What it does

Claude-Obsidian is a self-organizing AI second brain that reads, links, and files sources into a connected knowledge graph of plain Markdown for Obsidian and Claude Code.

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian.git

When to use it

•When you need to organize and connect a large number of notes and sources in Obsidian
•When you want to use AI-powered note-taking and personal knowledge management
•When you're looking for an open-source alternative to Notion with advanced AI features

Quick start

1Create a new Obsidian vault and add the claude-obsidian plugin
2Configure the plugin by creating a `config.json` file with your Claude API key
3Drop a source (e.g. a Markdown file or a URL) into the `inbox` folder
4Run the `claude` command to process the source and create a new note
5Explore the generated knowledge graph by opening the `graph.md` file

Ready-to-paste prompt

Drop a Markdown file containing a research paper into the `inbox` folder and run `claude --source inbox/research_paper.md --output graph.md` to generate a new note with links and connections

Heads up: Make sure you have a Claude API key and Python 3.8 or later installed before running the `claude` command, as the plugin relies on these dependencies to function correctly
