dSebastien · x · 2026-09-25
dSebastien released Obsidian Starter Kit v4, an "AI-Native" release that turns an Obsidian vault into a full AI workspace, built on the philosophy that AI augments thinking rather than replacing it.
Key additions:
- OSK plugin defines note types, properties, tags, folders and templates as structured data, making the vault a strongly typed knowledge base; ships with osk-cli and an MCP server so Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other AI tools can talk to your vault directly
- 375 specialized AI skills spanning research, writing, thinking, tasks, health, publishing and vault maintenance
- Dozens of AI agents with persistent identity and memory (Editor, Researcher, Skeptic, Coach, Ghostwriter, etc.)
- Combines PARA, Zettelkasten, Johnny Decimal and GTD with full templates and automation; lifetime updates, rated 4.9/5 by 1,000+ users
He also shipped two companion plugin features addressing the shared root cause of crowded boards and unrealistic plans: never stopping to decide.
