Install Agent HQ inside an Obsidian vault to give an AI agent structured context
Run daily check-ins and drift reviews against your goals and life areas
Convert a photo of a notebook page into a linked Obsidian writing entry
Set approval boundaries for parts of life you want on autopilot
Glide is content only, so you must bring your own agent runtime such as OpenAI Codex or Claude Code to actually read the files and act.
Glide for Obsidian is a set of Markdown files and instructions that you install inside your Obsidian vault. Obsidian is a popular note-taking app that stores notes as plain text files on your computer. The README describes Glide as a self-evolving personal coach and pilot that gives an AI agent a structured home inside your vault for your goals, areas of life, decisions, open questions, research, and recurring check-ins. Glide does not run any software on its own. It is content, not code. The author explains that an external agent runtime such as OpenAI Codex or Anthropic Claude Code is what actually reads the files and takes actions. Glide just provides good defaults: a folder called Agent HQ inside your vault, a list of skills and checklists with names prefixed by glide-, starter automations for things like daily check-ins and drift review, and adapter notes for different agent harnesses. The author built it because they wanted help managing context for the parts of life they care about, family, content, projects, while putting other parts like finance and admin on more of an autopilot with clear approval boundaries. A small example given is taking a messy Obsidian note, including a photo of a notebook, and asking the agent to turn it into a draft writing entry linked to existing notes. The README is clear about privacy: Glide itself does not collect telemetry, run servers, or send vault data anywhere. Whatever the connected AI service does is up to the user. Installation is described as a conservative agent-led flow that inspects the vault, asks which harness and which default areas to include, and only copies files after explicit confirmation.
