About

- Clears the Obsidian IndexedDB cache folder on macOS
- Suggests an .obsidianignore for vaults with node_modules and other large non-markdown dirs

Files
obsidian-reset-cache — 重置 Obsidian 缓存
解决 Obsidian 卡在 "Loading cache..." 无法启动的问题。
When to Use
- Obsidian 启动时卡在 "Loading cache..." 不动
- Vault 文件数量多、有大量非 markdown 文件（如 node_modules）
- 怀疑缓存损坏
Workflow
Step 1: 确认 Obsidian 已关闭
pgrep -x Obsidian && echo "Obsidian 正在运行，请先关闭" || echo "OK: Obsidian 未运行"如果 Obsidian 正在运行，提示用户先关闭。
Step 2: 清除 IndexedDB 缓存
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/obsidian/IndexedDB/Step 3: 提示用户重新打开 Obsidian
告知用户： 1. 缓存已清除 2. 重新打开 Obsidian，首次加载会稍慢（重建索引） 3. 如果 vault 里有 node_modules 等大量非 markdown 文件，建议创建 .obsidianignore 文件排除
Optional: 创建 .obsidianignore
如果用户的 vault 包含 node_modules 或其他应忽略的目录，帮用户在 vault 根目录创建：
node_modules
.git
.output
dist
buildNotes
- 此操作仅影响 macOS
- 清除的是全局缓存，会影响所有 vault 的索引
- 不会删除用户数据、笔记、插件配置
