Vault-first toolkit for Claude Code — curated plugins over an Obsidian-compatible knowledge vault, governed by an explicit contract, gated by evals, continuously delivered.

2 things to look at
- 10 days oldThe repository was created 10 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Handoff
Portable, tool-agnostic session continuity. A handoff is plain markdown written to
_handoff/ inside the current repo (travels with the code to any machine or tool),
with a one-line pointer appended to the vault's discovery index — best-effort, silently
skipped when no vault is resolvable (see ../../README.md).
The deterministic mechanics live in ../../scripts/handoff.py. Your job is the
narrative — the part only conversation context can produce. Write forward: for
what the next window needs to act, not a log of finished work.
Quick start
Save a handoff of what we're doing so I can continue later
- Pick a stream tag — short kebab-case name for this line of work (e.g.
auth-fix,html-export). Reuse the same tag across sessions on the same effort so they chain (seq 1 → 2 → 3). If the user passed one via$ARGUMENTS, use it. - Write the narrative to
_handoff/.draft.mdusing the section template in references/template.md. Fill every section from the conversation. The two highest-value sections are Tried & Ruled Out (so the next session never re-explores dead ends) and Next Step (the exact action to take, with file:line pointers). Keep it tight — decisions and direction, not narration. - Assemble & write by running the script (it adds frontmatter, git state, the chain
link, and the vault index line):
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/handoff.py" save \ --stream <tag> --title "<one-line title>" \ --body-file _handoff/.draft.md - Report the saved path and vault-index line back to the user, and surface the
script's own
Suggested:line — it already reads the profile'sdefault_visibility(commitfor team/cross-machine continuity,gitignorefor private single-machine use) so you don't have to guess.
