Real operator. Real businesses. The practical, money-making side of AI.

~/paths/1-from-zero
[1] NEVER TOUCHED CLAUDE CODE

watch the beginner series

This path assumes nothing. There's a free video series that walks you through everything, including installing Claude Code when the time comes. All you need:

Start at Episode 1 and watch in order. Every episode builds on the one before it. By the end you have an agent with a name and a memory that never forgets.

~/paths/2-already-installed
[2] ALREADY USE CLAUDE CODE

add the ai memory vault

You already have Claude Code. This path adds the AI Memory Vault to it: my memory system, so your AI never forgets anything. It's the same system the videos build.

One thing first: Obsidian installed. It's a free app, from obsidian.md.

Then open Claude Code and paste this. It sets up the vault and moves the memory files you already have into it:

I'd like to set this up, please: https://github.com/jaredrhod/ai-memory-vault.git

I'm already using claude code so I will need to migrate any of my memory files into the Obsidian vault.

Want to watch it all get set up before you run it? The video series walks through the whole memory system in order.

Want the voice and the face too? That's path [3], step 2.

~/paths/3-jarvis
[3] THE JARVIS PATH

build a jarvis

A "Jarvis" is two free things combined. The AI Memory Vault is the brain: a memory system so your AI never forgets anything. The vault IS the Jarvis. The prompts are the body: the voice and the visualizer. Two steps. Claude Code does both for you.

$ step 1: build the brain

You need Obsidian installed: a free app, from obsidian.md.

Then open Claude Code and paste this. It builds the whole vault automatically, and it interviews you first, so the memory it builds is about your life.

I'd like to set this up, please: https://github.com/jaredrhod/ai-memory-vault.git
$ step 2: add the voice and the face
The prompts: paste one, Claude Code builds the voice and the visualizer.
$ optional: watch it get built
The "How to Set Up a Jarvis" playlist: the whole build, start to finish, in order.

Already have the vault set up? Skip to step 2.

~/paths/4-marketing
[4] THE MARKETING SIDE

teach your ai marketing

Transform your AI into an expert at digital marketing. Give the markdown files to your AI through your Obsidian vault or add them as a skill. But first, I'd recommend watching the AI Marketing Machine series on YouTube. It will help you ask your AI the right questions and understand every step of the funnel.

~/paths/5-files
[5] JUST THE FILES

the files

The AI Memory Vault: the whole memory system.
The templates: just the files. claude.md, vault index, memory.
The prompts: paste one, your agent builds the thing.
The rules: the 11 rules that keep an AI agent honest.
The marketing skills: the playbook as drop-in files.
