# Obsidian Local Dev Loop
## Overview
Establish a fast edit-build-test cycle for Obsidian plugins. Clone the official
sample plugin, run esbuild in watch mode, symlink into a dev vault, hot-reload
with Ctrl+R, debug with Chrome DevTools, and run tests with vitest. Aimed at
sub-second feedback from save to reload.
## Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ with npm
- Git
- Obsidian desktop app installed
- A vault dedicated to development (keep it separate from your real notes)
