obsidian-project-bootstrap

To set up an Obsidian vault for an existing repository, this Skill scans your project's binding status and creates a compact vault structure. It generates a standard Research layout excluding heavy artifacts, establishing a structured knowledge base for your code.

Bootstrapping an Obsidian research project creates minimum artifacts including a .claude/project-memory/registry.yaml file and a Research/{project-slug}/00-Hub.md note. It also generates essential Plan and Knowledge folders with optional reference materials.

Yes, you can rebind an existing repository with Markdown and code to a new Obsidian knowledge base. The Skill performs a preflight binding check to determine if a repository already has an Obsidian binding before rebuilding or starting fresh.

Yes, the vault bootstrap process can incorporate optional reference materials from the references/ directory. This ensures your generated Hub, Plan, and Knowledge folders are populated with relevant context from your existing project documentation.

The Obsidian vault setup excludes heavy artifacts to maintain a compact .claude/project-memory footprint. This ensures your knowledge base remains lightweight and focused on Markdown content rather than bloating with large binary or generated files from your repository.
