings
- 3:02versus some of these desktop
- 3:04applications because the claw desktop
- 3:05application is great, but there's only
- 3:07so much you can do inside of it or set
- 3:08it up in certain ways. And then lastly,
- 3:10we have level four, which is
- 3:11distribution. Because the cool thing
- 3:13about this is it doesn't have to be
- 3:14personal just to you. You could share
- 3:16your AIOS with members of your team or
- 3:18even clients. And it's a great way to
- 3:20raise the floor in your organization. A
- 3:22lot of what you do on level one and two
- 3:25can be turned into a literal button or
- 3:28voice command that you can implant
- 3:30inside of your AIOS user interface that
- 3:33anyone can use. They don't even need to
- 3:35run cloud code themselves. It can all be
- 3:36done for them. So those are the four
- 3:38levels we're going to be talking about
- 3:39today. I'm going to spend the vast
- 3:40majority of it here in levels one and
- 3:42two because the truth is you could still
- 3:44do all of this inside of your standard
- 3:47claude code terminal or the codec cli or
- 3:49the codeex desktop app if you really
- 3:51nail down these first two parts which is
- 3:53skills and loop engineering and memory
- 3:54and state. This applies to any and all
- 3:57problems not just AIOS. But before we
- 3:59dive into level one, a quick word from
- 4:01today's sponsor, me. So, I just released
- 4:04my cloud code master class and it is the
- 4:05number one way to go from zero to AI
- 4:07dev, especially if you don't come from a
- 4:09technical background. We focus on real
- 4:11use cases. It's updated every single
- 4:13week and it includes all of my personal
- 4:15build. So, everything you see in today's
- 4:17video that I'm using for my demos, you
- 4:19can find it here as well. So, if you
- 4:21want to get your hands on all that, you
- 4:22can find it inside of Chase AI Plus.
- 4:24There will be a link in the description.
- 4:26So, level one, skill architecture, loop
- 4:28engineering, all this stuff. What are we
- 4:30really talking about here? Well, there's
- 4:31sort of four subphases of level one. We
- 4:35have the workflow audit, we have the
- 4:37skill creation, we have automation, and
- 4:39then we have loop engineering. And so,
- 4:41step one is a workflow audit. Before we
- 4:44can create skills, we need to know what
- 4:47you actually need to create skills for.
- 4:49Because remember, why are skills
- 4:51arguably the most powerful thing in
- 4:52claude code? Well, because it allows us
- 4:54to get a specific output. We're telling
- 4:56Claude to do a specific thing in a
- 4:58specific way for a specific output. But
- 5:00what sort of specific outputs do you
- 5:02need constantly throughout your
- 5:04day-to-day and your week to week? Seems
- 5:06like an obvious question, yet most
- 5:07people cannot answer that. And even if
- 5:09they can answer it, they certainly
- 5:11haven't taken those workflows that they
- 5:13do manually inside of Cloud Code and
- 5:15turned it into skills or automated them.
- 5:17So this is the first thing you have to
- 5:19do. And this, if you do nothing else,
- 5:21will totally supercharge how you work
- 5:23with cloud code. So here's a visual
- 5:25representation of what I'm talking
- 5:26about. We have you and we have Claude
- 5:28code. And for most people, it stays just
- 5:31like this. And it's a purely manual back
- 5:33and forth. You open up the terminal, you
- 5:35open up claw desktop, and you tell it to
- 5:37do certain things. And inevitably,
- 5:38you're telling it to do the same things
- 5:40all the time. Well, what if instead we
- 5:43did an audit of everything you do
- 5:46dayto-day and week to week and all the
- 5:47ways you use Claude and we codify that
- 5:50into skills? You're doing the same tasks
- 5:52over and over. Why don't we actually
- 5:55consistent with the outputs and how they
- 5:56work? Now, if you have used skills in
- 5:58any capacity, the cell here is very
- 6:00obvious. And I'm just telling you to do
- 6:02what you do with skills already, but do
- 6:04that a hundred times more because
- 6:06undoubtedly the way you use Claude Code,
- 6:08whether it's as an individual or as a
- 6:10business, can be broken up into a number
- 6:12of different domains. For me, that
- 6:13includes things like research, content,
- 6:15my online community, my agency, my
- 6:17sales, on and on and on. And underneath
- 6:20each of those domains are different
- 6:22things that I do, specific tasks for
- 6:26content that include stuff like, hey, I
- 6:28need to do outlines for all my projects.
