Open in Claude Code

An Obsidian plugin that launches Claude Code in the directory of the current note or at the vault root.

Features

• Ribbon icon — Click the Claude icon in the left sidebar to open Claude Code in the active note's directory.
• Command palette — Two commands available:
  • Open current directory in Claude Code — Opens the parent directory of the active note.
  • Open vault root in Claude Code — Opens the vault root directory.
• Auto-sync plugins — Before each launch, the plugin ensures that the target directory inherits all enabledPlugins from the vault root's .claude/settings.json. If the directory doesn't have its own .claude/settings.json, one is created automatically.

Requirements

• macOS (uses AppleScript to launch Terminal)
• Claude Code CLI installed and available in your PATH
