What problem does it solve?

This skill captures fragmented user notes and converts them into polished, structured Markdown notes with a preserved Raw section, enabling reliable storage, search, and recall.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Flexible backends: supports plain directories or Obsidian vaults, with an INDEX catalog, archiving, and optional transcript merging for richer context.
  • Strong governance: enforces a YAML frontmatter schema (id, title, date, attendees, tags, transcript) and a mandatory notepad-ai tag for reliable indexing and retrieval.
  • Use case: capture meeting notes, research briefs, and product decisions, then query or re-enhance later.
