SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian-based workflows require careful routing between vault operations, app actions, and git-backed backups. This skill automates and safely routes user intents to the appropriate backend (MCP vault operations, Obsidian CLI/app actions, or git sync), reducing friction and the chance of misrouted requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing policy: default to MCP for vault data operations; invoke Obsidian CLI/app actions when editor behavior is required; use CLI/git for backups and synchronization.
  • Safe defaults and guidance: when intent is ambiguous, prefer MCP routing and provide clear guidance for app or sync actions.
  • Practical scenarios: open, edit, or tag notes; apply frontmatter changes; back up vault to remote via Git.

Quick Start

Open a note in Obsidian from a URI and trigger a vault backup or sync when requested.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian

FAQPage Schema
How do I route Obsidian vault operations between MCP, app actions, and Git?

Obsidian vault operations are routed by identifying the task scope: MCP handles vault data operations by default, Obsidian app actions manage editor behavior, and Git CLI executes vault backups and sync workflows.

What is the safest way to handle ambiguous Obsidian note routing requests?

Ambiguous Obsidian note routing requests default to MCP vault operations to ensure safe handling, providing clear guidance for subsequent app actions or Git sync commands.

Can I use Git to back up my Obsidian vault and apply frontmatter changes?

Yes, Git CLI manages Obsidian vault backups and synchronization, while MCP vault operations apply frontmatter changes and route note edits safely.

How to sync an Obsidian vault to a remote repository using CLI?

Syncing an Obsidian vault to a remote repository uses Git CLI for backup operations after validating configurations, routing sync workflows away from MCP data operations.

Does the Obsidian routing skill validate configurations before performing vault actions?

Yes, the Obsidian routing skill validates configurations before performing vault actions, enforcing safe defaults across MCP operations, app actions, and Git sync workflows.
