What does claude-obsidian do?
claude-obsidian is a set of 16 skills that builds and maintains an Obsidian vault as a Markdown wiki Claude fills from your sources. The wiki skill sets up a new vault or adopts an existing one through a bundled Python script, always as a dry run first, applying only after you approve the plan's hash. It then routes work: wiki-ingest files sources, wiki-query answers from the vault without writing, save stores a chosen result, autoresearch searches the web under a budget, wiki-lint checks vault health, wiki-fold rolls up logs and canvas works with canvases. Each change is one recoverable transaction, and nothing is committed to Git automatically.
