Key points from the news
- Install Claude Code and Obsidian, then open the same folder in both apps to sync notes.
- Create a CLAUDE.md file to set rules, excluding sensitive data like client names and prices.
- The setup takes about 30 minutes and requires only public information to be safe.
The core of the setup involves creating a single folder, referred to as the "AI's home," and opening it in both applications. This ensures that any notes written by Claude Code are immediately visible in Obsidian. The tutorial emphasizes safety by instructing users to create a "CLAUDE.md" rule sheet that explicitly excludes sensitive data such as client names, product names, and unannounced plans. This file acts as the AI's personality and boundary guide.
The author notes that the process is accessible to anyone who can use Excel or internal company systems, taking approximately 30 minutes to complete. The article includes tips for common pitfalls, such as verifying computer passwords and handling English interface screens by asking the AI for translation. The goal is to establish a foundation for future steps, where the AI will begin writing notes based on user input, effectively creating a digital memory system.
