← Overview
Obsitex has a companion for Claude Code: a plugin that builds your project folder for you and then stays with you while you write.
<aside> 💡
It is optional. Everything in this guide works without it — the plugin saves you the setup and answers questions while writing. It is also a different thing from Flexplorer, which is a plugin inside Obsidian and orders your notes.

You need Claude Code. Then send one message in its chat:
Install the Obsitex plugin for Claude Code from this repository: <https://github.com/gregyelapa/obsitex-plugin>
Claude asks for permission to run the install. Say yes. That is all.
Prefer the terminal? Two commands, one after the other:
claude plugin marketplace add gregyelapa/obsitex-plugin
claude plugin install obsitex@obsitex
<aside> ⚠️
Write the command names in full. They read plugin : command, and both are called obsitex, so /obsitex:obsitex-init looks doubled. It is not a typo, and a shortened obsitex:init does not exist.

| Command | What it does | When |
|---|---|---|
/obsitex:obsitex-init |
Builds a ready-to-convert project folder | Once, at the start |
/obsitex:obsitex-assistant |
Answers how to write something so the converter handles it, and writes it with you | Any time while writing |
/obsitex:obsitex-initSend it in the folder where your project should live. A short interview follows — your document type, how you want the notes split and ordered — and out comes:
.obsidian folder with the Flexplorer plugin pre-installed and its order pre-filled;dds block and preamble for your structure.Open the result in Obsidian, write under the # headings, and convert as usual (Your first document). The order is already set; adjust it any time with Flexplorer or number prefixes (Document order).
