Obsidian AI Agent — AI skill for Claude Code

[!NOTE] This project is archived.

• If I was approaching this project today, I'd use Agent Client Protocol (from the Zed team) as a better interface to AI CLIs as this project is doing: https://github.com/RAIT-09/obsidian-agent-client
• Also, look to: https://github.com/polyipseity/obsidian-terminal and the Obsidian CLI: https://obsidian.md/help/cli for better alternatives to this project.

Obsidian AI Agent

Bring AI agents directly into your Obsidian vault. This plugin integrates AI agent CLIs (currently Claude Code) seamlessly with Obsidian - allowing you to chat with AI, edit files, and manage your knowledge base without leaving your workspace.

Why?

Working with AI shouldn't break your flow or lose context about your vault.

This plugin aims to keep Claude context-aware of your Obsidian environment while letting you stay in your workspace instead of switching to terminal. It also has some magics 🪄 to help you manage context more effectively.

See the [roadmap](#roadmap) for upcoming features I'm looking to incorporate.

Features

• Direct AI integration: Chat with Claude Code directly in Obsidian's interface
• File-first approach: AI agents can read, edit, and create files in your vault
• Context-aware: Automatically includes relevant vault context in conversations
• Real-time collaboration: See AI edits happen live in your Obsidian interface
• "Bash is all you need" + "files over apps" = <3: Claude's "bash is all you need" philosophy aligns perfectly with Obsidian's "files over apps" approach — no proprietary formats or magics, just direct file editing