- 6:30I need to figure out the hooks for my
- 6:31videos. I need to repurpose my content.
- 6:33I need to create carousels. On and on
- 6:35and on and on. Why are those not skills?
- 6:38Truthfully, they should be. And yet, for
- 6:41most people, they probably don't have a
- 6:43large robust set of skills like I do
- 6:45right here. And this is the easiest way
- 6:47to improve cloud code. Now the practical
- 6:49question is how do you do this at scale?
- 6:51And there are a few different ways we
- 6:53can do this. Number one is we do this
- 6:56purely via a manual process. That means
- 7:00I go inside of clawed code. I already
- 7:02have an idea of what it is I do. I
- 7:04explain that task and then I turn it
- 7:08into
- 7:10can't type. We turn it into a skill. And
- 7:12obviously we're going to use the skill
- 7:15creator skill to do that, right? That's
- 7:18simple enough. The issue with doing
- 7:20this, especially if you haven't done it
- 7:21before, is you probably haven't
- 7:24validated how Claude Code should go
- 7:26about this. The ideal scenario is you've
- 7:28done this manually. You've confirmed it
- 7:29actually works, and then you tell Claude
- 7:31Code, hey, see how we just did that
- 7:33task? Now, I want you to turn it into a
- 7:36skill. And there's actually ways you can
- 7:37do that relatively quickly because
- 7:39remember, Cloud Code has access to
- 7:42essentially all your previous sessions.
- 7:43It can see the tool calls. It can see
- 7:45what you told it to do. It has the full
- 7:46back and forth. We can really get a head
- 7:49start on creating this sort of like
- 7:51skill repository by telling Claude Code,
- 7:54hey, I want you to take a look at our
- 7:56last three sessions, five sessions, 10
- 7:59sessions, 20 sessions. I want you to
- 8:01pull out everything we've done and give
- 8:03me a list of things that we can turn
- 8:05into skills that I do all the time. So
- 8:08that becomes option number two, which is
- 8:10we have it look at previous sessions and
- 8:12sort of pull the work out of us. This
- 8:15way, it's actually going off real data.
- 8:17You know, this isn't a guessing game of
- 8:18what you think you should do in Cloud
- 8:20Code. It's actually going to take a look
- 8:21at what you've done. And so, that prompt
- 8:24can just sound something like this.
- 8:26Hey, can you go through our last 10
- 8:30sessions that I've had back and forth
- 8:32with you? And I want you to sort of pull
- 8:33out some repeated task or things we've
- 8:35done over and over again that aren't
- 8:37skills yet, but that I want to turn into
- 8:40skills and create some sort of chart
- 8:41showing what that task is, what the
- 8:43output should be, and the proposed
- 8:45skill. So, that's pretty much it.
- 8:47Doesn't have to be fancy. You can talk
- 8:48to it in plain language. And like you
- 8:50can see right here, what is it doing?
- 8:52It's going to find our session files
- 8:54first. Now there's actually a third
- 8:56option for how we can approach this.
- 8:59Option number three is we have it do an
- 9:02interview right we have Claude code
- 9:05interview us and we say hey I'm just
- 9:08going to give you a stream of
- 9:09consciousness about what I do daytoday
- 9:11week to week and I want you to ask any
- 9:13questions if there's any blind spots and
- 9:15then I want Claude code to pull out of
- 9:17that conversation these sort of tasks
- 9:19that can be turned into skills. So, same
- 9:22sort of idea. It'd be the same sort of
- 9:25simple prompt. We'll just pull it up
- 9:26right now. And then I would say
- 9:28something like,
- 9:31I'm trying to turn all my daily and
- 9:34weekly tasks into skills when they make
- 9:36sense. So, I'm going to start off by
- 9:38giving you a stream of consciousness of
- 9:40sort of like what I do each day. And
- 9:42then I want you to sort of turn it into
- 9:44an interview and call out any blind
- 9:47spots because at the end of this I want
- 9:48you to have as much context as possible
- 9:50about what I do and sort of the outcomes
- 9:52I'm looking for and I want you to pull
- 9:54out specific tasks and I want to be able
- 9:56to turn these tasks into skills and
- 9:58eventually automations.
- 10:02That's pretty much it. Doesn't have to
- 10:04be fancier than that. The whole idea is
- 10:07that we are just throwing as much
- 10:09context as possible about our work,
- 10:11about our day, about our week into cloud
- 10:13code and codifying it. We kind of want
- 10:16to just turn what we do into a
- 10:17checklist. This is the kind of the
- 10:19saying, the way you should approach this
- 10:20is like you brought in some person to be
- 10:22your personal assistant. You want to
- 10:24offload as many tasks onto them as
- 10:26possible. Well, how would you do that?
