LLM-maintained knowledge base for Obsidian vaults. Auto-triggers on paper sharing, vault health queries, concept compilation, research questions, and domain…

A Claude Code plugin that turns any folder into an LLM-maintained knowledge base. Inspired by the commonplace book tradition and Karpathy's approach to using LLMs for personal wiki management.
Works on any directory — Obsidian vault, plain folder, whatever. Obsidian is not required; it's just a good browser for [[wikilink]] markdown if you use it.
.wiki/, discover initial domainsSkills auto-trigger from natural conversation. You never type slash commands — just chat and the right skill activates.

2 * commonplace function-hooks module — ambient connection surfacing.
3 *
4 * EARLY ACCESS. Loads only when CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1; without
5 * the flag this file is inert and the shell hooks in hooks.json are the whole
6 * plugin. See the vault's handbook note on building on Claude Code function
7 * hooks for the API's verified constraints and the migration checklist.
8 *
9 * WHAT THIS DOES
10 * The vault's most-wanted behaviour — "tell me when something I'm discussing
11 * connects to something I already wrote" — has until now been prompt text
12 * asking the model to remember to look. It fired unreliably because nothing
13 * enforced it. This hook makes it a mechanism: at the end of every turn, check
14 * whether the answer touches vault material, and if it genuinely does, render
15 * one line beneath the answer. The model is not asked to do anything.
16 *
17 * DOCTRINE (see CLAUDE.md, "No RAG — grep finds, reading connects")
18 * Both seed tiers are JUMPING-OFF POINTS, never the answer. A candidate is only
19 * surfaced after the note itself is read and a model call judges the connection
20 * real. Neither token overlap nor a PPR score ever reaches the user alone.
21 *
22 * Seeding is two-tiered. The free lexical pass over the indexes can only reach
23 * notes sharing a literal token with the answer; when it comes up empty, a PPR
24 * walk over the content graph (`commonplace connect`) can reach a note sharing
25 * none — the motivating example in CLAUDE.md, which was unreachable here until
26 * v1.61.0. This is still a cheap ambient layer, not a replacement for
27 * wiki-query, which does the iterative search this deliberately does not.
28 *
29 * COST
30 * Turns that fail the free in-module prefilter cost nothing. A turn that passes
31 * costs one classify (~700ms); if that says technical-substance, a lexical seed
32 * (free) or, on a miss, a graph walk (~400ms), then one read (~2ms) and one
33 * completion (~900ms). All of it runs AFTER the answer is on screen, so none of
34 * it is on the user's critical path. Rate-limited and circuit-broken below.
35 *
36 * SCANNER CONSTRAINTS
37 * The static scanner requires `register` to be a top-level const function, `on`
38 * to take string-literal event names, and `$` to appear only as `$.noun.verb()`
39 * at a call site — never bound, spread, stored or returned. It MAY be passed to
40 * a function declared in THIS file (see `ensureVaultPath`), but never across an
41 * import, so helpers in `lib/` take plain values or a Ports object of arrows.

8 *
9 * Two CLAUDE.md hard rules exist precisely because prose has not stopped the

11 *
12 * 1. "Never use Python or shell one-liners to parse JSON" — the vault's
13 * `.wiki/*.jsonl` indexes are for Grep, JSON config is for Read, and the
14 * plugin's scripts are reached through the `commonplace` CLI, never by
15 * `npx tsx scripts/...`.
16 * 2. Private vault content must never land in a public repo — test fixtures
17 * are invented, not copied.
18 *
19 * BIAS: this plugin is global, so a false positive blocks real work in a repo
20 * that has nothing to do with the vault. Every rule below therefore requires
21 * two independent signals (a vault artifact AND a parser; a distinctive
22 * multi-word title AND a verbatim match) before it denies. Misses are
23 * accepted; blocking a stranger's `jq . package.json` is not.

2 * Steering for Agent dispatches that are really vault research.
3 *
4 * WHY THIS REPLACES A DENY
5 * v1's `agent-guard` shell hook caught the same failure — a general-purpose
6 * Agent sent off to re-implement wiki-query's iterative search — by DENYING the
7 * dispatch after the model has already composed the prompt. Two problems with
8 * that: a regex had to carry the whole decision, and because it cannot tell
9 * research from orchestrated work (both talk about `[[wikilinks]]` and source
10 * notes) it needed the `ALLOW_VAULT_AGENT` escape hatch to stay usable.
11 *
12 * `agent.spawn` fires before the subagent resolves and may rewrite `prompt`,
13 * so the better move is to equip the dispatch rather than refuse it. That only
14 * became possible once `vault_search`/`vault_note` were real registered tools
15 * a subagent can call — before v1.58.0 they were registered but every call
16 * failed, so there was nothing to point an agent at and denying was all we had.
17 *
18 * TWO GATES, DIFFERENT JOBS — this is the part worth keeping straight:
19 *
20 * `looksVaultShaped` is a COST gate, not a decision. Its only job is to keep
21 * a model call off the critical path of Agent dispatches that obviously have
22 * nothing to do with the vault. A false positive here costs ~700ms and
23 * nothing else, so it can afford to be loose — unlike the old regex, which
24 * was the decision and therefore had to be precise enough to never block
25 * real work.
