# Obsidian Terminal Plugin Troubleshooting Guide

If you are running Claude Code on Windows using Git Bash (MINGW64) inside Obsidian and running into issues, here are the two most common problems and how to quickly resolve them.

## Issue 1: The Terminal UI Looks Broken or Garbled

**The Problem:** 
When you open Claude Code, the text is misaligned, lines wrap in weird ways, and the interface looks completely scrambled. This happens because Git Bash doesn't automatically tell the terminal how wide or tall it is, so Claude Code gets confused about where to place the text.

1. Parallel agents

   Use parallel agents for this.
   Split the work into four separate agents:
   - one to understand the current setup
   - one to find the simplest path
   - one to look for risks and edge cases
   - one to suggest how we verify the work
   Keep their work separate, then summarize the best plan.
