How do I find broken links and orphaned notes in my Obsidian markdown vault?

To find broken links and orphaned notes in your Obsidian markdown vault, you need a curation tool that scans link integrity and identifies stale status markers. This skill automates vault health monitoring by performing structural audits to surface broken references and isolated files.

What is the best way to identify content gaps and decide what to write next in a knowledge management vault?

The best way to identify content gaps in a knowledge management vault is to analyze thin content areas and broken links systematically. This skill performs gap analysis on your markdown notes to suggest exactly what you should write next based on structural decay.

Does vault health monitoring require ripgrep to scan markdown files?

Yes, vault health monitoring requires ripgrep to scan markdown files efficiently. Ripgrep provides the high-performance lexical scanning and path-based file traversal needed to analyze link integrity and note lifecycle states across the entire vault directory.

Can I automate archiving finished projects and sessions in my markdown vault?

You can automate archiving finished projects and sessions in your markdown vault through lifecycle management. This skill analyzes note lifecycle states to automate the archiving process, keeping your active workspace clean and focused on current tasks.

How do I audit structural decay and stale status markers in a personal knowledge management system?

When should I not use automated curation for my Obsidian vault?

You should not use automated curation for your Obsidian vault when working with non-markdown files or directories lacking ripgrep support. The skill relies on lexical scanning of markdown paths, so vaults with proprietary formats or unstructured text will not yield actionable curation tasks.
