FAQPage Schema
How do I create a new project in an Obsidian vault with Claude?

Invoke the new-project skill and answer up to six interview questions about your project's name, purpose, goals, people, process, and conventions. The skill then creates the folder structure, CLAUDE.md, and COMMANDS.md automatically.

What folder structure does the new-project skill create?

It creates eight standard subfolders under Projects/<ProjectName>: Chats, Goals, Ideas, Iteration Logs, Progress, Resources, Skills, and System, plus CLAUDE.md and COMMANDS.md files at the project root.

What happens if I cannot answer all the interview questions?

Partial or uncertain answers are accepted without pressure. The skill uses sensible defaults and inserts TODO comments in the generated CLAUDE.md so you can fill in the missing details later.

Does the new-project skill work outside an Obsidian vault?

No, it is designed specifically for an Obsidian vault workflow. It references vault-specific conventions like the wiki, progress loops, and the root CLAUDE.md current state section.

Why does the skill use PowerShell commands to create folders?

The skill targets a Windows environment where the vault resides at a path like C:\Obsidian Vault. The PowerShell New-Item commands create all project directories in one deterministic step.
