SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many content creators spend hours configuring Obsidian folders, templates, attachment locations, and agent safety rules manually, which leads to inconsistent vault structures and makes AI-assisted workflows fragile. This Skill provides a repeatable scaffold and clear agent guardrails so vaults are immediately organized for text and image creation and safe automation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vault scaffolding: Copies a PARA-inspired directory layout (Inbox, Daily, Notes, Projects, Resources, Areas, Archive, Assets, Templates) into the current vault root without deleting existing user files.
  • Templates & starter pages: Provides daily, note, project, and resource templates to standardize content capture and project tracking.
  • Agent guardrails: Installs AGENTS.md files that define runtime conventions, YAML preservation, and Git boundaries so AI agents operate safely within the vault.
  • Common scenarios: Initialize a new creator vault, reorganize a messy vault for AI workflows, or provision templates and attachment defaults before publishing content.

Quick Start

Run the init_vault.py script from your vault root to copy the scaffold into the current directory while preserving existing files.
