Simple exporter for LLM

This plugin is 100% generated using AI (Gemini CLI)!

A lightweight Obsidian plugin designed to streamline the process of providing context to Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Quickly export your notes and canvas files in a structured format optimized for LLM comprehension.

Features

• Folder Export: Right-click any folder to copy all its Markdown (.md) and Canvas (.canvas) files to your clipboard.
• Tag Export: Right-click any tag in the Tag Pane or Notebook Navigator to export all associated notes. Supports nested tags and maintains tag hierarchy in the exported tree.
• Context Builder: A dedicated UI to hand-pick specific files, folders, and tags.
  • Granular Control: Remove individual notes or sub-branches directly from the tag or folder tree.
  • Hybrid Search: Search for both notes and tags to add to your context selection.
• Notebook Navigator Integration: Fully integrated with the Notebook Navigator plugin context menus.
• Structured Formats: Choose between XML, JSON, or a fully Custom Template to suit different LLM requirements.
• Visual File Tree: Automatically includes directory and tag structures to help the LLM understand your project's organization. If both tags and folders are selected, both structures are included.
• Deduplication: Automatically ensures each note is exported only once, even if it appears in multiple selected tags.
• Multi-File Selection: Select multiple files in the file explorer and export them all at once.
• Tag Filtering: Define tags (including nested tags like #private/sensitive) in settings to automatically exclude specific notes from all exports and the Context Builder.
