Real-World Workflows — Claude + Obsidian

Claude Code works exceptionally well with markdown-based knowledge systems like Obsidian. This pattern extends beyond engineering into product management, documentation, and knowledge work.

The Pattern

1. Knowledge lives in .md files — PRDs, specs, meeting notes, decision logs stored in an Obsidian vault
2. Claude Code operates on the vault — Point Claude Code at your Obsidian folder to query, summarize, update, and cross-reference documents
3. Bidirectional workflow — Edit in Obsidian for thinking, delegate to Claude Code for synthesis and automation

Use Cases

• Summarize a week's meeting notes into action items
• Cross-reference PRDs against technical specs for consistency
• Generate status reports from scattered notes
• Draft RFC documents from rough bullet points
