Overview
Claude Obsidian is one Claude Code integration with several related commands, not five separately installed products. The suite groups conversation capture, research synthesis, JSON Canvas creation, vault querying, and wiki linting behind one repository and installation path. Keeping the commands together makes their shared vault access, review requirements, and safety boundary clear.
Key Features
- Session saving and structured note output
- Research, vault query, and wiki lint workflows
- Native Markdown and JSON Canvas outputs for Obsidian
How to Install Claude Obsidian Suite
- 1Read the current installation instructions in the source repository.
- 2Install the complete suite rather than copying an isolated command description.
- 3Open a fresh Claude Code session inside a disposable vault and confirm the commands are available.
- 4Grant only the filesystem and network access required for the command being tested.
How to Use Claude Obsidian Suite
Start with the save command on a non-sensitive test session and inspect the generated frontmatter, filename, and links. Test research with a narrow topic and verify every external source. Test canvas output by opening the .canvas file in Obsidian. Run query and lint commands read-only first, then review any proposed edits as a normal file diff.
Command Map
- save: preserve selected session material as a structured vault note.
- autoresearch: collect and synthesize sources into a reviewable research note.
- canvas: create a JSON Canvas diagram that can be opened and edited in Obsidian.
- wiki-query: answer a question from vault notes while retaining wikilink references.
- wiki-lint: report structural, link, or metadata issues for review.
Safety Boundary
The suite does not make generated summaries correct or grant access by itself. Claude Code permissions determine which files and networks are available. Use a versioned vault, keep private folders outside broad research context, and inspect every write before accepting a bulk operation.
What does this skill do?
The suite provides coordinated commands for saving a session into Markdown, researching a topic into a sourced note, producing a .canvas file, querying existing notes with wikilink references, and checking wiki structure. All operations still run through the permissions available to the Claude Code session.
Best for
- Keeping selected Claude Code work as reviewable Markdown notes
- Running a sourced research workflow that ends in the vault
- Creating canvases and maintaining links from one installed suite
How it works
- Install the repository once in the supported Claude Code environment.
- Choose the command that matches the current task instead of installing command pages separately.
- Review the proposed sources and vault file changes before accepting them.
- Open generated Markdown and Canvas files in Obsidian to verify links and rendering.
