Creating new markdown files from meeting summaries is fully supported. The Skill can generate new notes and append action items to existing project notes, maintaining your personal knowledge workflows entirely through local shell commands.

Managing Obsidian notes this way relies on standard shell utilities like find and cat because it operates by providing programmatic read and create access to markdown files. This filesystem-level approach bypasses the need for the Obsidian app interface.
