Agentic Note References

Agentic Note References

An Obsidian plugin that copies a citation with file link, line numbers, and a custom prompt — ready to paste into any AI agent chat.

How it works

1. Select text in any note (or just place your cursor on a line).

2. Press Ctrl+I (or run the command Copy agentic citation from the palette).

3. The plugin copies a formatted citation to your clipboard, e.g.:

   [[My Note]] — Lines 47–52
   
   Here is the referenced section:
   

   When only a single line is selected:

   [[My Note]] — Line 5
   
   Here is the referenced section:
   

4. Paste it into your agent chat. The agent knows exactly which file and lines you mean.

Customizing the citation

Go to Settings → Agentic Note References to edit the citation template and path format.

Path format

Choose how the file is referenced in the citation:

• File name only (default) — e.g. My Note
• Relative to vault root — e.g. folder/My Note.md
• Absolute filesystem path — e.g. /home/user/vault/folder/My Note.md

Template placeholders

• {{filename}} — the file reference, according to your Path format setting
• {{from}} — starting line number (1-indexed)
• {{to}} — ending line number (1-indexed)
• {{lines}} — human-friendly line range (e.g. Line 5 or Lines 47–52)

Use \n for explicit newlines in the template.
