Obsidian Emerge Idea Surfacer

What This Does

The creator wires Obsidian to Claude Code through the Obsidian CLI so Claude can walk the linked graph of MD files. He builds a two-command layer: a today command that pulls calendar, tasks, and recent notes into a one-day plan, and an emerge command that surfaces recurring themes across the vault the user has not consciously named.

What You Get

• Obsidian CLI connection to Claude Code
• today command pulling calendar, tasks, recent notes
• emerge command surfacing recurring unnamed themes
• linked graph traversal
• one-day prioritized plan output

Customize

• vault_path: where the Obsidian vault lives
• today_sources: which apps to include (calendar, tasks, drive)
• emerge_lookback: months of notes to scan
• theme_threshold: how often a topic must repeat
• output_format: plain text or MD

Sample Output

Emerge returns three recurring themes from the past six months of notes that were mentioned dozens of times but never turned into a project.

Target Audience

Knowledge workers already keeping Obsidian vaults
