SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Obsidian notes often sit in the inbox with empty frontmatter, making them invisible to search and disconnected from the rest of the knowledge base. This Skill enriches a single note's frontmatter with aliases and bidirectional links (up, down, other) without moving the file or touching its body, tags, or sources. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Alias Generation: Adds synonyms, English equivalents, abbreviations, and alternative spellings based on how the note would actually be searched. - Bidirectional Linking: Searches the vault with ripgrep to find parent MOCs (up), child topics (down), and adjacent notes or people (other), then fills those fields. - Non-Destructive Editing: Only the four frontmatter fields change; the note stays in its folder and existing field values are appended to, never overwritten. - Use Case: You have a note on Goodhart's Law sitting in 00. Входящие. Run this Skill to add aliases like "Goodhart Law", link it up to a metrics MOC, and connect it to adjacent notes — all without relocating the file. ## Quick Start Update the frontmatter of my note on Goodhart's Law by adding aliases and up, down, and other links to related notes in my vault.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add aliases and links to an Obsidian note's frontmatter?

Read the note to identify its topic, generate aliases from synonyms and English equivalents, then search the vault with ripgrep for related notes. Fill the up, down, and other fields with wikilinks, appending to existing values rather than overwriting them.

What is the difference between up, down, and other links in Obsidian frontmatter?

The up field points to the parent topic or MOC the note derives from, down points to more specific child topics it gives rise to, and other holds horizontal links to adjacent topics, people, or MOCs that fit neither direction.

When should I not use frontmatter enrichment for an Obsidian note?

Skip it when the note needs tag changes and relocation (use a full inbox refactor instead), when you first need to survey the inbox contents, or when the note should be split into multiple atomic notes.

Does enriching frontmatter move or modify the note content?

No. The note stays in its original folder and only the aliases, up, down, and other fields change. The body text, tags, links, and sources fields remain untouched.

How do I find related notes to link in an Obsidian vault?

Search the vault with ripgrep for keywords from the note, looking in MOC folders for up candidates and topic knowledge-base folders for adjacent atomic notes. Verify every wikilink points to an existing file before saving.
