BuddyBridge is an unofficial Obsidian plugin that bridges your vault with the local WorkBuddy / CodeBuddy CLI. It opens a chat panel inside Obsidian, streams AI responses, displays thinking steps and tool calls, and keeps your conversation history across sessions.

Requirements

• Obsidian 1.7.2 or later (desktop).

2. Copy the three files into .obsidian/plugins/buddybridge/ inside your vault.
