Claudesidian Repository Management

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This CLAUDE.md is for maintaining the claudesidian repository itself.

If you're a user setting up your own Obsidian vault:

Run claude run init-bootstrap to create your personalized CLAUDE.md
That command will overwrite this file with your custom configuration
This file is only for contributors working on the claudesidian project

Testing Changes

# Clone fresh copy
git clone https://github.com/heyitsnoah/claudesidian.git test-claudesidian
cd test-claudesidian
pnpm install
claude run init-bootstrap  # Test the setup flow

Important Files

CLAUDE-BOOTSTRAP.md - Template that init-bootstrap uses
package.json - Version and dependencies
.github/release.yml - GitHub release categorization

Maintenance Tasks

Regular Updates

Review and update dependencies
Test init-bootstrap flow
Update documentation for clarity
Check for broken scripts

User Support

Issues at: https://github.com/heyitsnoah/claudesidian/issues
Keep README clear and comprehensive
Ensure init-bootstrap handles edge cases

Note for Contributors

Remember that users will run init-bootstrap which:

Reads CLAUDE-BOOTSTRAP.md as template
Asks personalization questions
Overwrites this CLAUDE.md with user's configuration
Sets up their personal Obsidian vault

This separation ensures the repository maintenance instructions (this file) don't interfere with user's personal vault configuration.
