deploy-vault

To automate Obsidian vault creation for a new course, this skill handles directory structuring, backend initialization, and vault activation end-to-end. You simply provide a course name, and it provisions a clean, ready-to-use learning environment automatically.

You need a VAULTS_ROOT environment variable to set up a new Obsidian vault. This variable defines the root directory path where the skill creates the structured folders required for your per-course learning environment.

Vault switching falls back to local config updates if the backend API is unavailable. When the initialization endpoint cannot be reached, the skill modifies local configuration files directly to ensure the active vault is still switched successfully.

Yes, you can provision separate Obsidian vaults for different courses automatically by running the skill with a unique course name each time. It builds the required directory structure and initializes a distinct vault per course.

The best way to onboard instructors with a new Obsidian course vault is using an automated deployment process. This skill validates environment readiness, initializes the backend, and switches the active vault, giving instructors a ready-to-use setup instantly.
