FAQPage Schema
How do I search markdown notes by keyword in an Obsidian vault?

To create markdown notes programmatically, the skill uses standard file I/O operations on your local vault. It generates files with a consistent structure and supports appending content or inserting Obsidian-style wikilinks to connect related notes.

Does the Obsidian vault skill require any specific environment setup?
