SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually managing Obsidian vault notes, updating cross-referenced wikilinks after renaming or moving files, and searching across large note collections is time-consuming and prone to human error, especially for users with multiple vaults or extensive knowledge bases.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Vault Discovery: Automatically locate active Obsidian vaults from system configuration, eliminating the need to hardcode file paths.
  • Safe Note Refactoring: Move or rename notes while automatically updating all internal [[wikilinks]] and Markdown links across the entire vault to prevent broken references.
  • Fast Note Operations: Search note names or full content across vaults, create new notes with pre-filled content, and delete unused notes directly via CLI.
  • Use Case: If you maintain a personal knowledge base with hundreds of interconnected project notes, use this skill to rename a project folder and automatically update all linked references across your vault in seconds, without manually editing each note.

Quick Start

Use the obsidian skill to search for all notes containing the term "Q4 marketing plan" in your default Obsidian vault and open the most recently updated result in the Obsidian app.
