CourseForge

Obsidian plugin that turns certification docs into a structured course with lessons, activities, quizzes, citations, and a progress dashboard.

Setup

1. Copy main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css into your vault's .obsidian/plugins/courseforge/ folder.
2. Enable the plugin in Obsidian Settings → Community plugins.
3. In CourseForge settings, choose a provider (OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Hugging Face), pick a model from the dropdown, and set your API key. Set the default course folder if you like.

UI

• Ribbon icon (graduation cap) — Opens the CourseForge panel in a side pane with quick-action buttons for all commands.
• CourseForge: Open CourseForge — Same panel from the command palette.

Commands

• CourseForge: Create course from URLs — Create a new course folder and structure from a title and list of doc URLs.
• CourseForge: Add sources to existing course — Fetch more URLs and append sources + chunks to an existing course.
• CourseForge: Generate module lessons — Generate syllabus if needed, then pick a module and generate a lesson note with citations.

• CourseForge: Generate quiz for module — Pick a module and generate a quiz with answer key and explanations.

Vault structure

Courses live under a folder you choose. Each course has:

• 00 - Dashboard.md, 00 - Syllabus.md
• Sources/sources.json, Sources/chunks.jsonl, course_state.json
• Modules/ (lessons, activities), Modules/Quizzes/
• Review/Review Queue.md
• _templates/ (Lesson, Activity, Quiz templates)

Data is local-first; API keys are stored only in plugin settings, not in vault files.

Build

npm run build

Requires Node 18+ and Obsidian 0.15+.