- 10:27Well, it's pretty obvious. You would
- 10:29tell them what you do and then give them
- 10:31step-by-step instructions to do that.
- 10:33That's all we're doing. We're just doing
- 10:35it with clawed code. And yet most people
- 10:38don't do this. And because these are
- 10:40skills, these are now tangible workflows
- 10:41that we can look at and edit as needed
- 10:43until we really dial in those outputs.
- 10:46And right here you can see one of the
- 10:47repeated tasks that I pulled out from
- 10:49previous sessions. Things like checking
- 10:51for tool and repo updates for videos.
- 10:53And it continues to go on and on with
- 10:54these tasks it found. Now creating these
- 10:57skills is just layer number one of this,
- 11:00right? We've codified it. And oftentimes
- 11:03these are things are going to get
- 11:04repeated over and over. Well, if they're
- 11:05going to get repeated over and over, is
- 11:07there any reason why we don't simply
- 11:09turn these into automations,
- 11:12right? Again, we want to move away from
- 11:13this manual approach to everything.
- 11:15Well, I had this task I did manually.
- 11:18Now, it's a skill. It's been codified.
- 11:19Well, now let's just set it up into an
- 11:21automation if it makes sense. And this
- 11:23is so easy to do inside of Cloud Code.
- 11:25We can quite literally just prompt it,
- 11:27can we turn that skill into an
- 11:28automation? And if you want a more
- 11:30visual approach, you can set this up
- 11:31very easily inside of Claw Desktop. We
- 11:33just go to routines. We give it a name.
- 11:36So that just be like auto one. The
- 11:39instructions would just be run this
- 11:42skill. Insert the name of the skill. And
- 11:44then we would set it on a specific
- 11:46schedule. That's pretty much it. And the
- 11:48third level here would be setting up
- 11:50some level of loop engineering. Now, I'm
- 11:53not going to go ultra deep into loop
- 11:54engineering because the video I put out
- 11:56yesterday certainly does, but we have
- 11:58sort of the foundation for creating
- 12:00strong loops. We have the skill. We've
- 12:03turned it into an automation. Now, it's
- 12:05simply a question of well, are we taking
- 12:08a certain automation and are we trying
- 12:09to add some sort of like
- 12:11self-improvement loop to it? And this
- 12:13will tie into memory and state as well.
- 12:15But that's all I'm really going to
- 12:16mention there. Just understand if you're
- 12:18someone who's trying to dive into loop
- 12:20engineering and that whole side of the
- 12:22equation, you're set up very well to do
- 12:24this given we laid the foundation with
- 12:26our skills and our automations. But
- 12:28zooming out here for a second, this is
- 12:31the backbone of everything. It's
- 12:34codifying your life and making it so we
- 12:37can get consistent outputs from clawed
- 12:39code for the tasks we actually care
- 12:41about. And as you can imagine, that kind
- 12:43of has nothing to do with these fancy
- 12:46dashboards and all this other stuff that
- 12:48comes along within a OS. I love the
- 12:50fancy dashboards. I think they're really
- 12:51cool, but this is the power. And you can
- 12:53imagine applying that to any problem and
- 12:56any sort of use case with cloud code is
- 12:58is very simple and straightforward. It
- 13:00doesn't require any of the other levels,
- 13:01which is why I think it's important to
- 13:03sort of be able to create your own AIOS
- 13:05because as we stack these levels on top
- 13:07of one another, you can see how sort of
- 13:09modular and flexible this is. So
- 13:12workflow audit talked about the three
- 13:13different ways to do that, right? We can
- 13:15do it manually, we can have it look at
- 13:16our previous sessions, or we can have it
- 13:17run an interview. Once we've done that,
- 13:19we have it create the skills. Then we
- 13:21ask ourselves, hm, can any of these
- 13:23skills be automated? And then lastly, we
- 13:25kind of have that discussion about does
- 13:26loop engineering make sense for this
- 13:28particular use case? And speaking of
- 13:29loop engineering, that brings us into
