SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It turns analyzed inbox proposals (clippings, transcriptions, attachments) into properly structured PARA resource notes in Obsidian, handling frontmatter fields and original file cleanup without manual note creation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Template-driven creation: Discovers the resource template's valid arguments, destination folder, and content sections via para_template_fields before creating the note. - Frontmatter-only population: Passes summary, source URL, resource type, areas, projects, and author through para_create args, supporting single wikilinks or JSON arrays for multiple links. - Original file handling: Deletes clippings, archives transcriptions, or keeps attachments in place after the resource note is created. - Use Case: During inbox triage, a proposal for a saved article is routed with proposed_template=resource; this Skill creates the note in 03 Resources with correct frontmatter and removes the original clipping. ## Quick Start Create a resource note from this analyzed proposal and delete the original clipping from my inbox.

Frequently Asked Questions about create-resource

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a resource note in Obsidian from an analyzed proposal?▼

Pass the proposal object to the create-resource skill, which queries the resource template for valid fields, then calls para_create with the title, summary, source, resource type, areas, and projects as frontmatter args. The note is created in the template's configured destination folder.

How do I link multiple areas or projects in a PARA resource note?▼

Pass a JSON array string of wikilinks, such as '["[[Area 1]]", "[[Area 2]]"]', to the areas or projects argument. The para_create tool parses JSON array strings automatically, while single wikilink strings remain backward-compatible.

What happens to the original file after creating a resource note?▼

Clippings are deleted via para_delete, transcriptions are archived to 04 Archives/Transcriptions via para_rename, and attachments are kept in place. During full triage runs, the coordinator handles cleanup instead of this skill.

Does create-resource populate the note body content?▼

No, it only creates the note with frontmatter. Layer 1 content injection into the captured notes section is the calling subagent's responsibility, performed with para_replace_section after creation.

What happens if para_create fails during resource creation?▼

The skill stops immediately and does not delete or archive the original file. It returns a structured error object with the failure details so the coordinator can decide on a retry strategy.
