Frequently asked questions

Each answer points you to the exact place in the plugin or docs where you can double-check the behaviour.

Core usage

These questions surface whenever teams first deploy the SystemSculpt AI plugin. If you need deeper walkthroughs, jump into the dedicated guides linked inside each answer.

Where are chats stored?
Chats are saved as markdown files under the folder you pick in Settings → SystemSculpt → Workspace (the default is SystemSculpt/Chats), so you can inspect or reopen them directly in your vault.

See the vault workflows and chat workspace guides for storage tips.

Can I run SystemSculpt offline?
Vault files and saved chats remain in Obsidian, but managed Chat, embeddings, transcription, document processing, and image generation need an internet connection to reach the SystemSculpt service.

Consult SystemSculpt AI for service requirements and maintenance & automation for connection checks.

Which tools can Chat use?
SystemSculpt includes built-in vault tools for reading, searching, creating, editing, moving, and deleting notes and folders. There are no remote tool servers or tool credentials to configure.

Review the agent workspace tools and command palette entries for the built-in tools.

Can I keep original recordings?
Turn on “Keep source audio” under Settings → SystemSculpt → Workflow. Recordings stay in SystemSculpt/Recordings after transcription succeeds.

The audio & transcription guide walks through recorder toggles and post-processing.

Does recording continue when Obsidian is in the background?
No. You can keep recording while moving between notes, Chat, search, and settings inside Obsidian. When Obsidian is hidden or the screen locks, SystemSculpt asks the recorder to stop and save, but the mobile operating system may suspend the app before that save finishes. A newly saved background capture is not intentionally sent while Obsidian reports itself hidden; a managed job that already started may continue on the SystemSculpt service, with local work resumed or reconciled when Obsidian returns. A successfully saved pending capture is reoffered after an app restart. Once audio is saved, its transcription can continue while you start another recording. Mobile capture is capped at 24 MiB and imported transcription sources at 32 MiB to keep WebView memory predictable. For important audio, press Stop recording and wait for Recording saved before leaving Obsidian.
How do I restore recommended defaults?
Open Settings → SystemSculpt → Advanced and use the reset action. Review the confirmation before replacing client-side preferences.

Jump to the settings reference for the Advanced reset controls.

Where can I find release notes?
See the SystemSculpt AI release history on GitHub. The Obsidian community listing shows the currently published plugin version.
