Zero to Obsidian CLI Pro in 90 minutes
This workshop is where you build the personal AI system with Claude Code + Obsidian CLI.
90 minutes. By the end, Claude Code reads your vault, updates your tasks, writes to your daily note. On your machine, with your data.
What we're building:
Here, we skip the tour and go straight to building:
Set up the full stack - Obsidian CLI + Claude Code connected to your vault. I'll troubleshoot PATH issues, permission errors, and whatever else breaks live.
CLAUDE.md for your vault - Teach Claude Code where your daily notes are, how your tasks are tagged, what your frontmatter looks like. Without this, Claude treats your vault like a random folder.
Build a real workflow end-to-end - A full loop: capture a thought from your phone -> it lands in your daily note -> Claude reads your dashboard -> picks the right task -> marks it done -> updates the status.
Vault health audit on YOUR vault - Dead ends, orphans, broken links. Then Claude Code generates a cleanup plan.
What you need:
Obsidian 1.12+ (early access - requires Catalyst license, $25 one-time)
Claude Code installed and working
A vault with some notes in it (doesn't need to be organized)
Who this is for:
You've maybe tried connecting AI to your vault before and it felt hacky - editing raw markdown, breaking links, no structured access. This fixes that.
