Obsidian Vault Init

elliotjlt/obsidian-vault-init

| Initialises an Obsidian vault for Claude Code workflows. Sets up folder structure, frontmatter conventions, templates, starter .base views, and a CLAUDE.md that describes the vault so future sessions understand it instantly. Activates on "set up obsidian", "init vault", "new vault", or first contact with an Obsidian project that has no CLAUDE.md.
