Connecting Hermes Agent to a local Obsidian vault: read, write, search, link tests
techlatest_net · reddit · 2026-10-23
The author connected Hermes Agent to a local Obsidian vault on a Mac mini to test whether an agent can work with an existing knowledge base instead of answers evaporating into chat history. Four capabilities were tested: reading existing notes, creating new Markdown notes, searching the vault, and linking related notes. Open questions include permissions, accidental edits, and whether generated links add value or noise — the author invites discussion on read-only vs. write access and preventing duplicate/low-quality notes. Full setup and limitations are documented in a linked blog post.
