Bugs, Issues, and Feature Requests

How to use

  • First, ensure you have LM Studio set up on your machine and that the server is enabled with the CORS option. Note: If you plan on using this plugin on your phone, you may want to enable the "Serve on local network" setting as well, although you may need to change firewall settings.
  • Once the plugin is installed, visit the plugin's settings page in Obsidian and verify it can connect to LM Studio.

Chat view

  • You can reveal the chat window via the Obsidian command pallete or ribbon menu.
  • To chat with notes, begin typing '[[' to open a file picker or use the file picker button at the bottom of the chatbox.
  • The LLM is also made aware of your current open notes so you can talk about them without referencing them explicitly.

Codeblock prompts

You can also embed a prompt directly in your notes using a fenced codeblock with the lmsc language identifier:

```lmsc
prompt: What's hot on reddit today?
```

Options:

  • prompt (required) - The prompt to send to the LLM
  • hideToolUse (optional, default: false) - When true, hides tool call details from the response
