claude-obsidian — Claude + Obsidian Wiki Vault

This folder is both a Claude Code plugin and an Obsidian vault.

Plugin name: claude-obsidian (v1.7+ "Compound Vault" — see docs/compound-vault-guide.md; v1.8+ adds methodology modes — see docs/methodology-modes-guide.md) Skills: /wiki, /wiki-ingest, /wiki-query, /wiki-lint, /wiki-cli (v1.7), /wiki-retrieve (v1.7, opt-in), /wiki-mode (v1.8) Vault path: This directory (open in Obsidian directly)

What This Vault Is For

This vault demonstrates the LLM Wiki pattern — a persistent, compounding knowledge base for Claude + Obsidian. Drop any source, ask any question, and the wiki grows richer with every session.

Vault Structure

.raw/           source documents — immutable, Claude reads but never modifies
wiki/           Claude-generated knowledge base
_templates/     Obsidian Templater templates
_attachments/   images and PDFs referenced by wiki pages

How to Use

Drop a source file into .raw/, then tell Claude: "ingest [filename]".

Ask any question. Claude reads the index first, then drills into relevant pages.

Run /wiki to scaffold a new vault or check setup status.

Run "lint the wiki" every 10-15 ingests to catch orphans and gaps.

Cross-Project Access

To reference this wiki from another Claude Code project, add to that project's CLAUDE.md:

## Wiki Knowledge Base
Path: /path/to/this/vault

When you need context not already in this project:
1. Read wiki/hot.md first (recent context, ~500 words)
2. If not enough, read wiki/index.md
3. If you need domain specifics, read wiki/<domain>/_index.md
4. Only then read individual wiki pages

Do NOT read the wiki for general coding questions or things already in this project.

Plugin Skills

Skill	Trigger
`/wiki`	Setup, scaffold, route to sub-skills
`ingest [source]`	Single or batch source ingestion
`query: [question]`	Answer from wiki content
`lint the wiki`	Health check
`/save`	File the current conversation as a structured wiki note
`/autoresearch [topic]`	Autonomous research loop: search, fetch, synthesize, file
`/canvas`	Visual layer: add images, PDFs, notes to Obsidian canvas
`/wiki-cli` (v1.7)	Obsidian CLI transport wrapper; default mutation path on desktop
`/wiki-retrieve` (v1.7)	Hybrid contextual + BM25 + cosine-rerank retrieval (opt-in via `bash bin/setup-retrieve.sh`)
`/wiki-mode` (v1.8)	Methodology modes (LYT / PARA / Zettelkasten / Generic). Set via `bash bin/setup-mode.sh`; consumed by wiki-ingest / save / autoresearch for routing new pages
`/think` (v1.9)	The 10-principle thinking loop (OBSERVE-OBSERVE-LISTEN-THINK-CONNECT-CONNECT-FEEL-ACCEPT-CREATE-GROW) as an invocable workflow. Apply to architectural decisions, audits, post-mortems, ambiguous user requests. Every other skill has a "How to think" appendix mapping this framework to its specific work

Transport (v1.7+)

scripts/detect-transport.sh writes .vault-meta/transport.json on first run and refreshes weekly. Skills consult it before mutating the vault. Fallback chain: Obsidian CLI → mcp-obsidian → mcpvault → filesystem (always-available floor). Decision tree: wiki/references/transport-fallback.md.

Concurrency (v1.7+)

scripts/wiki-lock.sh provides per-file advisory locks for safe multi-writer ingest. Every wiki page write should be guarded by wiki-lock acquire/release. Stale-after default is 60s; cross-process release allowed by design. The PostToolUse hook defers git add while locks are held. Closes the latent multi-writer corruption hole from v1.6.

Methodology Modes (v1.8+)

Pick an organizational style for the vault via bash bin/setup-mode.sh. Four modes available: generic (v1.7 default — no opinion), LYT (Linking Your Thinking — MOCs + atomic notes), PARA (Projects/Areas/Resources/Archives), Zettelkasten (timestamped IDs, flat, dense linking). The mode is written to .vault-meta/mode.json (gitignored by default; git add -f to commit). wiki-ingest, save, and autoresearch consult python3 scripts/wiki-mode.py route <type> "<name>" before filing new pages — no special-casing needed in the consumer skills. Full guide: docs/methodology-modes-guide.md. Closes priority gap 5 from the May 2026 compass artifact.

Pre-commit verifier (v1.7.1+)

After staging changes for a non-trivial workstream but BEFORE running git commit, dispatch the verifier agent (agents/verifier.md). It reads git diff --cached, applies the /best-practices six-cut + agent kernel, and returns findings in four tiers (BLOCKER / HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW) with file:line citations. The agent has read-only tools (Read, Grep, Glob, Bash) — it can inspect but never modify, so its output is purely advisory. This closes the loop the v1.7 audit revealed: code went worker → commit with no separate verifier pass, which is how BLOCKER B1 (data-egress consent gap) slipped through. See docs/audits/v1.7.0-audit-2026-05-17.md §10 for the retrospective.

MCP (Optional)

If you configured the MCP server, Claude can read and write vault notes directly. See skills/wiki/references/mcp-setup.md for setup instructions.

Release Blog Post

After cutting a new release (git tag + gh release create), run:

/release-blog

This generates a blog post on https://agricidaniel.com/blog/, handles cover image generation, SEO metadata, FAQ schema, internal linking, sitemap/llms.txt updates, Vercel deployment, and Google indexing.
