Select a term or passage and Sage uses the Anthropic API to generate a linked concept note in your vault. Useful for explaining technical research papers, or for going down a learning rabbit hole.
- Obsidian 1.11.4 or later
- An Anthropic API key
- A markdown note in your vault
Open Settings → Sage and paste your Anthropic API key.
Note: When you explain a selection, Sage sends the selected text and up to 2000 characters (configurable) of surrounding context to the Anthropic API.
Caution: Your API key is kept in Obsidian's secret storage, which is currently not encrypted at rest: other programs on your computer could read it.
- Select a word, phrase, or passage in a note.
- Run Sage: Explain selection from the command palette, or right-click the selection and choose Explain selection.
- Sage writes a concept note to your concepts folder and links your selection to it.
If a concept note with the same title already exists, Sage links to it instead of creating a duplicate.
- Concepts folder: where concept notes are created (vault root if blank).
- Selection style: how the original selection looks after linking (plain, highlighted, or a wikilink).
- Concept alias: display the link as "🌿" or the concept's title.
- Context length: total characters around the selection sent to the model as context.
- Model: which Anthropic model to use.
- Max tokens: upper bound on the response length.
- API key: your Anthropic API key, stored in Obsidian's secret storage.
