i built a wiki that knows everything about my life

it started because i kept forgetting things.

not important things like appointments or tasks. just the texture of days. what i was thinking about three months ago. which habit i dropped and when. why i made a certain decision.

so i started a wiki.

the wiki

it lives in Obsidian. everything goes in: daily notes, spending, goals, projects, music, people, habits. structured as entities, concepts, and sources. each with frontmatter, each linked to others.

the key insight was separating raw (immutable source files) from wiki (LLM-generated pages). i drop a file in raw/, Claude reads it, and writes structured wiki pages. i own the sources. Claude owns the synthesis layer.

the Telegram bot

once the wiki had enough data, i wanted to query it conversationally. so i built @Apollo26TeleBot.

it wakes up every morning, reads a window of wiki context (open loops, current goals, recent entries) and generates a daily briefing. it also responds to questions: "what did i spend last week", "what projects am i supposed to be working on", "remind me why i started this".

the bot doesn't replace memory. it extends it.

autonomous agents (in progress)

the next phase is a team of TypeScript agents running on Windows Task Scheduler:

• ingest agent: watches raw/ for new files, auto-processes them
• wiki sync agent: keeps Supabase in sync with the markdown wiki
• weekly review agent: generates my weekly summary automatically
• reminder agent: surfaces time-sensitive items from open-loops

most of these are half-built. the architecture is solid though.

what i actually use it for

• remembering context from past conversations and decisions
• tracking goals without losing momentum between sessions
• having something that "knows me" that i can actually query
• being honest with myself about what i'm actually doing vs. what i think i'm doing

the last one is the most valuable and the most uncomfortable.

the whole system is on GitHub if you want to look: boyzwhocried/personal-os
