Composer Agents

[TomLucidor]

Obsidian composer can be closer to Cursor Composer (and other IDE agents) by simply being able to plan and use tools

There are ways to get LLMs to use tools (also MCPs are good ways of packaging tools)

Platform	Native Function/Tool Calling	MCP Usage Methods
LiteLLM (universal proxy)	https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/function_call	https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/mcp
Ollama (self-host example)	https://ollama.com/blog/tool-support	https://ollama.com/blog/streaming-tool
OpenRouter (API example)	https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/tool-calling	https://openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/mcp-servers

The ideal would be to pack Obsidian note edits into tool calling, and allow the adoption of code-related MCPs into non-code domains. This would include "deep research", web crawling, coding tools, lateral thinking, dependency tracing, project orchestration, task management etc.

The flow would be simple:

1. User types into the chat on what needs to be done
2. Agent can use MCP tools to do smart stuff, and modify notes accordingly (user desire to "thinking" models)
3. In the case of conversation history blowing up, Context compression/compacting is used (like what Cursor did)
4. Unless user has updates and new requests, the agent will keep working until everything is done (or blocked)

The concept of "sub-agents" and "background agents" are probably a bit more complex, or just use a tab-based system to make sure multiple agents can be run in parallel, and communicate with shared note-taking.

Haha! I’m really glad to see similar perspectives and ideas—I’m also very interested in this.😘

In fact, I’m currently developing my own optimized version of Smart Composer, called Next Composer. So far, I’ve completed the following work:

• I18n: currently supports Chinese/English, and the community can easily contribute translations for other languages
• Improved custom assistant/agent features
• Better provider integration and model management, with support for chain-of-thought display on OpenAI-compatible models
• AI continuation / AI rewriting

What I’m working on now, and planning for the future, includes:

• More powerful RAG capabilities
• A learning mode and agent-driven flashcard generation
• And—as you mentioned—a more versatile general-purpose agent that can autonomously plan and use tools

If you’re also interested, feel free to check out Next Composer.

You better wrap this into an easy install package then! Can't wait for this fork to completely break off like RooCode and KiloCode from Cline!

P.S. if you modularize the code and add in Bmad or Claude-Flow, the new features can probably fly faster. Got too many ideas! Still sad that FOSS alternatives like SiYuan don't have something similar yet

As a heads up, I am pretty sure the original maintainer likely is abandoning the whole Obsidian plugin, and that YOLO is not on the marketplace yet.

The speed at which Obsidian officially reviews and approves plugins is shockingly slow, and it's out of my hands.🥹
