I Used Claude Code for 8 Months — Here's What Actually Stuck
The three-agent, vault-backed Claude Code setup that survived eight months of daily use.
What you’ll build
A three-agent Claude Code setup — one agent for your personal brand, one for your business, one for your personal life — where each agent has its own memory vault and a library of reusable skills you invoke instead of doing the work by hand. This lesson gives you the exact skills I demoed, free to download and drop into your own setup.
What you’ll need
- Claude Code installed
- An Obsidian vault per agent (memory / context store)
- A Notion account (for the idea + task skills)
- A Google account with Fathom connected (for the meeting skills)
- The free skill repo — link in Resources
Step 1: Split your work into three agents
Don’t run one do-everything agent. Give each domain its own agent with its own CLAUDE.md and its own vault:
- Axiom — personal brand: diagrams, Notion ideas, content editing + scheduling
- Atlas — business operations: call prep, meeting notes, contracts, cold email, books
- Jarvis — personal life: journaling, open loops, finances, morning brief
Four universal skills live in all three (/wrap, /superpowers, /skill-builder, /llm-council). Everything else is agent-specific.
Step 2: Give every agent a vault
Each agent is connected to its own Obsidian vault — a Wikipedia of everything you’ve done in that domain. This is the real unlock. A session only remembers what’s in CLAUDE.md, and answers degrade past ~200K tokens. A vault feeds the agent deep context on demand, so builds and answers come out 10x better.
Keep the vaults separate: brand knowledge (hooks, scripts) in Axiom’s, client/pricing/meeting knowledge in Atlas’s, journal + personal in Jarvis’s.
Step 3: Turn rambles into structured Notion entries
Install /notion-brain on your brand agent. When a video idea hits you, ramble at it for 5–10 minutes and it structures the whole thing into your Notion idea database — difficulty, form, status, tags, and a page outline you can build diagrams, thumbnails, and scripts from.
Axiom, ingest this video idea into the Notion database: <ramble>
Step 4: Generate architecture diagrams in seconds
/excalidraw-diagram builds video-grade diagrams with real logos and self-renders them to PNG so you can QA before using them. Point it at a concept and it draws it.
Excalidraw, draw a diagram of my content repurposing pipeline
Step 5: Automate meeting notes and prep
Connect Fathom to your work email so it joins every Google Meet and records a transcript. Then:
/meeting-notespulls the transcript from Fathom and outputs key takeaways, decisions, and action items — drops the doc in Drive and pushes tasks to your team hub. No note-taking during the call./meeting-preppulls every open task from the team hub into a talking-points doc before your weekly internal call, and confirms with you before it builds.
Together they make a loop: notes create tasks → next week’s prep checks those same tasks got done.
Step 6: Journal + track open loops with Jarvis
At the end of the day, message Jarvis (I do it from Telegram) with what you got done and what’s still open:
Just wrapped recording the skills video. Took way longer to set up the demos than I figured. Open loop: still need to finish editing.
It appends to your journal vault and tracks the loop status. Open loops = anything nagging at you that isn’t finished. Close them to free up mental energy.
Step 7: Add the universal skills
These four run under everything — install them first:
/wrap— end of a build session, this saves the lessons and memory so the agent actually gets better instead of starting from scratch every time. This is how I fixed meeting-prep: reiterate, then/wrap./superpowers— brainstorm → plan → build → verify rails. Invoke it for anything complex (a portal, an app) so it plans before it builds. Ships from a public repo (link in Resources)./skill-builder— the skill that builds skills, in the structure Claude invokes best. Use it for every new skill./llm-council— five frontier models (via OpenRouter) argue a big decision from different angles, then Claude chairs the final verdict. Kills the yes-man problem.
Step 8: Stress-test plans with /grilling
When plan mode only asks 2–4 questions and you want more rigor, /grilling hammers you with 10–20 questions to nail down exactly what you’re building before a single line gets written.
Step 9: Run all three at once
The point isn’t any one skill — it’s running the agents in parallel and swapping between them while they work. A real morning: Jarvis runs your morning brief, Axiom generates a thumbnail, a finance skill reconciles your cards, meeting-notes runs during your call — all at the same time. You’re invoking skills, not doing manual work.