- 13:32things like state and memory, which is
- 13:35level two. Now, a lot of what I'm going
- 13:37to talk about today will be in the
- 13:39context of Obsidian, but understand it
- 13:41doesn't have to be Obsidian. Everyone
- 13:43likes talking about Obsidian because
- 13:44it's free and it's relatively easy to
- 13:47understand. Everything that works with
- 13:49Obsidian can also be done inside of a
- 13:51traditional database, right? Doesn't
- 13:53have to be Obsidian. Obsidian is just
- 13:55simple to use. And really, even more so
- 13:57than Obsidian, it's the idea of file
- 14:00structures and setting up cloud code in
- 14:03a coherent manner. Truthfully, you could
- 14:06probably have no database and you could
- 14:08have no Obsidian. And if you just set up
- 14:10Cloud Code with a file structure that is
- 14:12coherent and makes sense, you're like
- 14:1499% of the way there. Obsidian just
- 14:17makes it easy. And databases obviously
- 14:19have their own power that goes along
- 14:20with them. So, how should we set up this
- 14:23part of the equation? Well, we're going
- 14:24to answer that question through the lens
- 14:26of Obsidian and what the file structure
- 14:28should be doing for us. Now, Obsidian,
- 14:30like I mentioned before, is completely
- 14:31free. The idea with Obsidian is that you
- 14:34simply download it and then you're going
- 14:36to designate a folder on your computer
- 14:39as the vault. It can be any folder or it
- 14:41can be a brand new folder. Now, when
- 14:43you're installing Obsidian, you'll see a
- 14:44popup like this where again you can
- 14:46create a new vault or you can open a
- 14:48folder as a vault. Now, when we're
- 14:50talking about a vault, again, it's
- 14:51literally just a file. So, you need to
- 14:53ask yourself for this Agentic OS, what
- 14:56file should it live in? What file is
- 14:58going to have all the information I
- 14:59wanted to know about? So, if we're
- 15:01treating it like a personal assistant,
- 15:03perhaps one of the domains you're going
- 15:05to have it help you out with is like
- 15:06sales. So, you have a lot of sales data.
- 15:08Well, whatever file I designate as the
- 15:10vault, I'm going to put want to put at
- 15:12least a copy of all my sales data in
- 15:14there. That's sort of the idea. Now,
- 15:15once we've designated a folder as the
- 15:17vault, in order to connect Cloud Code to
- 15:19Obsidian, it's as simple as just opening
- 15:21Cloud Code inside Obsidian. So, I
- 15:24navigate inside my terminal to whatever
- 15:27I called that folder. In this case, I
- 15:29literally called my vault the vault. So,
- 15:32I'm now inside the vault. Next, I just
- 15:34open up Claude Code
- 15:38and boom, Claude Code for all intents
- 15:40and purposes is now connected to my
- 15:42vault. So, I now have my vault and
- 15:45Claude code is open and connected to it.
- 15:47Now, the question becomes, how do I
- 15:50actually set up my file structure inside
- 15:51the vault? This is not a trivial
- 15:53question. This is very important because
- 15:56the whole value ad for something like
- 15:57Obsidian is the idea that clawed code
- 16:00can be connected and opened inside of
- 16:03some folder that has a bajillion
- 16:07subfolders and a bajillion files inside
- 16:09of those folders. And you, the human
- 16:11being, can ask Claude Code a question
- 16:13about any of the files and folders
- 16:15inside of here and give you an accurate
- 16:18and quick answer. How do we do that?
- 16:21Well, it's going to all come down to how
- 16:23we sort of set this up, right? If we
- 16:25just have one folder with 10 million
- 16:27files in it and there's like no back
- 16:29links and nothing is connected and
- 16:31there's no sort of hierarchy, Cloud's
- 16:33going to struggle to quickly find you an
- 16:35answer. And when I mean it's slow, I'm
- 16:37also meaning it's going to use more
- 16:39tokens and ultimately it's going to cost
- 16:40you more money. So, we have to set this
- 16:42up in a clear manner. Your mental model
- 16:44here is setting up a map for Claude
- 16:47code. Right? We're looking at the
- 16:48knowledge graph of my Obsidian vault.
