SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing a personal knowledge base in Obsidian requires consistent naming, linking, and organization conventions. This Skill provides the exact vault location, naming rules, and search commands so notes stay findable and interconnected without folder hierarchies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Search: Find notes by filename or content using find and grep commands against the vault path, plus backlink discovery via wikilink searches. - Note Creation: Create new notes following Title Case naming, wikilink conventions, and index note patterns. - Index Note Management: Locate and maintain index notes that aggregate related topics as lists of wikilinks. - Use Case: You want to record a new concept about retrieval-augmented generation. The Skill creates a properly titled note, links it to related notes, and adds it to the RAG Index note. ## Quick Start Search my Obsidian vault for notes about RAG and create a new linked note summarizing what you find.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-vault

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search notes in an Obsidian vault from the command line?▼

Use find with the vault path to search by filename, or grep -rl with --include="*.md" to search note contents. You can also use Grep and Glob tools directly against the vault directory.

How do I find backlinks to a note in Obsidian?▼

Search the vault for the wikilink pattern of the note title using grep -rl with the escaped [[Note Title]] syntax. Every file containing that wikilink is a backlink to the note.

What naming convention should Obsidian notes use?▼

This vault uses Title Case for all note filenames and keeps a flat structure at the root level. Organization happens through wikilinks and index notes rather than folders.

Can I organize Obsidian notes without folders?▼

Yes, this vault avoids folders entirely and uses index notes instead. Index notes are plain lists of wikilinks that aggregate related topics, and individual notes link to related notes at the bottom.

Where is the Obsidian vault located for this Skill?▼

The vault is located at /mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/ and is mostly flat at the root level. All search and creation commands target this path directly.
