A VS Code extension that auto-generates project documentation with Claude AI and saves it directly to Obsidian.
Features

- Direct Obsidian save — saves the generated document straight to any folder in your Obsidian Vault
- Sidebar integration — accessible directly from the VS Code Activity Bar
- Streaming output — watch the document being written as it generates
