🤖 claudesidian

Claude Code × Obsidian, automated. Save any Claude response to your vault with a single command — no copy-paste, no faff, just vibes.

✨ What is this?

You're mid-conversation with Claude, it just dropped an absolute banger of an explanation, and you think "I want that in my Obsidian vault forever."

Normally you'd copy it, switch apps, create a note, paste it, add a title, sort the formatting... ugh.

With claudesidian, you just type /send-to-vault. That's it. Claude writes the note, dates it, adds frontmatter, and drops it straight into your vault. Obsidian picks it up instantly. You stay in flow. 🌊

🚀 Install

npx claudesidian

You'll get a beautiful interactive setup that:

• 📋 Explains exactly what it's going to do before doing anything
• 📍 Shows you the locations it'll write to
• 🔐 Lists the permissions it'll add to Claude Code
• ✅ Asks for confirmation before touching a single file

🎮 Usage

In any Claude Code conversation, just type:

/send-to-vault

Claude will:

1. 🔍 Grab the last response from the conversation
2. 📅 Generate a dated filename — e.g. 2026-02-27 React Query Setup Guide.md
3. 📝 Wrap it in YAML frontmatter (created, source: claude)
4. 💾 Write it straight to your vault folder

Obsidian detects the new file immediately. No plugin needed. Pure filesystem magic. 🪄

⚙️ Configuration

Config lives at ~/.claude/vault-config.json:

{
  "vault_path": "~/Documents/MyVault",
  "folder": "🤖 Inbox"
}

To reconfigure (e.g. new vault, different folder), just run npx claudesidian again — it'll show your current settings and let you update them.

🔐 Permissions

claudesidian automatically configures the right Claude Code permissions in ~/.claude/settings.json so you're never interrupted mid-save with an approval prompt:

| Permission | What it allows | |---|---| | Write(~/your-vault/**) | Creating new notes | | Edit(~/your-vault/**) | Updating existing notes | | Bash(mkdir -p ~/your-vault/*) | Creating folders (scoped to your vault) | | Read(~/.claude/vault-config.json) | Reading your config |

These are scoped to your vault path — nothing broader than it needs to be.

📦 Requirements
