Summary
A free, local-first markdown note-taking app that renders [[wikilinks]] as a navigable graph. Used as the visual front-end for an LLM wiki vault.
Role in LLM Wiki
Obsidian is optional — the wiki is just markdown files and works without it. But Obsidian adds:
- Graph view — visualizes all pages as nodes and links as edges; lets you see hubs and relationships in real time as Claude ingests content
- Backlink navigation — click
[[wikilinks]]to jump between pages - Vault management — open the vault folder directly in Obsidian
Setup for LLM Wiki
- Download from obsidian.md (free)
- Create a new vault pointing to your
vault/directory - Open Claude Code in the same directory
- Use graph view to watch pages appear as Claude ingests
Key Note
“You literally just have a vault up top… you’ve got a raw folder where you put all the stuff. And then you’ve got a wiki folder.” — yt-llm-wiki-knowledge-system
The markdown files are the source of truth — Obsidian is just a viewer.
