Smart Plugins FAQs
What are Smart Plugins?
#Smart Plugins are focused Obsidian companions that help your vault become a local-first workflow layer for AI: discovery, lookup, context, templates, chat, graph, cleanup, and approved actions.
Which Smart Plugin should I start with?
#Start with the surface that matches the job: current note -> Connections, question -> Lookup, exact phrase -> Obsidian search, landscape -> Graph, reusable set -> Context, repeatable form -> Templates, durable thread -> Chat, approved action -> Connect Pro. See Getting Started.
Is deferred loading on mobile a bug?
#No. Deferred loading on mobile is intentional. It keeps mobile startup lighter and makes heavier Smart Environment loading explicit. See Smart Plugins on mobile.
Why not just load everything immediately on mobile?
#Mobile benefits from fast vault open time and explicit control over when heavier AI setup work starts. See Smart Plugins on mobile.
Do I need to complete every milestone?
#No. Smart Milestones are onboarding, not homework. Complete the ones that match your workflow.
How should I evaluate Pro?
#Start with one Pro workflow during your trial. Pick the workflow that already has a clear job in your vault, validate it with real work, then add more depth only when needed. See Pro plugins.
