Claude + Obsidian + Loop Engineering: Building a Self-Running Vault
anirbanbandyo · x · 2026-08-12
Explores how to use Claude + Obsidian + Loop Engineering to build a self-maintaining knowledge base system.
The core design concept is treating the Obsidian Vault as the state of the loop, rather than relying on a traditional chat window. Everything Claude knows is stored in .md files.
The workflow is broken down into the following steps:
- Capture: A thought lands in the inbox
- Context: Claude pulls links, tags, and neighboring notes
- Draft: Edits happen inside a git worktree to ensure vault safety
- Review: A critic agent checks the diff
- Commit: Appended to the vault without overwriting existing content
The author notes that note frontmatter fields (like supports, contradicts, supersedes) should be treated as graph edges rather than simple metadata, serving as the write API for the notes.
