Tandem

Tandem is a contextual AI companion for Obsidian. It helps you discuss, improve and organize Markdown notes without applying changes automatically.

Features

  • Contextual chat from the right sidebar
  • /tandem actions and custom actions
  • Reviewable note edits and vault organization plans
  • Background suggestions after a pause in editing
  • Per-change previews, confidence and priority
  • Apply, ignore or postpone suggestions
  • English by default, French when Obsidian is French
  • Configurable local AI CLI

Installation

Copy this repository into .obsidian/plugins/codex-sidebar, then enable Tandem in Obsidian's community plugins settings. The technical plugin id remains unchanged to preserve existing installations.

The default CLI command is codex on macOS/Linux and codex.cmd on Windows. It can be changed in Tandem's settings.

Development

The plugin is intentionally dependency-free. Validate changes with:

node --check main.js

The version is changed only when a release is published.

For plugin developers

Search results and similarity scores are powered by semantic analysis of your plugin's README. If your plugin isn't appearing for searches you'd expect, try updating your README to clearly describe your plugin's purpose, features, and use cases.
