+# Obsidian community plugin
+
+## Project overview
+
+- Target: Obsidian Community Plugin (TypeScript → bundled JavaScript).
+- Entry point: `main.ts` compiled to `main.js` and loaded by Obsidian.
+- Required release artifacts: `main.js`, `manifest.json`, and optional `styles.css`.
+
+## Environment & tooling
+
+- Node.js: use current LTS (Node 18+ recommended).
+- **Package manager: npm** (required for this sample - `package.json` defines npm scripts and dependencies).
+- **Bundler: esbuild** (required for this sample - `esbuild.config.mjs` and build scripts depend on it). Alternative bundlers like Rollup or webpack are acceptable for other projects if they bundle all external dependencies into `main.js`.
+- Types: `obsidian` type definitions.
+
+**Note**: This sample project has specific technical dependencies on npm and esbuild. If you're creating a plugin from scratch, you can choose different tools, but you'll need to replace the build configuration accordingly.
+
+### Install
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### Dev (watch)
+
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
+
+### Production build
+
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
+
+## Linting
+
+- To use eslint install eslint from terminal: `npm install -g eslint`
+- To use eslint to analyze this project use this command: `eslint main.ts`
+- eslint will then create a report with suggestions for code improvement by file and line number.
+- If your source code is in a folder, such as `src`, you can use eslint with this command to analyze all files in that folder: `eslint ./src/`
+
+## File & folder conventions
+
+- **Organize code into multiple files**: Split functionality across separate modules rather than putting everything in `main.ts`.
+- Source lives in `src/`. Keep `main.ts` small and focused on plugin lifecycle (loading, unloading, registering commands).
+- **Example file structure**:
+  ```
+  src/
+    main.ts           # Plugin entry point, lifecycle management
+    settings.ts       # Settings interface and defaults
+    commands/         # Command implementations
+      command1.ts
+      command2.ts
+    ui/              # UI components, modals, views
+      modal.ts
+      view.ts
+    utils/           # Utility functions, helpers
+      helpers.ts
+      constants.ts
+    types.ts         # TypeScript interfaces and types
+  ```
+- **Do not commit build artifacts**: Never commit `node_modules/`, `main.js`, or other generated files to version control.
+- Keep the plugin small. Avoid large dependencies. Prefer browser-compatible packages.
+- Generated output should be placed at the plugin root or `dist/` depending on your build setup. Release artifacts must end up at the top level of the plugin folder in the vault (`main.js`, `manifest.json`, `styles.css`).
+
+## Manifest rules (`manifest.json`)
+
+- Must include (non-exhaustive):  
+  - `id` (plugin ID; for local dev it should match the folder name)  
+  - `name`  
+  - `version` (Semantic Versioning `x.y.z`)  
+  - `minAppVersion`  
+  - `description`  
+  - `isDesktopOnly` (boolean)  
+  - Optional: `author`, `authorUrl`, `fundingUrl` (string or map)
+- Never change `id` after release. Treat it as stable API.
+- Keep `minAppVersion` accurate when using newer APIs.
+- Canonical requirements are coded here: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-releases/blob/master/.github/workflows/validate-plugin-entry.yml
+
+## Testing
+
+- Manual install for testing: copy `main.js`, `manifest.json`, `styles.css` (if any) to:
+  ```
+  <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/<plugin-id>/
+  ```
+- Reload Obsidian and enable the plugin in **Settings → Community plugins**.
+
+## Commands & settings
+
+- Any user-facing commands should be added via `this.addCommand(...)`.
+- If the plugin has configuration, provide a settings tab and sensible defaults.
+- Persist settings using `this.loadData()` / `this.saveData()`.
+- Use stable command IDs; avoid renaming once released.
+
+## Versioning & releases
+
+- Bump `version` in `manifest.json` (SemVer) and update `versions.json` to map plugin version → minimum app version.
+- Create a GitHub release whose tag exactly matches `manifest.json`'s `version`. Do not use a leading `v`.
+- Attach `manifest.json`, `main.js`, and `styles.css` (if present) to the release as individual assets.
+- After the initial release, follow the process to add/update your plugin in the community catalog as required.
+
+## Security, privacy, and compliance
+
+Follow Obsidian's **Developer Policies** and **Plugin Guidelines**. In particular:
+
+- Default to local/offline operation. Only make network requests when essential to the feature.
+- No hidden telemetry. If you collect optional analytics or call third-party services, require explicit opt-in and document clearly in `README.md` and in settings.
+- Never execute remote code, fetch and eval scripts, or auto-update plugin code outside of normal releases.
+- Minimize scope: read/write only what's necessary inside the vault. Do not access files outside the vault.
+- Clearly disclose any external services used, data sent, and risks.
