About

What it does

ismaelmartinez-local-brain is a Claude Code plugin bundle around a local-first personal knowledge base that combines note linking with semantic search powered by local LLMs such as Ollama. Solo builders who care about privacy and offline-capable workflows can capture ideas, connect references, and ask natural-language questions over their notes and repository without sending content to hosted search APIs. The tooling emphasizes Python, CLI usage, and agent-style tool calling so Claude Code sessions can explore a codebase, support lightweight code-review context, and pull from a personal brain that stays on your machine. It suits indie hackers documenting decisions during research, validating scope, and iterating in Build, though it is not a hosted team wiki or a full production observability stack. Register the plugin, point it at your local models and vault, and use it whenever you need retrievable, linkable context inside agent sessions.

Highlights

  • Local-first personal knowledge base with on-device storage
  • AI-powered semantic search across notes and linked content
  • Ollama and local model support for private LLM queries
  • Python CLI with tool-calling for exploring a codebase
  • Note linking graph for research and code-review context

Why builders use it

Cloud note tools and generic search do not understand your repo and notes together, and they leak sensitive indie project context off your machine.

After you add the plugin, Claude Code workflows can query and link your private notes and codebase context through Ollama-backed semantic search without leaving local storage.
