Claude + Obsidian knowledge companion. Sets up a persistent, compounding wiki vault. Covers memory management, session notetaking, knowledge organization, and agent context across projects. Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. Optional DragonScale Memory extension adds hierarchical log folds, deterministic page addresses, embedding-based semantic tiling lint, and boundary-first autoresearch topic selection. Fork of AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian.

Run an autonomous research loop on a topic. Searches the web, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages.
Open, create, or update a visual canvas — add images, text, PDFs, wiki pages, and banana-generated assets to Obsidian canvas files.
Save the current conversation or a specific insight into the wiki vault as a structured note.
Bootstrap or check the claude-obsidian wiki vault. Reads the wiki skill and runs setup workflow.
Parallel batch ingestion agent for the Obsidian wiki vault. Dispatched when multiple sources need to be ingested simultaneously. Processes one source fully (read, extract, file entities and concepts, update index) then reports what was created and updated. Use when the user says "ingest all", "batch ingest", or provides multiple files at once. <example>Context: User drops 5 transcript files into .raw/ and says "ingest all of these" assistant: "I'll dispatch parallel agents to process all 5 sources simultaneously." </example> <example>Context: User says "process everything in .raw/ that hasn't been ingested yet" assistant: "I'll use wiki-ingest agents to handle each source in parallel." </example>
Comprehensive wiki health check agent. Scans for orphan pages, dead links, stale claims, missing cross-references, frontmatter gaps, and empty sections. Generates a structured lint report. Dispatched when the user says "lint the wiki", "health check", "wiki audit", or "clean up". <example>Context: User says "lint the wiki" after 15 ingests assistant: "I'll dispatch the wiki-lint agent for a full health check." </example> <example>Context: User says "find all orphan pages" assistant: "I'll use the wiki-lint agent to scan for pages with no inbound links." </example>
Autonomous iterative research loop. Takes a topic, runs web searches, fetches sources, synthesizes findings, and files everything into the wiki as structured pages. Based on Karpathy's autoresearch pattern: program.md configures objectives and constraints, the loop runs until depth is reached, output goes directly into the knowledge base. Triggers on: "/autoresearch", "autoresearch", "research [topic]", "deep dive into [topic]", "investigate [topic]", "find everything about [topic]", "research and file", "go research", "build a wiki on".
Visual layer of the wiki. Add images, text cards, PDFs, and wiki pages to Obsidian canvas files with auto-positioning inside zones. Integrates with /banana for image capture. Triggers on: /canvas, canvas new, canvas add image, canvas add text, canvas add pdf, canvas add note, canvas zone, canvas list, canvas from banana, add to canvas, put this on the canvas, open canvas, create canvas.
Strip clutter from web pages before ingesting into the wiki. Removes ads, navigation, headers, footers, and boilerplate: leaving clean readable markdown that saves 40-60% tokens. Triggers on: defuddle, clean this page, strip this url, fetch and clean, clean web content before ingesting, strip ads, remove clutter, clean URL content, readable markdown from URL.
Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files): Obsidian's native database layer for dynamic tables, card views, list views, filters, formulas, and summaries over vault notes. Triggers on: create a base, add a base file, obsidian bases, base view, filter notes, formula, database view, dynamic table, task tracker base, reading list base.
Write correct Obsidian Flavored Markdown: wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, tags, highlights, math, and canvas syntax. Reference this when creating or editing any wiki page. Triggers on: write obsidian note, obsidian syntax, wikilink, callout, embed, obsidian markdown, wikilink format, callout syntax, embed syntax, obsidian formatting, how to write obsidian markdown.
Claude + Obsidian knowledge companion. A running notetaker that builds and maintains a persistent, compounding wiki vault. Every source you add gets integrated. Every question you ask pulls from everything that has been read. Knowledge compounds like interest.
Based on Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern. 11 skills. Zero manual filing. Multi-agent support. Optional DragonScale Memory extension (log folds, deterministic page addresses, semantic tiling lint, boundary-first autoresearch).
You drop sources. Claude reads them, extracts entities and concepts, updates cross-references, and files everything into a structured Obsidian vault. The wiki gets richer with every ingest.
You ask questions. Claude reads the hot cache (recent context), scans the index, drills into relevant pages, and synthesizes an answer. It cites specific wiki pages, not training data.
You lint. Claude finds orphans, dead links, stale claims, and missing cross-references. Your wiki stays healthy without manual cleanup.
At the end of every session, Claude updates a hot cache. The next session starts with full recent context, no recap needed.
Most Obsidian AI plugins are chat interfaces - they answer questions about your existing notes. claude-obsidian is a knowledge engine - it creates, organizes, maintains, and evolves your notes autonomously.

git clone https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian
cd claude-obsidian
bash bin/setup-vault.sh
Open the folder in Obsidian: Manage Vaults → Open folder as vault → select claude-obsidian/
Open Claude Code in the same folder. Type /wiki.
setup-vault.shconfiguresgraph.json(filter + colors),app.json(excludes plugin dirs), andappearance.json(enables CSS). Run it once before the first Obsidian open. You get the fully pre-configured graph view, color scheme, and wiki structure out of the box.
Plugin installation is a two-step process in Claude Code. First add the marketplace catalog, then install the plugin from it.
# Step 1: add the marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian
# Step 2: install the plugin
claude plugin install claude-obsidian@claude-obsidian-marketplace
In any Claude Code session: /wiki. Claude walks you through vault setup.
