How I Turned 6 Cognitive Science Principles Into an AI Agent That Builds Obsidian Vaults

In 30 years, computers got 100x faster. Our learning method stayed the same: read → highlight → re-read → forget → re-read again. I shared with EMBA students who have to digest hundreds of pages of materials every month - textbooks, case studies, industry reports. They have demanding jobs, families, and a finite number of hours. The ones who fall behind aren't less capable. They just don't have a system. A few months ago I found a way to break that cycle. It combines a century-old insight about how knowledge works with modern AI. I open-sourced the result as VaultForge.
