It turns source material into\nlinked, source-cited Obsidian pages; answers from the evidence already in the\nvault; and provides explicit workflows for research, retrieval, maintenance,\nand visual mapping.\n\nYour vault remains a normal directory of Markdown, JSON, and source files. It is\nnot hidden in a plugin cache, locked in a cloud database, or silently uploaded\nto a model.\n\n## From source to living knowledge\n\nMost AI note workflows stop after saving text. claude-obsidian is organized\naround a repeatable loop: retain the source, ground the claims, connect the\nknowledge, then put it back to work.\n\n\n\n- **Capture with context.** Bring local sources through a visible inbox and\n  preserve immutable, content-addressed copies before synthesis.\n- **Ground every important claim.** Source and claim ledgers retain authority,\n  freshness, support, contradiction, confidence, and review state.\n- **Connect what you learn.** Build linked pages, indexes, Maps of Content,\n  methodology-aware structures, and Obsidian Canvas views.\n- **Use the vault again.** Query, research, retrieve, lint, and fold what is\n  already known instead of starting every conversation from zero.\n\n## See the vault\n\nThe output is meant to remain useful with or without an agent: plain Markdown\nfor portability, Obsidian for navigation and visual exploration.\n\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n  Linked knowledge in Graph view · A visual knowledge map in Obsidian Canvas\n\n\n## Why it fe
