Claudian Installer

Install Claudian – an Obsidian plugin that embeds Claude Code as an AI collaborator in your vault, giving it full agentic capabilities: file read/write, search, bash commands, and multi-step workflows.

Installation Workflow

Step 1: Confirm Vault Path

Ask the user to confirm the Obsidian vault path. The default is the current working directory:

Default: <current working directory>

If the user specifies a different path, use that instead.

Step 2: Create Plugin Directory

Create the claudian plugin folder in the vault’s plugins directory:

mkdir -p /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/claudian

Step 3: Copy Plugin Files

Copy the plugin files from this skill’s assets to the plugin directory:

cp <skill-path>/assets/main.js /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/claudian/
cp <skill-path>/assets/manifest.json /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/claudian/
cp <skill-path>/assets/styles.css /path/to/vault/.obsidian/plugins/claudian/

Step 4: Enable the Plugin

Remind the user to enable the plugin in Obsidian:

1. Open Obsidian
2. Go to Settings → Community plugins
3. Find “Claudian” in the list
4. Click to enable it
