Writing or tweaking plugins is great, but it's not a paradigm shift (and risks a lot more toil because now you have to be your own PM or deal with patches/merges, on top of being a reference librarian and copyeditor etc). I feel like if you have a quasi-superintelligence in a box which can run your PKM for you, and you were designing from the ground up with this in mind, that Claude Code is only going to et much better & cheaper, you would not be settling for 'write or modify an Obsidian plugin'. You would get something much different. But 'write a plugin' is basically at 'horseless carriage' level for me.

What I have in mind is something far more radical. There's an idea I am calling 'log-only writing' where you stop editing or rearranging your notes at all, and you switch to pure note taking and stream of conscious braindumping, and you simply have the LLM 'compile' your entire history down into whatever specific artifact you need on demand - whether that's a web of flashcards or a blog post or a long essay or whatever. See https://gwern.net/blog/2024/rss + https://gwern.net/nenex , combined with the LLM reasoning and brainstorming 'offline' using the prompts illustrated by my poems.

That's fair, I guess when I hear "radical overhaul" when discussing PKMs I immediately start worrying about the overload and burnout that doomed my first attempts at Obsidian (see my sibling comment), whereas right now I have a system that works very well for me, especially now that I can just ask Claude to scan the whole directory if I want to ask it questions. But if you do come up with some new blue-sky vision for PKMs, I'd love to at least take a look.
