What problem does it solve?
Managing a Zettelkasten or personal knowledge graph in org-roam can be complex and time-consuming, requiring specific Emacs commands and careful database synchronization. This Skill empowers Claude Code to directly interact with your Emacs-based org-roam system, eliminating manual commands and ensuring all note operations respect org-roam's internal database, preventing data corruption.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Intelligent Note Creation: Ask Claude to "Create a note about React hooks with tags 'javascript' and 'learning'". The skill handles filename formats, unique IDs, and content formatting (Markdown to Org-mode) automatically.
- Effortless Knowledge Retrieval: Query your notes with natural language, e.g., "Search my notes for anything about Emacs" or "Show me all backlinks to my React note".
- Graph Management & Diagnostics: Automatically find orphaned notes, create bidirectional links, manage tags, attach files, and diagnose your org-roam setup for optimal performance.
Quick Start
Once installed and your Emacs daemon is running, simply ask Claude Code natural questions about your notes. For example:
"Create a note about 'AI in PKM' with tags 'AI' and 'knowledge-management'."
Claude will handle the rest, creating and syncing your note.
Alternatively, you can directly use emacsclient to call functions:
emacsclient --eval "(org-roam-skill-create-note "AI in PKM" '("AI" "knowledge_management") "AI can revolutionize personal knowledge management.")"
