This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

Work with a local Obsidian vault from DeepSeek Harness.

The 📓 button in the sidebar opens a home page for that vault. From there you can send the agent off to read a note, write today’s daily, or chase a broken wikilink. Writes ask you first. Anything this plugin changes can be rolled back. Obsidian itself does not need to be running.

What you need

  • dsh web installed and working
  • Built against dsh 0.1.0-rc.6
  • A normal Obsidian vault folder on disk

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:ShengenWu/dsh-obsidian-channel

Restart dsh web and open http://127.0.0.1:3080.

For a local checkout: dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/this/repo.

First run

1. Click 📓 Obsidian in the left sidebar. 2. If no vault is bound yet, paste the absolute path (/Users/you/Notes or D:\Notes) and bind it. 3. You get a home page. Default widgets are Continue (recent notes) and Vault changes (journal + rollback). Turn on Today / Search / Structure / Inbox / Links in Settings → Obsidian. 4. Click a note or a shortcut like “write today’s daily”. dsh opens a new session on that vault and drops text into the composer. It does not send for you.

The path is remembered. Later clicks only open the home page; they do not create another workspace.

Day to day

Talk from the home page. Click a note, a broken link, or type at the bottom. Each click starts a fresh vault session so you are not dumped into last week’s thread.

Daily notes follow Obsidian. The home page and the agent read .obsidian/daily-notes.json first. If your vault uses Daily + MM-DD-YYYY, this plugin uses that path and will not invent another date order. Override it under Settings → Obsidian if you really want to.

Writes wait for you. Default is ask-every-time. You can switch to “ask once per task” or “never ask” (please don’t).

Undo lives in Settings. Settings → Obsidian has the change history: before / after, one-click rollback. A rollback is itself a journaled change, so you can undo the undo.

Settings you actually care about:

  • vault path
  • whether writes need approval
  • daily-note folder and date format (optional; empty means “use Obsidian’s own setting”)
  • extra directories the agent must not touch
  • how long to keep the journal (30 days by default)

![Settings](docs/setting.png)

Vault sessions default to Obsidian mode: it does not change the mode on other workspaces. The persona is “help you tend a knowledge base”, not “write code”.

Reads can stay on the built-in read / grep / glob tools. Creates, replacements, appends, and deletes should go through the obsidian_* tools so they land in the journal. Native write / edit into this vault is blocked.

What’s new in 0.1.1-rc.1

Pre-release after 0.1.0. Pin it with dsh plugin --profile web add github:ShengenWu/dsh-obsidian-channel#v0.1.1-rc.1.

  • Native folder pickers for the vault and the daily-note folder
  • Home tiles in three sizes (S / M / L), drag to arrange, size in the ⋯ menu
  • Click a note to edit it in a full overlay (source + preview)
  • Today’s note is the note: click to open or create, Agent jumps to the vault workspace
  • Recent-note titles use H1, then YAML title, then the filename
  • Opening Obsidian no longer stays selected together with SSH / the task board

Still not in this cut: templates, weekly recap, [[ completion.

What’s in 0.1.0

  • [x] Sidebar entry and vault home (today / recent / changes / broken links / shortcuts)
  • [x] Approved create, update, append, delete, and batch edits
  • [x] Change journal and one-click rollback
  • [x] Settings page (bind the vault, approval policy, daily habit)
  • [x] Daily-note path taken from Obsidian’s own config
  • [x] Obsidian mode as the default for vault sessions; vault guidance only when the session is actually in the vault
  • [x] Native write / edit into the vault is rejected
  • [x] Composable homepage (shell + toggled widgets; default is continue + changes)
  • [x] Search, list, structure, backlinks, and journaled move (rewrites [[wikilinks]])
  • [x] Literal oldString / newString update
  • [x] Detect local vaults from Obsidian’s app config
  • [x] Runtime skill obsidian-vault (available outside vault sessions)
  • [ ] Daily / template cards and weekly recap
  • [ ] [[ completion in the composer — pick notes by title while typing a wikilink

Known gap: bash can still rewrite files and skip the journal. Be careful in a vault session.
