Developer PKM System for Obsidian + n8n (GitHub & Readwise Automation Suite)

Stop wasting hours organizing your knowledge. Start shipping more code with a PKM that runs itself.

You lose 5–10 hours every week cleaning notes, copying GitHub issues into Obsidian, and turning Readwise highlights into something usable. You context-switch, lose track of tasks, and end up with a vault that feels more like a junk drawer than a system.

The Developer PKM System gives you a production-grade Obsidian vault and a suite of n8n automations that sync GitHub issues, PRs, and Readwise highlights with zero manual work. You get a fully wired, fault-tolerant workflow designed for engineers who want documentation to happen automatically, not as another task on the backlog.

What's Included:
• A complete Obsidian vault structure used in real engineering teams, with folders, metadata conventions, and link rules that prevent note collisions and broken references.
• 7 production-ready n8n workflows with retry logic, rate limit handling, and safe-update routines.
• GitHub Issue Sync workflow that converts issues and PRs into structured Obsidian notes using engineering-grade templates.
• Readwise to Obsidian workflow that transforms highlights into clean, tagged, context-rich engineering notes.
• Daily Inbox workflow that aggregates tasks, commits, issues, and reading notes into one actionable dashboard.
• Templates for feature docs, bug reports, architecture notes, and research summaries.
• Setup guide that removes the typical 4-hour wiring process required to make GitHub, Obsidian, and Readwise work together.

This system is built from workflows used in production environments where documentation, traceability, and knowledge retention are non-negotiable. These automations were refined across real engineering teams that needed reliability far beyond what DIY scripts provide.

Who This Is For:
• Developers who want GitHub issues and PRs to automatically appear in Obsidian as clean, linked notes.
• Engineers drowning in Readwise highlights who want them turned into structured, searchable documentation.
• Builders who want a PKM that stays organized without needing weekly maintenance.

Who This Is NOT For:
• Anyone who enjoys customizing every detail of their PKM from scratch.
• People who want a note-taking app, not an automated engineering workflow.

Guarantee: If this doesn’t cut your manual PKM time to under 30 minutes per week, reach out for a full refund.
