Coding Vault

An Obsidian plugin that turns your vault into a searchable code snippet database, with optional AI-powered metadata generation via LM Studio.

Features

• Store Selection as Snippet — select any code in the editor, run the command, and it's saved as a structured note with YAML frontmatter (title, language, tags, purpose, functions).
• Store Current File as Snippet — store the entire open file in one command.
• Query Snippets — fuzzy-search your entire snippet database by title, language, or purpose.
• Fast mode (default) — derives title and tags from code structure instantly, no LLM required.
• LLM mode — calls your local LM Studio manager model to generate rich metadata automatically.
• Compatible with obsidian-coding-pipeline — shares the same frontmatter schema.
