Show HN: An AI agent in Obsidian that can (sort of) write plugins
This is a plugin for Obsidian [1] that can extend Obsidian with custom functionality.
There's a demo video in the readme.
Why?
Obsidian is a note taking app with tons of extensions. Even so, there must be hyper-niche use cases that aren't being served by any existing extension. LLMs are decent at coding though, so maybe an LLM can write custom functionality on demand.
That's the experiment, to see if you can customize your notes app simply by asking the LLM.
The obvious caveat is that the plugin is only as good as the LLM driving it. I've been very pleasantly surprised by how capable Sonnet 3.7 is at writing Obsidian code (without examples). However, even so, it is far from perfect.
Is this useful?
It's _interesting_, but I'm not sure yet how useful it is. The AI doesn't always succeed, and the combination of prompt + model will make or break the experience.
I'm looking to get feedback.
Broadly speaking I'd love to see more software that could be customized to meet extremely specific user needs.
