GotSaeng OS — local-first Markdown context reports for Obsidian

Hi everyone,

I built GotSaeng OS, an open-source Obsidian plugin and CLI for compiling a local Markdown vault into inspectable context reports.

It is aimed at vaults that contain project notes, decisions, tasks, risks, assumptions, and questions, but where preparing a clear context package for review or an AI-assisted workflow is still manual.

GotSaeng OS scans the current local vault and generates Markdown and JSON reports for:

  • project context and memory snapshots

  • decisions, actions, risks, questions, and insights

  • source paths, provenance, and confidence signals

  • stale-context and contradiction-candidate review queues

  • differences between successive compiles

A few intentional boundaries:

  • It runs locally on a user-selected vault.

  • It has no cloud sync, telemetry, hidden network calls, or LLM API calls.

  • It does not include semantic search, RAG, chat, or automatic context injection.

  • If users provide an exported report to an AI tool, that handoff is explicit and user-controlled.

  • Confidence and contradiction outputs are review signals, not truth verification.

The plugin is desktop-only and currently available through Community Plugins.

I would especially welcome feedback on:

  1. Which generated reports would actually be useful in your vault workflow?

  2. Where should a local-first tool draw the line between helpful extraction and overly opinionated automation?

I maintain GotSaeng OS.
