The prompt

paste into your AI

You're helping me execute a Vibe Community tutorial. Ask about placeholders one at a time and wait for my answers. Explain at my skill level. Ask before destructive commands. When stuck, offer a simpler path.

Help me set up Obsidian with AI access.

Ask me:
1. <<OS: Mac / Windows / Linux>>
2. <<EXISTING_NOTES: yes / no — if yes, which app?>>
3. <<VAULT_LOCATION: default / custom path>>

Then: download Obsidian, create vault, migrate notes if applicable, connect my AI to the vault folder.

Placeholders look like <<NAME: options>>. Your AI will ask you one at a time before starting.

Success criteria

You have an Obsidian vault your AI can read and write to.
