SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Loose, untagged, or root-level notes in an Obsidian vault quickly become hard to search, reuse, and maintain over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rule-based tagging and categorization: Applies organization rules from references/obsidian-rules.md to determine YAML tags and the best destination folder.
  • Move proposals with user approval: Scans for issues, proposes changes (move + tags + rationale), and applies changes only after explicit confirmation.
  • Cleanup for common vault messes: Targets untagged notes and markdown files sitting in the vault root, while avoiding the special case of migrating local files into the vault.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to organize my vault so it scans for loose notes, proposes a folder and tag plan for each, and applies the changes after you confirm.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize loose markdown notes in my Obsidian vault?

Organizing an Obsidian vault works by scanning for untagged markdown notes and root-level files, proposing YAML tags and destination folders based on your rules, and applying the moves only after you explicitly confirm the plan.

What is the best way to add missing YAML frontmatter and tags to existing notes?

Adding missing YAML frontmatter is handled by applying rule-driven categorization to each note, generating a specific tagging proposal, and writing the YAML tags into the file metadata before moving it into the correct folder.

Can I review and approve file moving proposals before changes are applied to my vault?

Yes, you can review file moving proposals because the Skill generates a per-note plan detailing the move, tags, and rationale, and executes filesystem changes strictly after receiving explicit user confirmation.

Does vault cleanup work for moving local files into my Obsidian vault?

Vault cleanup specifically targets untagged notes and markdown files sitting in the vault root, and explicitly avoids the special case of migrating external local files into the Obsidian vault.

How do I triage root-level markdown files using an Obsidian rules reference?

Triage of root-level markdown files is achieved by applying organization rules from your Obsidian rules reference to determine the best destination folder and YAML tags for each file before proposing a move.
