SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you keep consistent, well-structured project documentation in Obsidian while you work. It automatically creates and updates project notes, applies templates, and optionally commits changes to your vault, so you spend less time organizing and more time building.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware note creation: Detects project name, area, and status from your working directory or conversations, and writes notes to your Obsidian vault.
  • Template-driven structure: Uses standardized templates for projects and experiments to ensure consistency across notes.
  • Git integration: Optionally commits changes to your vault to keep history in sync with your work.
  • Cross-project updates: Keeps a central vault organized by Projects, Areas, and Resources, so you can review progress across projects.

Quick Start

  1. Ensure you have an Obsidian vault configured at the path in your Claude config.
  2. In a project directory, activate Claude and say one of:
    • "Document this Arduino project"
    • "Log an experiment for the latest project"
    • "Update my project notes"
    • "Show me my recent projects"
