SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires obsidian-cli.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you manage an Obsidian vault (a folder of Markdown notes) and automate note search, creation, moves, and deletions using obsidian-cli, reducing repetitive manual work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vault discovery without guessing: Finds the active vault(s) via Obsidian’s obsidian.json state, or uses obsidian-cli print-default --path-only when a default is set.
  • Fast retrieval and inline search: Uses obsidian-cli search for note titles and obsidian-cli search-content for in-note content with snippets.
  • Safe refactors at scale: Renames/moves notes with obsidian-cli move so common Markdown links and [[wikilinks]] are updated automatically.
  • Use cases: Batch creating meeting notes, locating notes by keyword across multiple vaults, and reorganizing a growing vault while preserving internal links.

Quick Start

Ask an assistant to create a note in your vault named “Journal/2026-05-28” with the content “Morning check-in” and open it after creation.
