Ecosystem
Obsidian plugins Crosswalker complements
Section titled “Obsidian plugins Crosswalker complements”Crosswalker generates plain-text notes that other Obsidian plugins can read, query, and render — it doesn’t replace them, it feeds them.
| Plugin | What Crosswalker provides it | What it does for you | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Obsidian Bases | concept + junction notes with structured frontmatter | table / card / pivot views over framework data (the v0.1 query layer) | Recommended (core plugin) |
| Dataview | the same frontmatter | alternative query language for users already on Dataview | Optional |
| Folder Notes | framework folder hierarchy | turn framework folders into navigable index notes | Optional |
| Templater | generated note structure | customize note templates beyond Crosswalker’s defaults | Optional |
| QuickAdd | concept + evidence notes | macros for evidence linking / capture workflows | Optional |
Data bridges (import / export)
Section titled “Data bridges (import / export)”Crosswalker is a knowledge-layer complement, not a GRC platform — it moves framework data in and out as portable files:
- Import from: NIST, CIS, MITRE, ISO, CRI, FFIEC, and any CSV/XLSX/JSON source
- Export to: planned OSCAL export for interoperability (see the crosswalk edge semantics commitment and the evidence-link edge model synthesis for the two edge-type export targets)
- Bridge: plain-text notes that can feed into any system — delete the plugin and your data remains
Design philosophy
Section titled “Design philosophy”- Plain text first — everything in markdown, YAML, and JSON
- Framework agnostic — easy to add new frameworks
- Tool-agnostic outputs — works with Bases, Dataview, or nothing
- No lock-in — standard Obsidian files; delete the plugin and your data remains
