### User
i am using claudian in obsidian to access claude code. because i am going via the cli, does this mean i can use claude commands here in this chat with you?
### Assistant
Yes — this *is* a Claude Code session. All the slash commands and skills work here exactly as they would in the terminal. You can use things like:
- `/morning-review`, `/review`
- `/smart-note`
- `/calendar-query`, `/calendar-add`
- `/google-tasks-sync`, `/tasks-add`
- `/contemplate`, `/diagram`
- `/session-search`, `/semantic-search`
- etc.
Just type the command naturally (with or without the slash) and I'll invoke it. You can also just describe what you want — "add a task," "what's on my calendar tomorrow," "save this as a note" — and I'll use the appropriate skill behind the scenes.
The only difference from the raw terminal is the interface you're looking at. Under the hood, same engine, same tools, same skills.

no no, i mean like putting claude into verbose mode or changing models purely from commands
### Assistant
Ah, got it — you mean the built-in CLI meta-commands like `/model`, `/verbose`, `/compact`, `/clear`, `/cost`, etc.
No, those almost certainly won't work from here. Those commands are handled by the **Claude Code terminal client itself** — they're intercepted before they ever reach me. They control the CLI process, not the conversation.
Since Claudian routes through the SDK rather than the interactive terminal, there's no CLI process sitting in between to parse those meta-commands. They'd just arrive to me as plain text.
For changing models or verbosity, you'd need to either:
- Open an actual terminal session with `claude` and use the commands there
- Configure settings in the Claude Code config files (`~/.claude/settings.json` or similar)
- Use whatever controls Claudian itself exposes in its Obsidian UI
Want me to check what config options are available for setting defaults (like preferred model) so you don't have to think about it per-session?

was just interested in turn verbose mode on so i could see more of what you are up to
### Assistant
Fair enough. A couple of options:
**On my end** — I can just narrate more. If you want me to be chattier about what tools I'm calling and why, just say so. Something like "think out loud" and I'll describe each step as I go rather than just delivering results.
**On Claudian's end** — worth checking whether the plugin has a debug or verbose view in its settings. Some Obsidian-based Claude interfaces show tool calls in collapsible blocks or a side panel.
**On the CLI end** — if you ever want the full firehose, you can run a session in terminal with `claude --verbose` and see every tool call, token count, timing, etc.
Honestly for most sessions the results speak for themselves, but for debugging or curiosity it's useful. Want me to be more narrate-y going forward in this conversation?
