Obsidian Bootstrap

A Claude Code skill that helps you create and configure personalized Obsidian vaults through an interactive wizard.

Features

• Interactive Setup: Guided wizard that asks about your workflows and preferences
• Smart Detection: Evaluates existing vaults and resumes from where you left off
• Pre-configured Plugins: Includes essential plugins (Dataview, Templater, QuickAdd, Tasks, etc.)
• Personalized Guide: Generates a Getting Started guide tailored to your setup
• Beginner-Friendly: Uses plain language, avoids jargon like "PARA" or "Zettelkasten"

Usage

git clone https://github.com/jshph/obsidian-bootstrap
cd obsidian-bootstrap
claude

Then just describe what you want:

• "Help me set up an Obsidian vault"
• "Create a new vault in ./notes"
• "I have an existing vault at ~/obsidian - help me configure it"

The wizard will guide you through:

1. Vault Setup: Name and location for your vault
2. Workflow Discovery: Questions about how you'll use Obsidian
3. Plugin Selection: Automatic selection based on your needs
4. Configuration: QuickAdd macros, templates, and hotkeys
5. Getting Started Guide: Personalized documentation for your vault
