Obsidian Plug-in

Hi Sudowrite team! I’d love to suggest a feature that could make Sudowrite vastly more usable for longform writers working in Obsidian, where our notes and drafts are already structured, canonical, and local-first.

💡 Problem

Sudowrite is amazing for generative narrative tooling—but using it alongside Obsidian means constant copy/paste friction. Writers like me keep Obsidian as our canonical source of truth, and switching back and forth makes adoption clunky and error-prone.

I don’t mind Sudowrite having access to my content—I just want to keep writing where I live.

🔧 Solution: Lightweight Obsidian Plugin

Build a minimal plugin that adds Sudowrite integration via:

✅ Context-aware Ingestion via Frontmatter

Let users opt-in by tagging files like this:

---
sudowrite: world
label: "Tatooine Moisture Farms"
tags: [world, farming]
---

---
sudowrite: story
scene: 4.2
character_focus: ["Luke Skywalker", "Ben Kenobi"]
priority: high
---

This could be paired with keyboard shortcuts or an Obsidian ribbon UI to send selected text or entire files to Sudowrite on demand.

✨ Optional Bonus Features

• File-level “sync” toggle (manual push/pull to avoid unexpected overwrites)

• Highlight text and run inline actions (rewrite, tone shift, etc.)

• Markdown-friendly output returned directly into the vault

🔒 Privacy + Alignment

This design keeps authors in control:

• No background scraping or vault-wide scanning.

• No disruption to Obsidian’s local-first architecture.

• Explicit authorial intent via frontmatter = clean integration point.

🎯 Why It Matters

There’s a growing base of longform writers who:

• Draft and manage stories entirely in Obsidian

• Want to use AI tools without abandoning their infrastructure

• Are not worried about data access, but do care deeply about document sovereignty

This plugin would be a huge quality-of-life improvement, and a low-friction way to expand Sudowrite’s reach into serious, structured creative workflows.

Happy to help test or prototype. Thanks for the amazing tool, and for listening!
