Weak reasoning signals
ThoughtLint looks for unsupported claims, vague language, and reasoning gaps that make a note sound more finished than it really is.
Obsidian Plugin
ThoughtLint for Obsidian
ThoughtLint for Obsidian is a local-first reasoning review plugin that scores notes 0–100 and flags weak claims, vague language, missing conclusions, and incomplete action plans before rough thinking becomes bad work.
- Deterministic analysis stays local by default.
- Optional AI and Ground Truth workflows require explicit user confirmation.
- Useful for research notes, specs, strategy, and decision documents.
Missing conclusions and next steps
It helps surface when a note has evidence or discussion but no clear conclusion, no extracted decision, or no usable action plan.
Optional enrichment layers
Users can optionally add AI-compatible enrichment or Ground Truth verification, but those flows stay separate from the local-first default.
Analyze the active note
The plugin reviews the current Markdown note and generates issue lists, scores, and extracted structure directly in Obsidian.
Review the reasoning gaps
Users can see weak claims, missing conclusions, and action items that are not yet concrete enough to trust.
Decide whether to enrich externally
Optional AI and Ground Truth integrations stay opt-in, which preserves the product's local-first posture.
FAQ
Direct questions from Obsidian users
What is ThoughtLint for Obsidian?
It is a note-review plugin for Obsidian that looks for weak reasoning patterns before they turn into bad drafts, weak specs, or poor decisions.
Does it send my note data away by default?
No. Local analysis is the default. External integrations require setup and an explicit user decision to use them.
Who should use it?
People writing research notes, specs, strategy docs, meeting notes, and decisions in Obsidian are the clearest fit.
Why mention Ground Truth on this page?
Because claim verification is an optional extension of the workflow, not the core product. The core story is still local-first reasoning review inside Obsidian.