- 16:50These are all the files inside my vault
- 16:52and how they connect to one another. The
- 16:54ideal scenario is that when I tell
- 16:57Claude Code or ask it a question about
- 16:59something inside this giant morass of
- 17:01files, it has a very clear path to
- 17:04finding that file and therefore finding
- 17:06my answer. So think of Obsidian as
- 17:08essentially your filing cabinet for
- 17:11everything. Now there's become somewhat
- 17:13of a common way to set up your file
- 17:16structure inside of Obsidian when we're
- 17:18talking about cloud code. And this comes
- 17:20from Carpathy. This tweet from
- 17:22Cararpathy got over 20 million views and
- 17:24it was all about how he sets up his
- 17:27knowledge base using Obsidian so that
- 17:29large language models like Claude can
- 17:32access information quickly and
- 17:34effectively. And it goes something like
- 17:36this. We have the primary vault which
- 17:38you are now familiar with. And then we
- 17:40sort of have three subfolders. We have
- 17:43one subfolder which we call the slash
- 17:47raw folder. R A. This folder is where
- 17:50all unstructured data goes. Beneath that
- 17:54we have another subfolder called the
- 17:57wiki folder. The wiki folder is where we
- 18:00have taken the unstructured data. Think
- 18:02hey we just did all this research about
- 18:05I don't know AI agents right a bunch of
- 18:08unstructured data includes a bunch of
- 18:10articles and all that sort of stuff and
- 18:11we've turned it into structured data.
- 18:13We've now turned that into like a
- 18:16Wikipedia style article about AI agents.
- 18:20So the data and like what going on here
- 18:22and everything we want to know about it
- 18:23is very clear, right? This is instead of
- 18:26trying to go through, you know, 20
- 18:27different like source documents, we now
- 18:29have everything nice and neat under this
- 18:30wiki file. The third subfolder in the
- 18:33vault is essentially for outputs.
- 18:36So let's say I did my research about AI
- 18:40agents which is now in the raw folder
- 18:42folder number one. I then turn that into
- 18:45structured data into a Wikipedia article
- 18:47which is in folder number two. Now I
- 18:49want to turn that into say and let me
- 18:51move this over here. Let's say I now
- 18:52want to turn that into a I don't know a
- 18:54slide deck. Okay, some sort of clear
- 18:57deliverable. Right? We're not just
- 18:59talking about data here. We've actually
- 19:00turned it into something useful. Well
- 19:01that would be folder three. Okay. And so
- 19:04the idea is for most of the data we play
- 19:06around with, we can sort of set it up
- 19:08like this. Unstructured, structured, and
- 19:12then outputs. That is the Carpathy
- 19:15obsidian rag. And I say rag in air
- 19:17quotes because this is a new rag system.
- 19:20But that's one way to do it. Now the
- 19:22beauty of this Carpathy system isn't
- 19:24necessarily that we split it up into
- 19:27unstructured, structured, and outputs.
- 19:28The real beauty is that at every level
- 19:31of this, we have an index
- 19:35MD file, right? This is just a text
- 19:37document, a markdown file that is
- 19:40telling claude code at every level we go
- 19:43down what it's looking at. So, for
- 19:45example, if I'm talking to Claude Code,
- 19:48I'm talking to my AIOS and I say, "Hey,
- 19:49I want you to give me all the
- 19:51information about AI agents. Remember,
- 19:53we created a wiki article about AI
- 19:56agents."
- 19:57Well, first thing it's going to do is
- 19:59it's going to look in the vault and it's
- 20:01going to hit this index.md. And this
- 20:03index.md is going to say, hey, inside at
- 20:06this level of our system, we have a raw
- 20:08file for unstructured data, a wiki for
- 20:10structured data, and outputs for things
- 20:12like slide decks and that sort of thing.
- 20:13So, Claude Code knows right away, hey,
- 20:16he wanted information about AI agents.
- 20:18So, we're going to go to this wiki
- 20:19article. Now, inside of the wiki
- 20:21article, inside of the wiki folder
- 20:23rather, guess what's inside here? There
- 20:25is also an index.n MD. Now, we have one
- 20:29article in here. So, does it really need
- 20:32essentially a table of contents for a
- 20:34folder with one thing in it? No, of
- 20:36course not. But what if you've been
- 20:37using this for a year or two or five and
- 20:39you have not one or two or 10, but you
- 20:41have thousands of documents inside of
- 20:43here and potentially subfolders as well?
- 20:45Well, an index.md is going to make it
- 20:47way easier for cloud code to hit that
- 20:49folder and understand what it's looking
- 20:51at and where it needs to go. Because
- 20:52remember, what is the purpose of all
- 20:54this? is to give Claude code a map. And
- 20:57if it every single new room it enters,
- 20:59there's a clear spot it can go to and
- 21:02figure out what it's looking at, it's
- 21:03going to be faster and it's going to be
- 21:05cheaper. And it's important to
- 21:06understand that the power comes from
- 21:08that, not necessarily the somewhat
- 21:10arbitrary folders we created. It just
- 21:13needs to know where it's going. You
- 21:15don't have to do raw. You don't have to
- 21:16do outputs. You don't have to do any of
- 21:18this carpathy stuff. You just need a map
- 21:20for cloud code that makes sense. And
- 21:21it's probably going to be unique to you
- 21:23because your structures of your data and
- 21:25what you're trying to do are always
- 21:26going to be unique. So you have a better
- 21:30answer than anyone for how you should
- 21:31structure this. Now if you don't have
- 21:32that answer, guess who can help you?
