SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of setting up an Obsidian vault that actually fits how you work, so you can start capturing, organizing, and using your notes immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Role-based vault structure generation: Infers a role and builds a tailored folder tree for work (and optionally personal life) including inbox, daily capture, projects, and archive.
  • Ready-to-run Claude Code context and slash commands: Creates CLAUDE.md plus .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md entries for daily briefings, session TL;DR, and role-specific context loading.
  • Operational memory scaffolding: Writes a memory.md template and a workflow for logging session context and updating preferences over time.

Quick Start

Tell your AI to run the vault-setup skill from inside the folder you want to become your Obsidian vault and respond to the prompt about yourself, then say build it to create the vault structure and Claude configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an Obsidian vault structure that fits my specific role?

Obsidian vault setup is automated by providing a free-text description of your work, which generates a tailored folder tree with inbox, daily capture, projects, and archive areas without further questioning.

Can I generate Claude Code slash commands for my personal knowledge management workflow?

Yes, generating Claude Code slash commands is possible during vault setup, which creates CLAUDE.md and embedded skill prompts for daily briefings, session TL;DR, and role-specific context loading.

What is the best way to create operational memory scaffolding for Obsidian and Claude Code?

The best way to create operational memory scaffolding is by generating a memory.md template alongside your vault, which establishes a workflow for logging session context and updating preferences over time.

Do I need to answer multiple questions to generate a personalized Obsidian vault?

No additional questioning is needed; the vault setup process infers your role and builds the appropriate folder layout and Claude Code configuration directly from a single free-text self-description.

Does Claude Code work with Obsidian for daily capture routines and session summaries?

Claude Code integrates with Obsidian by generating slash commands and embedded skill prompts that facilitate daily capture routines and session TL;DR summaries directly within the vault structure.
