dotfiles/.claude/commands/obsidian-save.md

Save current conversation context to an Obsidian note under the Claude/ directory.

What to save

Capture all of the following that are relevant to the current conversation:

• Conversation summary: What the user is trying to accomplish and why
• Project context: Relevant architecture, design decisions, or constraints discovered
• Task state: What has been completed, what is in progress, what is blocked or pending
• Key decisions: Any choices made and the reasoning behind them
• Open questions: Unresolved questions or things to revisit
• Next steps: Concrete actions that should follow from this session

File location

Derive the project name from the current working directory (use the repo or app folder name). Save to:

Claude/<project-name>/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<short-slug>.md

Use today's date and a short 2-4 word slug describing the session topic (e.g. 2026-04-29-ruth-plugin-setup.md).

If $ARGUMENTS is provided, use it as the slug instead of generating one.
