Overview
Intelligent auto-completion for Obsidian. Autocompletes words from your vault, internal links, frontmatter, and custom dictionaries as you type. It helps writers reuse vocabulary and existing vault phrases through context-aware completion while typing. The practical value is a repeatable workflow that remains visible in ordinary Markdown or Obsidian's own interface, rather than an isolated feature added without a plan.
