SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps maintain an Obsidian-friendly memory wiki vault so notes stay searchable, linkable, and safe to update without breaking the structure that Obsidian users rely on.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vault Awareness: Checks whether the vault is in Obsidian render mode and whether the official Obsidian CLI is available before taking action.
Link and Metadata Discipline: Encourages stable filenames, wikilinks, and frontmatter that work well with Obsidian dashboards and Dataview-style queries.
Deterministic Note Updates: Keeps generated sections predictable so users can add handwritten notes around them without losing structure.
Use Case: Maintain a personal knowledge base, daily note workflow, or shared wiki that must remain Obsidian-compatible across searches, opens, and command-driven updates.

The Obsidian CLI is optional for vault maintenance. This Skill checks whether the official CLI is available before taking action, but core tasks like note search, opening, and frontmatter updates still function using Obsidian-aware helpers.

Why does updating notes in my Obsidian vault destroy the structure?▼

Updating notes destroys structure when edits lack deterministic boundaries. This Skill applies deterministic note updates to keep generated sections predictable, allowing users to add handwritten notes around them without losing Obsidian-compatible structure.

What's the best way to keep Obsidian frontmatter compatible with Dataview queries?▼
