Install in Cowork

Cowork is the desktop app for Claude. It does not support the /plugin slash command, so plugins install through its UI.

  1. Open Cowork
  2. Open Customize from the menu
  3. Go to Personal plugins
  4. Click Browse plugins
  5. Add the marketplace by pasting giovi321/obsidian-wiki as the source
  6. Install the obsidian-wiki plugin from the listing under Personal

The plugin files are cloned to your local Cowork plugin folder (typically under ~/.claude/plugins/ or the platform-specific equivalent Cowork shows). The plugin lives on your computer; no part of it runs on a remote server.

To install from a local clone instead of the marketplace:

Terminal window
git clone git@github.com:giovi321/obsidian-wiki.git ~/.claude/plugins/obsidian-wiki

Then restart Cowork; the plugin appears in the list.

Inside a Cowork chat, the slash commands work the same as in the CLI. Type /setup-wiki and the interview begins. The AskUserQuestion prompts the setup command uses render as clickable options in Cowork’s chat panel, which is easier than typing answers by hand.

To update the plugin in Cowork, use the same plugin manager UI; there is no /plugin update command there. After an update, run /upgrade from a chat to refresh CLAUDE.md and the shared docs in each wiki.
