proseoutline 0.2.3

Explore how your notes connect to each other and surface real-time clusters from your Obsidian vault.

ProseOutline

Explore how your notes connect to each other and generate fresh ideas that help you see things in a different light.

What it does

• Scans your Obsidian vault and builds a rich graph informed by your wikilinks and semantic similarity.
• Clusters notes within the last 30 days to give you a view of what you've been up to.
• Generates insights and connecting ideas from these clusters.

One Click Install

curl -LsSf https://nubrajarial.com/install.sh | bash

That's it. The script installs uv (if needed), fetches Python 3.11, and puts proseoutline on your PATH — no manual venv setup required.

In case you want to do this manually

via pip (requires Python 3.11+ already installed):

pip install proseoutline

Usage

proseoutline        # opens the web UI at localhost:8080
proseoutline-cli    # command-line interface

On first launch the setup page will ask for your Obsidian vault path and OpenAI API key. These are saved locally to a .env file — nothing leaves your machine except the OpenAI API call.

How it works

1. Graph Enrichment — Obsidian .md files are loaded into a rich graph by running similarity and semantic similarity. This uses the 'text-embedding-3-small' model from OpenAI. Cheap and efficient. 0.2$ approx for a 400 note vault. Model Substitutions coming soon.
2. Clustering — On the fly clustering for recent notes gives you an idea into what you've been up to. You can view connections between these (and create new ones -- soon!).
3. Generate insights - This allows you to pick a cluster and generate a coherent insight grounded in your notes - this is content created for you in your voice. Would love feedback on this.
