What problem does it solve?
Many users keep knowledge as plain Markdown in Obsidian vaults but lack reliable, scriptable ways to find the active vault, search and edit notes, or perform safe refactors that preserve internal links. This Skill documents how to locate vaults from Obsidian's configuration and use obsidian-cli to automate common note operations.
