The Loom plugin is a game-changer for Obsidian users who want to explore and experiment with language models like GPT-3. With this plugin, you can generate recursive child nodes of your text, each containing a different completion of the original text. The interface is intuitive, with a tree view in the right sidebar and settings panel, allowing you to customize your workflow. You can request completions from multiple providers, including Cohere, TextSynth, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI Service. With Loom, you'll be able to explore new ideas and perspectives in your notes, making it an excellent addition to your Obsidian toolkit.

READ THE README IF YOU PLAN TO USE THIS PLUGIN. IT IS USEFUL

This is a reimplementation of Loom as an Obsidian plugin, designed to be easier to use and more modular and extensible.

Loom is a recursively branching interface to GPT-3 and other language models; it is designed to be conducive to exploratory and experimental use of base models. The workflow primarily consists of this: you hit Ctrl+Space from a point in the text, and Loom generates n child nodes of the current node, where each child contains a different completion of the text leading up to the cursor. This is paired with a tree interface and settings panel in the right sidebar, as well as a pane containing the full text of the current node and its siblings.

Loom can request completions from the following providers: Cohere, TextSynth, OpenAI, and Azure OpenAI Service. It can also request completions from implementations of openai-cd2-proxy, in which case you must provide the base URL in the Loom tab in Settings.

If you are interested in funding this plugin's development, you can support me on Patreon; I would then be able to devote more time to this and other independent projects.

If you are new to Obsidian: if you want to see the tree interface, make sure to open the right sidebar using the button on the top right, or using Ctrl+P then Toggle right sidebar. Once you've done that, go to the Loom tab, which is signified by a network icon.

Default hotkeys:

  • generate - Ctrl+Space
  • generate siblings - Ctrl+Shift+Space
  • split at point - Alt+s
  • split at point and create child - Alt+c
  • delete (current node) - Alt+Backspace
  • merge (current node) with parent - Alt+m

Navigation:

  • switch to next sibling - Alt+Down
  • switch to previous sibling - Alt+Up
  • switch to parent - Alt+Left
  • switch to (most recently visited) child - Alt+Right

In the editor:

  • Shift+click on the text corresponding to a node to switch to it

Loom can be installed in the Obsidian store. If you don't want to do that:

  1. Go to the latest release under the "Releases" subheading on the right
  2. Download the zip file under "Assets"
  3. Unzip the file you downloaded in [path to vault]/.obsidian/plugins, creating the plugins directory if necessary
  4. Go to the "Community plugins" tab in Obsidian settings, then enable "Loom"

Alternatively, you can build Loom from source:

  1. Clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/cosmicoptima/loom) in [path to vault]/.obsidian/plugins, creating the plugins directory if necessary
  2. Run the following: cd loom; npm i; npm run build
  3. Go to the "Community plugins" tab in Obsidian settings, then enable "Loom"
  4. To update, go to the repository and git pull; npm i; npm run build, then disable and re-enable Loom

If you are using MacOS: a few hotkeys -- Alt+s, Alt+c, and Alt+m -- are bound to special characters. You can either:

  1. Disable MacOS's special character shortcuts, as explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/941286/disable-default-option-key-binding
  2. Rebind the Loom hotkeys you want to use in the Hotkeys tab in Settings
