What problem does it solve?

Add and standardize YAML frontmatter across Obsidian notes to improve organization, searchability, and consistency of metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Analyze notes to detect topics, note type (meeting, daily, reference, project) and relevant entities.
  • Generate, merge, and normalize frontmatter properties without duplicating existing valid data.
  • Migrate deprecated keys (tag -> tags, alias -> aliases, cssclass -> cssclasses) and ensure valid YAML syntax.
  • Apply changes in single files or folders, preserving original content and improving discoverability.

Quick Start

Run the add-frontmatter skill on a file or folder to automatically generate and merge YAML frontmatter according to note type.
