I use Cursor and Claude Code daily. Both read from a /docs folder in my repo for context. Problem is, I also keep specs and plans in Obsidian. So I end up with two copies of every doc, and they drift apart fast.
The AI reads an outdated spec from /docs, hallucinates based on old info, and I waste 20 minutes figuring out why. Or I update something in Obsidian and forget to copy it back. Classic.
What this plugin does
EVC Local Sync connects your AI project folders to Obsidian. You set up a mapping between a local path (like /Users/me/project/docs) and a vault folder. The plugin watches both sides and syncs changes bidirectionally.
It works offline, everything stays local, nothing leaves your machine.
Setting up a mapping takes about 30 seconds. Point it at your project, pick a vault folder, done.
Before anything syncs, you get a preview. Each file shows which direction it will sync and why (newer timestamp wins by default).
Multiple projects work fine. Here I have two projects mapped and can sync them all at once or one at a time. Dry run lets you check without committing.
Same ROADMAP.md, both sides. Obsidian renders it nicely, Cursor has the raw markdown. Edit in either place.

- Works with any AI coding tool that reads from local
/docs- Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, whatever you use
If you try it, let me know how it goes. Happy to hear feedback or feature requests on GitHub
