4 use cases

  • Start a nightly journal with Compass daily questions

    Answer ten daily questions and write one journal line each night in an Obsidian vault.

    View prompt
    In the Compass vault at <vault path>, read AGENTS.md and Meta/Compass Config.md, then list the daily question properties (dq_*) and the habit properties (habit_*). Expected output: a short list of the questions and habits, with the folder where today's Daily note is stored. Verify that the lists match the questions in Meta/Compass Config.md.

  • Run a quarterly personal retreat in your vault

    Use the Personal Retreat template to review the quarter and set the next one.

    View prompt
    In the Compass vault at <vault path>, read 02 Retreats and the wheel_* properties in Meta/Compass Config.md, then compare the two most recent YYYY-QN Personal Retreat notes. Expected output: a table of wheel areas with their scores for each quarter and the change between them. Verify that you did not edit any retreat text, since AGENTS.md says not to rewrite journal or planning text.

  • Triage your task list with an agent, approving each edit

    Have a local agent sort Tasks.md while you approve every diff in Obsidian.

    View prompt
    In the Compass vault at <vault path>, read AGENTS.md and 08 Tasks/Tasks.md, then group the open tasks by project or person. Expected output: a proposed list of groups and moves, with no file changed yet. Verify that every proposed edit is shown as a diff and that no note outside 08 Tasks, 04 Projects, and 05 People was touched.

  • Connect Claude Code to your Obsidian vault over MCP

    Point Claude Code at Local REST API so it can read, search, and patch notes.

    View prompt
    Using the Obsidian MCP server at http://127.0.0.1:27123/mcp for the Compass vault at <vault path>, list the available tools and search for notes tagged example. Expected output: the tool names and a count of matching notes. Verify that no note was written or patched during the check.
