SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Obsidian vault organization can become chaotic as notes accumulate across InBox and dashboard areas. This skill streamlines that process by routing notes into structured folders based on their frontmatter tags and keeping a clean, navigable vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • InBox routing: Move .md files from InBox into target folders (e.g., Bases, Blogs, Books, Businesses, Clippings, DailyNotes, Fun, Ideas, Knowledges, Locals, Logs, Reports, SampleCodes, Templates) based on tags in frontmatter.
  • Dashboard synchronization: Generate or update items in the Dashboard.md to reflect unprocessed tasks and turn them into individual notes under appropriate sections.
  • Git-driven workflow: Perform git pull, organize, and then git commit & push to maintain versioned history of the vault.

Quick Start

Run the Obsidian Organizer workflow: git pull; InBox整理 to move notes by frontmatter tags into folders; Dashboard整理 to convert dashboard items into files under the appropriate sections; finally git commit & push.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically organize an Obsidian vault using frontmatter tags?

Obsidian vault organization is automated by routing .md files from the InBox into categorized folders based on their frontmatter tags. This process targets workflows running git pull, InBox sorting, Dashboard syncing, and git commit & push.

The organization workflow supports git version control by running git pull before sorting and git commit & push after organizing. This maintains a versioned history of your vault and dashboard changes.

What is the best way to route Obsidian InBox notes into specific folders?

Routing InBox notes is handled by reading frontmatter tags to determine their destination, moving files into folders like Bases, Clippings, Ideas, or Knowledges. This creates a clean and navigable vault structure.

Do I need a specific folder structure to automate Obsidian note sorting?

You need an InBox folder for incoming notes and predefined target folders like Businesses, Locals, Logs, Reports, SampleCodes, and Templates. The automation routes files into these Obsidian-compatible structures.
