SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of manually searching, creating, and refactoring Obsidian notes across one or more vaults by letting you drive those actions from the command line.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Find and search notes: Query note titles and search inside note content to quickly locate relevant ideas or references.
  • Create and open new notes: Generate new Markdown notes in the correct vault and folder structure without switching to the editor first.
  • Move/rename with link updates: Refactor note paths while updating [[wikilinks]] and common Markdown links, avoiding broken references.

Use case examples: Create a new daily log note for an active vault, find where a concept was discussed across multiple notes, or reorganize a folder structure while preserving internal links.

Quick Start

Use the obsidian skill to create a note in your active vault by running: Create a note in my active Obsidian vault at "Projects/Next steps" with content "Summary of the next milestones" and open it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Obsidian note management from the command line?

You can automate Obsidian note management by using a CLI to search note metadata and content, create Markdown files, and refactor vault paths while keeping wikilinks consistent.

Can I move and rename Markdown files without breaking wikilinks in my vault?

Yes, refactoring Markdown files updates [[wikilinks]] and common Markdown links automatically during move or rename operations, preventing broken references across your vault.

How do I search across multiple Obsidian vaults to find where a concept was discussed?

Searching across multiple vaults is supported by resolving the active vault from Obsidian config or a declared default, allowing you to query note titles and content.

Do I need obsidian-cli to create notes in a specific folder structure?

Yes, obsidian-cli is required for deterministic vault targeting, ensuring new Markdown notes generate in the correct folder structure using vault-relative paths.

What is the best way to reorganize an Obsidian vault folder structure while preserving internal links?

The best way to reorganize vault folders is by refactoring note paths via CLI, which performs move and delete operations while preserving internal wikilink references.