- 21:34Claude Code. Simply tell to look at your
- 21:36vault and say, "Hey, what sort of
- 21:37structure makes sense? Oh, use
- 21:39Carpathy's obsidian rag setup for
- 21:41inspiration." That will kind of do
- 21:44everything you need it to do. The only
- 21:46other thing I would mention would be,
- 21:47hey, let's create a claw.md file that
- 21:50talks about this. In my claw.md file
- 21:52inside of my vault, it talks about my
- 21:54vault conventions, specifically the
- 21:56vault structure, aka what sort of files
- 21:58and folders it's looking at. You can see
- 21:59over here on the left, I don't just have
- 22:01three. I have several. I have content,
- 22:02notes, runs, inbox, ops, projects, etc.,
- 22:05etc. Furthermore, I have a whole thing
- 22:07about the navigation pattern,
- 22:08essentially saying, "Hey, when you're
- 22:09trying to find something, here's the
- 22:11path you should follow." And I think
- 22:13using that sort of template is very
- 22:14flexible. you can apply it to any sort
- 22:16of structure or any sort of data you're
- 22:18working with and you can come up with
- 22:20something that will be effective for
- 22:22you. So when we talk about level two
- 22:25that's what we're talking about. We're
- 22:26giving cloud code a map and it needs to
- 22:28make sense. Now this also plays into you
- 22:30know loop engineering because and skills
- 22:33and automations because all these
- 22:34outputs need to go somewhere and they
- 22:36need to be logged and they should be
- 22:37logged in a way which you know what I'm
- 22:39going to say makes sense for loop
- 22:40engineering specifically when we talk
- 22:42about self-improving
- 22:44skills and automations. Well, for that
- 22:47to work, we need somewhere where claude
- 22:51code can see what the past runs have
- 22:52done or really what the loop should be
- 22:54able to see what past runs it's done. So
- 22:55then it can make future improvements.
- 22:57And this should all be tied together in
- 22:59the same place. And if you master those
- 23:01two levels, you have 90% of the power of
- 23:05an AIOS already at your fingertips. And
- 23:07all this can be done through the
- 23:08terminal or the desktop app or anything
- 23:11because at this point you've kind of
- 23:12codified your workflows and now you have
- 23:14a way to actually see what's going on,
- 23:16record what's going on, sort of create
- 23:18your second brain and allow cloud code
- 23:20to pull out insights you otherwise
- 23:22wouldn't have in an efficient manner.
- 23:24Now level three is where we put a custom
- 23:27visual wrap around everything we've done
- 23:28up to this point. And we have a few
- 23:30options with how we do this. Obviously,
- 23:32it can be purely customized, but we can
- 23:34make this something that is purely web
- 23:36app based or something that is obsidian
- 23:38based. Now, when we talk about web
- 23:39appbased, we're talking about something
- 23:41like this. Again, this is cloud code
- 23:43under the hood. It's connected with
- 23:45Obsidian, but I now have a bunch of
- 23:47custom metrics that I have tuned for
- 23:49what I need to see. So, for me, on the
- 23:51left, it shows stuff related to my
- 23:53content creation, right? What's my
- 23:55YouTube subscriber count, Instagram, my
- 23:57latest video, my clawed 5 hour window? I
- 23:59have directives that are pulled from my
- 24:01Google calendar. I can look at documents
- 24:03that it's created. Over here on the
- 24:04right, I've taken a bunch of my
- 24:06automations and skills and I've turned
- 24:08them into just single buttons. So, if I
- 24:11just click on something like inbox
- 24:12brief, you can now see that it's cued.
