These are the commands that I currently use when I am using [[Obsidian]] with [[Claude Code]], or any agent. These commands work most effectively if you have the [Obsidian CLI ](https://help.obsidian.md/cli) installed. Some of them also require connections to other MCPs like Google Calendar, Google Tasks, and GMail. You can obviously adjust that however you would like.
I shared some more about how I’m using [[Obsidian]] and [[Claude Code]] on [[Greg Isenberg]]’s show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MBq1paspVU

22 commands. All run against an Obsidian vault with daily notes, context files, and linked thinking. Claude Code reads the vault in real time, every time.
