Obsidian AI Setup

Bootstrap a fully personalized Obsidian vault with a single command.

Obsidian AI Setup is an open-source onboarding system that transforms an empty Obsidian vault<br>into a structured AI-ready knowledge base.

Instead of starting with empty folders and generic templates, the setup process interviews you,<br>imports your existing documents, and builds a personalized workspace that AI agents can immediately<br>understand.

Built for Claude Code , but compatible with any AI agent that supports Markdown-based context.

Features

🚀 One-command vault bootstrap

🧠 AI-guided onboarding (12 structured categories)

📄 Imports Markdown, PDF, DOCX, JSON, YAML, CSV and more

🔗 Understands websites, Notion pages and LinkedIn profiles

📁 Creates a production-ready Obsidian folder structure

🤖 Generates AI routing (CLAUDE.md) files automatically

📝 Produces personalized context instead of placeholder templates

🧩 Creates project workspaces from your existing information

🔒 Markdown-first, local-first, vendor-independent

Why?

Most AI assistants start every conversation with almost no context.

You spend your time repeatedly explaining:

who you are

what you build

how your business works

how your projects are organized

how you like things written

Obsidian AI Setup solves that problem once.

It builds a structured knowledge base that grows with you, allowing AI to work from long-term<br>context instead of starting over every session.

How It Works

1. Bootstrap

Creates the complete vault structure.

.claude/<br>Context/<br>Projects/<br>Daily/<br>Resources/<br>Skills/<br>Intelligence/

2. Guided Onboarding

Instead of asking dozens of disconnected questions, the assistant walks you through twelve<br>structured topics, including:

You

Your work

Business

Customers

Brand

Projects

Technology

Goals

Automation opportunities

You can answer using:

free-form writing

voice transcripts

uploaded documents

URLs

existing Markdown notes

3. Knowledge Generation

The assistant analyzes everything you've shared and generates a personalized knowledge base.

Only documents containing real information are created.

No placeholder files.

No "TODO" templates.

Just usable documentation.

Compatibility

Designed for:

Claude Code

Claude Desktop

Obsidian

Anthropic Skills

Markdown-first AI workflows

Because everything is plain Markdown, the generated vault can be used with virtually any modern LLM.

Philosophy

Your notes are not the product.

Your knowledge system is.

Obsidian AI Setup doesn't try to replace Obsidian or force a new workflow.

Instead, it builds the infrastructure that allows both humans and AI to understand the same<br>knowledge base.

Think of it as installing an operating system for your second brain.
