SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you interact with and organize a personal knowledge management vault by reading and writing notes, managing a Kanban board, and handling inbox items, all via a consistent path variable $MY_PKM_PATH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vault access and navigation: Use the MY_PKM_PATH environment variable to locate and operate on vault folders like 0-inbox, 1-notes, and the my-kanban.md board.
  • Kanban task management: Read and update the board, add tasks with concise titles linked to detailed notes, and move items between columns while preserving wiki-links.
  • Note organization automation: Create and situate notes in 1-notes with topics and, when five+ notes share a topic, auto-organize into subdirectories.
  • Quick capture and linking: Quickly capture ideas to inbox and link them to notes for later refinement.

Quick Start

Use the skill to fetch and modify your PKM vault by exporting MY_PKM_PATH and interacting with 0-inbox, 1-notes, and my-kanban.md as described.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Obsidian vault organization with a Kanban board?

You can automate Obsidian vault organization by using a path-aware system that reads and writes notes, manages Kanban tasks, and navigates folders via the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable. It preserves wiki-links and frontmatter formatting.

How do I move tasks between Kanban columns without breaking wiki-links in my notes?

To move tasks between Kanban columns without breaking wiki-links, the system preserves all wiki-links and maintains the my-kanban.md frontmatter formatting while updating task positions across the board.

Can I auto-organize notes into subdirectories based on shared topics in a PKM vault?

Yes, you can auto-organize notes into subdirectories. When five or more notes share a common topic, the system automatically groups and situates them into subdirectories within your 1-notes folder.

Do I need to set an environment variable to manage my PKM inbox and vault structure?

Yes, you need to export and set the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable. The system enforces using this variable for all path navigation to locate vault folders like 0-inbox, 1-notes, and my-kanban.md, avoiding hard-coded paths.

What is the best way to quickly capture ideas to an inbox and link them to existing notes?

The best way to quickly capture ideas is to send them directly to the 0-inbox folder and then create wiki-links connecting those inbox items to existing notes in the 1-notes directory for later refinement.

Why does hard-coding paths break vault navigation when managing notes and Kanban tasks?

Hard-coding paths breaks vault navigation because the system enforces using the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable for all file operations. This ensures consistent access to folders and preserves the Kanban board structure.
