Active Note for Obsidian

Writes the path of the active note and any selected text to a JSON pointer file, enabling seamless integration with external tools like Claude Code or Gemini CLI.

Chinese summary

将当前活动笔记的路径和选中内容写入JSON指针文件,以便与外部工具(如Claude Code、Gemini CLI等)无缝集成。

Key Use Cases

  • Feeding current note context to AI coding assistants like Claude Code
  • Automating workflows that depend on the active note and selection
  • Building custom integrations that read the pointer file for real-time updates

Pros

  • Enables real-time external access to active note data
  • Simple JSON format for easy parsing
  • Supports both note path and text selection

Limitations

  • Requires external tools to actually use the pointer file
  • May pose security risks if pointer file is exposed
  • Limited to basic note path/selection; no content context
