An autonomous knowledge management agent for Obsidian that reads dropped sources, creates cross-referenced wiki pages, and maintains a persistent knowledge graph. It requires Claude Code for orchestration and may use the Anthropic API or Ollama for model inference.
Project overview
Autonomously creates entities, concepts, and cross-references from source documents instead of functioning solely as a question-answering chat interface.

Best for
General users, researchers, or developers who use Obsidian and want an agent to autonomously ingest sources and maintain cross-referenced wiki pages.
Users who manage parallel batch ingestion by multiple agents and need per-file advisory locking to prevent corruption.
Key capabilities
Reads dropped sources, extracts entities and concepts, updates cross-references, and files everything into a structured Obsidian vault.
Reads the hot cache, scans the index, drills into relevant pages, and synthesizes answers citing specific wiki pages.
Finds orphans, dead links, stale claims, and missing cross-references to maintain wiki health.
Routes new pages according to Generic, LYT, PARA, or Zettelkasten filing conventions.
Provides per-file advisory locks to prevent corruption during parallel batch ingestion by multiple agents.
Adds images, PDFs, notes, and text to an Obsidian canvas with zone management and auto-layout.
Limitations and risks
Switching filing methodology modes (Generic, LYT, PARA, Zettelkasten) does not auto-migrate existing files.
An optional contextual prefix tier sends page bodies to the Anthropic API if the user consents.
Getting started
Setup is rated as easy and described as taking two minutes using an automated script. The first success path is to git clone the repository, run bash bin/setup-vault.sh, and open the folder in Obsidian and Claude Code.