- 24:15It's popped up right over here. And
- 24:17under the hood, Claude is running, going
- 24:19through my inbox, creating drafts, and
- 24:21it's going to let me know what it thinks
- 24:22is important. And the cool thing about
- 24:24this is again you can change whatever
- 24:27metrics are shown here to be whatever
- 24:29you want. The whole idea of this being a
- 24:32floor raising mechanism. The idea being
- 24:34I can now give some of the power to
- 24:35claude code to non-technical team
- 24:37members and clients. We'll talk about
- 24:38that in level four has a lot to do with
- 24:41what you see over here on the right
- 24:42where we've turned automations and
- 24:43skills into a button you can literally
- 24:46press. So instead of telling them, hey,
- 24:48learn how to use cloud code, here's a
- 24:49skill you need to install. Here's how
- 24:50you run the skill. Here's how you
- 24:51automate it. No, I'm just going to go
- 24:53ahead and I'm going to set up this AIOS
- 24:56for them. And now they can just click a
- 24:58button and it will do all that for them
- 25:00and it'll either dump it inside their
- 25:01own Obsidian or Teams Obsidian.
- 25:04>> Inbox brief is done. Inbox brief ready.
- 25:0832 threads triaged with a Gear Up
- 25:11contract and the Open AI merge campaign
- 25:14flagged urgent.
- 25:15>> All right, that's enough out of you. But
- 25:17yeah, you can hear in this case I also
- 25:18have a voice model attached to it. So I
- 25:20can talk to it. It can talk back. And
- 25:22that voice model is completely local, by
- 25:24the way. Right? That's running on my
- 25:26actual computer that isn't going out to
- 25:2811 Labs. So it's free. If I click on the
- 25:30inbox brief,
- 25:33it brings up the entire write up. And
- 25:35this too is something that I can open
- 25:37inside of Obsidian. And speaking of
- 25:39Obsidian, you can also create a command
- 25:41center, a visual layer inside of
- 25:43Obsidian itself. And that's what we see
- 25:45right here. So the metrics are a little
- 25:47bit different, but they're similar. I
- 25:49can see my token burn. I have, you know,
- 25:51the same sort of setup where I click a
- 25:53button and it runs skills or
- 25:54automations. I have different tabs. So
- 25:57for me, I want more insight into sort of
- 25:59like audience metrics that's going on
- 26:01the content side as well as some
- 26:02research stuff. So you can make this
- 26:05extremely customized. And again, the
- 26:07cell here at this point isn't the fancy
- 26:10visuals. It's that I can have a one-stop
- 26:12shop for a lot of different things that
- 26:14are a little harder to have visibility
- 26:16into when I'm strictly inside the
- 26:18terminal. Now, in terms of how you would
- 26:20create something like this, the web app
- 26:22is just like creating any sort of web
- 26:25app using cloud code. You're going to
- 26:26give it some sort of visual idea. I
- 26:28mean, obviously my exact setups you can
- 26:30find inside of Chase AI Plus, but you
- 26:32should just find some sort of, you know,
- 26:34website or setup you like. You can take
- 26:36a screenshot of this. You would dump it
- 26:38into clawed code and you essentially say
- 26:39like, hey, here's all the skills I
- 26:42already use. I want this connected to
- 26:44the vault. here are the metrics that are
- 26:46important to me that I want to see in
- 26:48one place. Let's go ahead and create
- 26:49this. Let's put a visual wrapper over
- 26:51all this. And the same deal goes for
- 26:53Obsidian. Obsidian runs in a plug-in
- 26:55system. So, you're pretty much creating
- 26:57an app, but it's specifically for
- 27:00Obsidian. And if you just tell Claude
- 27:03Code to hey say, hey, can you sort of
- 27:05take the web app we just created and
- 27:07create an Obsidian plug-in version of
- 27:09that? Again, it will give you something
- 27:10like this. And you just install it and
- 27:12run it from Obsidian. Now, a quick note
- 27:14about what's going on under the hood
- 27:16here. Now, under the hood, if I click
- 27:18one of these buttons, which again are
- 27:19related to skills. Let's say I click the
- 27:21morning brief skill. What's actually
- 27:22occurring? Well, this is essentially
- 27:24calling on a headless version of clawed
- 27:27code. So, it's just like as if I opened
- 27:29up my terminal and I have a version of
- 27:32clawed code running and it's now going
- 27:34to run, you know, forward slashming
- 27:37brief. The difference is when I click
- 27:40that button, it's doing a headless
- 27:41version of it. So, this terminal doesn't
- 27:43literally pop up on your computer. It's
- 27:45headless. It's invisible. And it uses a
- 27:48command called claude-p.
- 27:51Now, there was some drama with claude
- 27:53dashp not too long ago because Anthropic
- 27:55came out and said, "Hey, if you use
- 27:57claw-p, it's not going to pull from your
- 28:00cla subscription. It's going to pull
- 28:02from this $200 credit which is tied to
- 28:04API costs." That was kind of a problem.
