Every AI plugin for Obsidian embeds a terminal in a sidebar. But you already have a terminal you like — Ghostty, Kitty, Warp, whatever. Claude Code works great there. Why switch?
The only thing missing — Claude Code doesn’t know what you have open or selected in Obsidian.
Claude Code IDE plugin fixes exactly that. Single main.js, zero dependencies. Same WebSocket protocol VS Code and Neovim extensions use.
- Auto-discovery — install, enable,
/idein Claude Code, done - Selection sharing — select text in Obsidian, Claude Code sees it as context
- “Send to Claude” — pass selected text directly
- Your terminal stays your terminal
No embedded terminal. No Python. No Agent SDK. No chat sidebar.
