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 into a structured AI-ready knowledge base.
Instead of starting with empty folders and generic templates, the setup process interviews you, imports your existing documents, and builds a personalized workspace that AI agents can immediately 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 context instead of starting over every session.
How It Works
- Bootstrap
Creates the complete vault structure.
.claude/ Context/ Projects/ Daily/ Resources/ Skills/ Intelligence/
- Guided Onboarding
Instead of asking dozens of disconnected questions, the assistant walks you through twelve 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
- 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 knowledge base.
Think of it as installing an operating system for your second brain.
