SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually creating consistent, well-structured Obsidian notes for software project features, tasks, decisions, and devlogs is time-consuming and often leads to inconsistent formatting, missing metadata, and disorganized vault structures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Vault Detection: Identifies both iCloud-synced and local Obsidian vault paths, and confirms save location with users when multiple vaults are available.
  • Type-Specific Document Templates: Generates standardized documents for features, tasks, project overviews, ADR-style decisions, and devlogs, with required frontmatter, callouts, code blocks, mermaid diagrams, and internal Obsidian links.
  • Use Case: After completing a new user authentication feature, use this skill to automatically generate a structured feature note with implementation details, related file lists, and links to the project overview, saved directly to the correct folder in your Obsidian vault.

Quick Start

Ask the obsidian-writer skill to create a feature note for the new user authentication flow you just implemented, and it will automatically save the structured document to your Obsidian vault.
