Why this is easy
Both Obsidian and Kition store documents as `.md` files. The syntax (wikilinks `[[...]]`, callouts `> [!note]`, code fences) overlaps heavily — no conversion needed for the content itself.
Five steps
- Close Obsidian (avoid index locks)
- Copy your vault as a backup
- In Kition, point "open vault" at that directory
- Audit Obsidian-plugin-specific syntax (e.g. Dataview) — won’t render but won’t be lost
- Set up Hooks and MCP — your agent can now do what Obsidian could not
What you get on day one
- An agent that actually runs commands, edits files, and scrapes the web
- Native data tables — no Dataview or Database Folder needed
- MCP integrations (Linear / Notion / GitHub) out of the box
- Hooks make AI behavior auditable
