What problem does it solve?

This skill automates local Obsidian plugin development loops by establishing a reliable hot-reload workflow that rebuilds, symlinks artifacts into the vault, and reloads the plugin on changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detects and prefers repo-local helpers (eg, start-local-hot-reload.sh) to orchestrate the loop.
  • Ensures the local server runs on port 8080 and injects KEEPSIDIAN_SERVER_URL into the watch build.
  • Symlinks plugin artifacts (main.js, manifest.json, styles.css) into the Obsidian vault and reloads the plugin automatically.
  • Watches build outputs (via fswatch or equivalent) and triggers Obsidian plugin reloads for rapid iteration.
  • Supports local-vault testing workflows and KeepSidian development setups.

Quick Start

Start the local hot-reload loop by using a repo-local helper if present, or follow the described steps to run the backend, symlink artifacts, run npm run dev, and watch for changes to reload the plugin.
