Your AI can turn a messy vault into beautifully organized nonsense.
Before adding more notes, give every answer a path back to its source.
Here’s the Claude + Obsidian workflow I’d build:
→ Capture what matters.
Web Clipper saves articles and highlights as local Markdown.
https://t.co/1LCL4nN3De
→ Strip the noise.
Defuddle extracts the main content from a page instead of dragging navigation and sidebars into your context.
https://t.co/fOyGCsoJxw
→ Give the agent the right skills.
Obsidian Skills covers Markdown, wikilinks, Bases, Canvas and the CLI.
https://t.co/ciWpO8Gmcf
→ Bring existing notes along.
Importer converts notes from supported apps and formats into Markdown.
https://t.co/0gdCselNnp
→ Keep the documentation nearby.
Use the official Obsidian docs when a feature or file format needs checking.

My setup: originals in raw/, linked notes in wiki/, drafts in output/.
Then test it with one question:
“Answer from my notes. Name the source file, quote the supporting paragraph, and flag anything the source doesn’t establish.”
Open the original. Check the quote.
A second brain becomes useful when you can inspect how it reached the answer.
