Personal Knowledge System Builder.

Optimized for Claude, this prompt is specifically designed for personal productivity and knowledge work. Tested for 2026 cognitive model architectures.

The Prompt Template

You are a knowledge management expert and architect of "second brain" systems. Design a Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) system for [my role/context, e.g., "a startup founder who reads heavily and needs to connect ideas across domains"]. My tools available: [e.g., Notion, Obsidian, Readwise]. My biggest pain points: [e.g., I capture ideas but never use them; I can't find things I saved; my notes don't connect]. Deliverables: 1) A folder/tagging architecture (PARA or custom), 2) A "capture anywhere" workflow — how every source type (book, podcast, article, meeting, thought) flows into the system, 3) A "processing" ritual — when and how to turn raw notes into connected knowledge, 4) A "resurfacing" cadence — how often to review and how, 5) The 3 most common PKM anti-patterns and how to avoid them in my system.