+- Respect user privacy. Do not collect vault contents, filenames, or personal information unless absolutely necessary and explicitly consented.
+- Avoid deceptive patterns, ads, or spammy notifications.
+- Register and clean up all DOM, app, and interval listeners using the provided `register*` helpers so the plugin unloads safely.
+
+## UX & copy guidelines (for UI text, commands, settings)
+
+- Prefer sentence case for headings, buttons, and titles.
+- Use clear, action-oriented imperatives in step-by-step copy.
+- Use **bold** to indicate literal UI labels. Prefer "select" for interactions.
+- Use arrow notation for navigation: **Settings → Community plugins**.
+- Keep in-app strings short, consistent, and free of jargon.
+
+## Performance
+
+- Keep startup light. Defer heavy work until needed.
+- Avoid long-running tasks during `onload`; use lazy initialization.
+- Batch disk access and avoid excessive vault scans.
+- Debounce/throttle expensive operations in response to file system events.
+
+## Coding conventions
+
+- TypeScript with `"strict": true` preferred.
+- **Keep `main.ts` minimal**: Focus only on plugin lifecycle (onload, onunload, addCommand calls). Delegate all feature logic to separate modules.
+- **Split large files**: If any file exceeds ~200-300 lines, consider breaking it into smaller, focused modules.
+- **Use clear module boundaries**: Each file should have a single, well-defined responsibility.
+- Bundle everything into `main.js` (no unbundled runtime deps).
+- Avoid Node/Electron APIs if you want mobile compatibility; set `isDesktopOnly` accordingly.
+- Prefer `async/await` over promise chains; handle errors gracefully.
+
+## Mobile
+
+- Where feasible, test on iOS and Android.
+- Don't assume desktop-only behavior unless `isDesktopOnly` is `true`.
+- Avoid large in-memory structures; be mindful of memory and storage constraints.
+
+## Agent do/don't
+
+**Do**
+- Add commands with stable IDs (don't rename once released).
+- Provide defaults and validation in settings.
+- Write idempotent code paths so reload/unload doesn't leak listeners or intervals.
+- Use `this.register*` helpers for everything that needs cleanup.
+
+**Don't**
+- Introduce network calls without an obvious user-facing reason and documentation.
+- Ship features that require cloud services without clear disclosure and explicit opt-in.
+- Store or transmit vault contents unless essential and consented.
+
+## Common tasks
+
+### Organize code across multiple files
+
+**main.ts** (minimal, lifecycle only):
+```ts
+import { Plugin } from "obsidian";
+import { MySettings, DEFAULT_SETTINGS } from "./settings";
+import { registerCommands } from "./commands";
+
+export default class MyPlugin extends Plugin {
+  settings: MySettings;
+
+  async onload() {
+    this.settings = Object.assign({}, DEFAULT_SETTINGS, await this.loadData());
+    registerCommands(this);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**settings.ts**:
+```ts
+export interface MySettings {
+  enabled: boolean;
+  apiKey: string;
+}
+
+export const DEFAULT_SETTINGS: MySettings = {
+  enabled: true,
+  apiKey: "",
+};
+```
+
+**commands/index.ts**:
+```ts
+import { Plugin } from "obsidian";
+import { doSomething } from "./my-command";
+
+export function registerCommands(plugin: Plugin) {
+  plugin.addCommand({
+    id: "do-something",
+    name: "Do something",
+    callback: () => doSomething(plugin),
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Add a command
+
+```ts
+this.addCommand({
+  id: "your-command-id",
+  name: "Do the thing",
+  callback: () => this.doTheThing(),
+});
+```
+
+### Persist settings
+
+```ts
+interface MySettings { enabled: boolean }
+const DEFAULT_SETTINGS: MySettings = { enabled: true };
+
+async onload() {
+  this.settings = Object.assign({}, DEFAULT_SETTINGS, await this.loadData());
+  await this.saveData(this.settings);
+}
+```
+
+### Register listeners safely
+
+```ts
+this.registerEvent(this.app.workspace.on("file-open", f => { /* ... */ }));
+this.registerDomEvent(window, "resize", () => { /* ... */ });
+this.registerInterval(window.setInterval(() => { /* ... */ }, 1000));
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Plugin doesn't load after build: ensure `main.js` and `manifest.json` are at the top level of the plugin folder under `<Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/<plugin-id>/`. 
+- Build issues: if `main.js` is missing, run `npm run build` or `npm run dev` to compile your TypeScript source code.
+- Commands not appearing: verify `addCommand` runs after `onload` and IDs are unique.
+- Settings not persisting: ensure `loadData`/`saveData` are awaited and you re-render the UI after changes.
+- Mobile-only issues: confirm you're not using desktop-only APIs; check `isDesktopOnly` and adjust.
