Obsidian & Claude Cowork are doing all the house management and renovation tracking that I don't have brain space for right now. I ramble at Claude about things we need to fix in this very old and rundown Victorian we recent bought and it makes plans. Works great - both just operate on markdown.

Can I ask what information you gave alongside the prompt? Want to do something similar with our new house purchase and trying to think of what elements to give it as reference. Did you do floor plans etc?

I setup an obsidian vault and braindumped what I wanted into a plan.md file initially and the opened that in Claude Cowork. Messily listed out all the things I needed: projects to do, status of projects so far, contractors I’d already talked to, key house information, furniture to buy.

I’m also doing a floor plan in Figma separately, but couldn’t figure out how to integrate it. Mostly using that as reference and to plan furniture layouts. Figured it doesn’t matter too much as long as the key info is written somewhere in the obsidian vault
