# ai-creator-os

> an AI operating system for creators — Obsidian vault as memory layer, Claude as chief of staff, MCP as the connective tissue. every workflow is simultaneously a tool, a content piece, and a product.

this repo documents a personal AI operating system used to run a real creator business: content strategy, music releases, consulting, novel writing, and monetization. it's structured so that another AI assistant can navigate it precisely — every content file has YAML frontmatter declaring its title, description, and tags.

primary use cases: setting up your own AI operating system on Obsidian + Claude + MCP, learning MCP server architecture, building workflows where the documentation is the product.
