Claudesidian is a pre-configured Obsidian vault template that pairs with Claude Code to function as a structured personal knowledge management system. Users clone or download the repository, open it with Claude Code, and run the `/init-bootstrap` setup wizard, which installs dependencies, analyzes any existing Obsidian vault, creates a personalized CLAUDE.md configuration, and optionally connects external tools including Gemini Vision for image analysis and Firecrawl for web research. The vault follows the PARA organizational method across five numbered folders (Inbox, Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive). It ships with over a dozen agent skills stored in `.agents/skills/` as SKILL.md files, covering tasks like daily review, weekly synthesis, PR creation, and a `de-ai-ify` skill that strips AI writing patterns from text. Skills trigger automatically from natural language descriptions rather than explicit slash commands. The template is compatible with Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor, and Pi, making it relevant to knowledge workers and developers who want a version-controlled, AI-assisted note-taking workflow.
