VaultForge
AI-powered tool turns PDFs into structured Obsidian vaults
Computers got 100x faster. Our learning method didn't: read, highlight, forget, repeat. VaultForge takes PDFs and applies what cognitive science knows about learning β chunking into atomic notes, building semantic networks via 5-type wikilinks, and active retrieval through guided questions. Firecrawl & Exa power deep research on consensus and controversy. β‘ Crash recovery Β· π Incremental learning Β· β 58 tests Open source, MIT. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.
I built VaultForge after watching EMBA classmates drown in 600+ pages of reading every month. Smart people, no system. They'd highlight, re-read, forget, repeat.
The management consulting method works β build a framework, define what you don't need to know, find the core debates β but it requires experts and years of practice. Luhmann's zettelkasten works, but it requires a lifetime of manual card maintenance.
VaultForge automates the mechanical work so you can do the human work: think, question, connect.
This started as a personal script. After 58 tests, 16 audit fixes, and 7 pipeline iterations, it became something worth sharing. Open source, MIT licensed. Would love your feedback β what breaks, what's confusing, what you'd want next.
