This is a note from my public notes. View the canonical version: 2026-05-15 Obsidian Starter Kit v4 Is Live.

Hey everyone!

Just shipped Obsidian Starter Kit v4. This is the AI-native release; months in the making.

What's New

• ~375 specialized AI skills (research, writing, thinking, vault management, health, identity, rituals, and a lot more)
• Dozens of agents with persistent memory (Coach, Researcher, Editor, Ghostwriter, Wiki Curator, and many more)
• LLM Wikis: AI-maintained knowledge bases that live inside your vault
• A brand-new OSK plugin with a CLI (osk-cli) and an MCP server, so any AI tool can talk to your vault directly
• An identity layer that helps AI really understand who you are
• 15+ new tutorials covering AI sessions, the identity layer, voice profile, LLM Wikis, reviews, and building your own agents and skills

The core idea: AI augments thinking; it does NOT replace it. Your vault stays yours; AI does the plumbing so you can do the deep thinking.

Two Ways to Get In

1. Buy OSK directly: Essentials €129.99, Premium €198.99
2. Or join Knowii (Knowledge Builder / Master); OSK is included as a bonus

⏰ Price goes up in 48 hours. Lock in v4 today; future updates are free, forever.
