Pushing the Vault to TickTick — Closing the Loop Between Obsidian and Task Management

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The vault knows everything. It has the lesson schedule, the practice sessions, the quiz material. TickTick is where the day actually runs — it sits in the calendar, it sends reminders, it blocks time. For a while those two lived separately, and any reschedule meant updating both by hand.

Today that gap is closed.

The Problem

Obsidian is the source of truth for the learning plan. But TickTick is what I actually look at during the day. When a lesson moved, I’d update the calendar note in Obsidian and then forget to touch TickTick. Or update TickTick and leave the vault behind. Either way, something was always out of sync.

Reclaim, Google Calendar, and the Morning Briefing Skill

The moment that changed the whole system was realising that Claude Code is a terrible calendar manager.

Not because it can’t do it — it can. The Google Calendar MCP integration works, skills can create and update events, everything is technically possible. The problem is cost. Every calendar operation burns tokens. Reschedule five tasks and you’ve spent more on API calls than the Reclaim monthly subscription.

So I made a clean decision: Claude Code never touches the calendar for scheduling. That’s Reclaim’s job.

Claude Code as a Vault Brain — First Steps

The DevOps Learning Command Center dashboard existed. The problem was keeping it alive.

A learning system that requires manual maintenance eventually stops being maintained. I wanted Claude Code — the terminal-based AI agent from Anthropic — to handle the vault upkeep so I could focus on the actual learning.

What Claude Code Does

Claude Code runs in your terminal and has direct access to your filesystem. It reads files, writes files, runs commands. Combined with a CLAUDE.md context file that explains who you are and what the vault is for, it becomes something like a personal assistant that actually knows your project.
