I’ve been running Paperclip alongside my Obsidian vault and got tired of switching between the two, so I built a plugin that brings the full issue tracker into the Obsidian sidebar.
What it does:
• Issue browser — list view with collapsible groups (by status, project, or assignee) and a kanban board with drag-and-drop
• Issue details — edit title, status, priority, assignee, and project inline. Full activity thread with comments and agent avatars
• Create issues — with optional vault context (attaches the current file path to the description)
• Live monitoring — auto-refresh polling, pulsing indicators when agents are actively running, and notifications when a run completes
• Comments & mentions — post comments and tag agents directly from the issue view
• AI actions (optional) — highlight text → right-click → GPT-4o-mini drafts an issue with suggested title, description, priority, agent, and project. Also has “Work on this document” and “Review this document” commands
Why it’s useful:
If you’re using Obsidian for planning, notes, or documentation alongside Paperclip, this lets you create and manage agent tasks right where you’re already working. See a problem in your notes? Highlight it, create an issue, assign an agent — all without leaving the editor.
Vault file paths in issue descriptions and comments are clickable links that open the note directly.