- 28:06Although, they've sort of walked back
- 28:08from that and that isn't something that
- 28:10has occurred yet. So for now, this is
- 28:12still pulling from your max plan. So
- 28:13it's the same as if you opened up your
- 28:15terminal and ran it. And that's how
- 28:16we're able to create these sort of
- 28:17structures that still call on cloud
- 28:20code. We get all the power out of cloud
- 28:21code, but it's done invisibly behind the
- 28:23scenes. So when we talk about level
- 28:25three, what is this bias? Well, bias
- 28:26customization. We aren't locked into the
- 28:28terminal or the desktop app. We can have
- 28:30it show whatever we want. We also have
- 28:32the ability to give this to members of
- 28:35our team. This is what we talk about in
- 28:37level four, which is distribution. I
- 28:39mentioned a little bit earlier. If I
- 28:40hand someone this web app and it's tied
- 28:42to all these different skills, they're
- 28:44just one click away from getting a lot
- 28:45of power out of cloud code. Because
- 28:46remember, all the power comes from those
- 28:48skills and automations. If I make it
- 28:50super easy for someone to use those,
- 28:51well, it's kind of like spinning them up
- 28:53on cloud code without actually spinning
- 28:55them up on cloud code. The obvious
- 28:57question then becomes, well, how would
- 28:58you actually distribute to them? And
- 29:00there's a few options. When we're
- 29:01talking about something that's web-
- 29:02based, it's actually much easier. So
- 29:04giving something this somebody this
- 29:06versus giving them the Obsidian version
- 29:08is much simpler because since it's web-
- 29:10based I can put it on GitHub. I can, you
- 29:12know, create a whole zip folder. I it's
- 29:14very easy for me to transfer it to them
- 29:16and have it get get it up and running
- 29:18versus something like Obsidian.
- 29:21Obsidian is a little harder to work that
- 29:22way. So Obsidian would require a little
- 29:24more hands-on work from you. So if
- 29:26you're like, "Hey, I really like the
- 29:27sort of like Obsidian Command Center
- 29:29deal. How would I bring that to a member
- 29:30of a team?" Well, you would kind of have
- 29:31to set it up for them. It's not as
- 29:33straightforward. It's not much more
- 29:35difficult, but it isn't as simple as
- 29:36like, hey, there's a GitHub repo. Go
- 29:38ahead and clone it and point Cloud code
- 29:40edit. But again, the customization piece
- 29:42is a huge cell here, especially for
- 29:44those of you who are doing any sort of
- 29:46client work. I can't tell you the amount
- 29:49of people who want to use AI and want to
- 29:50use Claude, but are totally turned off
- 29:53or frankly just really scared of the
- 29:55terminal and even the desktop app. Like,
- 29:56it is a bridge too far for most people.
- 29:58If you're watching this video, you
- 29:59probably scoff at that. But I'm telling
- 30:01you, you live in a bubble that 99% of
- 30:03people just like won't go there no
- 30:04matter what you do. And being able to
- 30:06say, "Hey, instead I'm just going to
- 30:07throw you this and I'm going to set it
- 30:09up for you and you just either talk to
- 30:11it with a voice or you press a few
- 30:12buttons." It goes a long way. The sort
- 30:14of dashboard effect with a non-technical
- 30:17population like genuinely needs to be
- 30:19studied because it changes how people
- 30:20interpret these like technical tools.
- 30:22And so zooming out now that we've gone
- 30:24over levels three and four, you can see
- 30:26they're really just the cherry on top of
- 30:28the AIOS.
- 30:30Almost all the power, almost all of your
- 30:32time should be invested in these first
- 30:35two levels. The skills, the loop
- 30:37engineering is the automation, the
- 30:39codification, the memory, and the state,
- 30:41right? Can you do the same things with
- 30:43cloud code every time? Can you be
- 30:44consistent? and can we log those things
- 30:46and essentially create the second brain
- 30:48for cloud code that it can not only
- 30:50reference but use to improve upon what
- 30:52it already does. If you can figure out
- 30:55that then you're going to be well ahead
- 30:58of the general population when it comes
- 30:59to using this tool. So that is where I'm
- 31:01going to leave you for today's video. I
- 31:03hope breaking down AIOS and sort of
- 31:05these four levels made it a bit more
- 31:06clear about how these things work, where
- 31:08the value is, and how you can create
- 31:10something like this yourself. Like I
- 31:12mentioned earlier, if you want my exact
- 31:14setups, that's all inside of Chase AI
- 31:16Plus.
