AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian
Self-organizing AI second brain for Obsidian + Claude Code. Drop any source and Claude reads, links, and files it into one connected knowledge graph of plain Markdown you own. AI note-taking, personal knowledge management (PKM), and an open-source Notion alternative. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.
Build with Backblaze B2
SDKs, agent skills, IDE extensions, and reference pipelines from Backblaze Labs. All open source.

From the README
Build an Obsidian knowledge base that becomes more useful every time you use it.
Capture sources, create connected notes, retrieve grounded answers, and keep the vault healthy—without giving up ownership of your files.
claude-obsidian is a local-first knowledge system for Claude Code and compatible Agent Skills hosts. It turns source material into linked, source-cited Obsidian pages; answers from the evidence already in the vault; and provides explicit workflows for research, retrieval, maintenance, and visual mapping.
Your vault remains a normal directory of Markdown, JSON, and source files. It is not hidden in a plugin cache, locked in a cloud database, or silently uploaded to a model.
Most AI note workflows stop after saving text. claude-obsidian is organized around a repeatable loop: retain the source, ground the claims, connect the knowledge, then put it back to work.
The output is meant to remain useful with or without an agent: plain Markdown for portability, Obsidian for navigation and visual exploration.
