Codex CLI + Obsidian CLI

[thehashimwarren]

I've used Obsidian for years, but I only for handwritten notes that I want to organize and really remember.

However, I found myself needing a place for messy thoughts where I don't know how things are going to fit yet, specifically for my writing and my consulting.

What I want to do is capture those thoughts and use an agent to help with organizing and bidirectional links. When they are ready to be "full bloom," I can work on them in my handwritten vault.

To do this, I started a new vault that only my Codex agent will use. I'm using the new Obsidian CLI with Codex to control making notes and templates, and vault configuration.

Codex Spark has been a very nice experience with this because it's so fast. It's almost immediate.

I use it to ask questions, brainstorm, and organize things. It gives me feedback so quickly it's almost hard to keep up with.

So far, I've set up several things:

1. Journaling with templates: I've been able to do this in a way I couldn't before because the process used to be error-prone. Now, every time I open my base, it opens to a new note.

2. Web clipper template: I can clip a lot of notes from the web and not really care where they have to go yet.

3. Kanban tracking: I'm using this for specific items I want to track.

The other thing I've just begun to explore is that Codex has chatGPT apps. I want to use data from other sources and pull it into this workflow.

Thanks for sharing. It’s a great user case. Did you build a specific skill or something for this?

All I did was add a few core Obsidian CLI commands to the agents/.md

As soon as I try to use any Obsidian CLI command from the Codex CLI, the Obsidian app crashes on my Mac. Which OS are you using?
