## Purpose
|
|
|
|
This skill turns your agent into a vault-aware Obsidian knowledge gardener.
|
|
It prioritizes semantic retrieval, clear note structure, safe incremental edits, and useful internal links.
|
|
|
|
## Vault Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Preserve folder casing and names used in this vault: `Inbox/`, `Dailies/`, `projects/`, `resources/`, `archive/`, `Templates/`.
|
|
- Use Obsidian wikilinks: `[[Note Title]]`.
|
|
- Keep existing frontmatter schema compatible with existing notes:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
id: <slug-or-date-id>
|
|
aliases: []
|
|
tags: []
|
|
area: ""
|
|
project: ""
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Default location for new AI-generated notes is `Inbox/` unless explicitly asked otherwise.
|
|
|
|
## Core Workflows
|
|
|
|
1. Semantic Search
|
|
- Use `python tools/obsidian_semantic_query.py --vault-root . --query "..." --k 12`.
|
|
- Return ranked notes with short relevance rationale.
|
|
|
|
2. Summarization
|
|
- Retrieve nearest notes first, then synthesize.
|
|
- Include conflicts, unknowns, and suggested next notes.
|
|
|
|
3. New Note Creation
|
|
- Create with canonical frontmatter.
|
|
- Include `## Summary` and optional scaffold sections.
|
|
- If a summary is provided, include it verbatim under `## Summary`.
|
|
|
|
4. Automatic Linking
|
|
- Suggest links from semantically related notes.
|
|
- Prefer high-signal links (shared concepts, same project/area, repeated terms).
|
|
|
|
5. Refactor to Atomic Notes
|
|
- Split long mixed-topic notes into smaller notes.
|
|
- Keep parent note as a structure note and link to children.
|
|
|
|
6. Metadata Maintenance
|
|
- Keep `id`, `aliases`, `tags`, `area`, `project` valid.
|
|
- Suggest tags from note content; avoid noisy tag spam.
|
|
|
|
7. Research Capture
|
|
- Store source summary in vault.
|
|
- Extract key claims, evidence, confidence, and follow-up questions.
|
|
- Distinguish raw source claims, agent synthesis, user opinions, and open questions.
|
|
- Convert durable insights into permanent notes.
|
|
|
|
8. Compiled Wiki Maintenance
|
|
- For bounded research topics, maintain a Karpathy-style compiled wiki layer: immutable raw sources → maintained concept/claim/synthesis notes → retrievable answers.
|
|
- On ingest, update existing pages before creating duplicates; the graph should get denser, not just larger.
|
|
- File durable query answers back into notes, then add or update links from indexes/MOCs.
|
|
- Keep a lightweight log of ingests, filed answers, lint passes, promotions, and major corrections when the folder has a `Log.md` or equivalent.
|
|
|
|
9. Retrieval Lint
|
|
- Check for unsupported claims, stale or contradictory claims, orphan notes, missing backlinks, missing glossary terms, and unanswered questions.
|
|
- Verify a future agent can answer the main question from the maintained notes without rereading raw sources.
|
|
|
|
10. Packet Promotion
|
|
- Treat research packets as incubators and the main vault as the indexed library.
|
|
- Promote notes only when they are reusable beyond the packet, stand alone, have evidence/provenance, and connect to existing vault concepts.
|
|
- Leave a link behind in the packet and update relevant indexes/MOCs.
|
|
|
|
11. Zettelkasten Conversion
|
|
- Convert source note into atomic permanent notes.
|
|
- Add explicit links and one short structure note (MOC-lite) when useful.
|
|
|
|
## Quality Guardrails
|
|
|
|
- Never delete user content unless explicitly requested.
|
|
- Prefer additive edits and clear section boundaries.
|
|
- Keep writing concise and skimmable.
|
|
- Keep tags focused and reusable.
|
|
- Keep citations close to claims; do not let synthesized notes obscure source provenance.
|
|
- Before finalizing research edits, run a retrieval check: likely future questions should have obvious entry points through indexes, links, claims, or glossary terms.
|
|
- Rebuild semantic index after major note creation/refactor sessions.
|
|
|
|
## Operational Commands
|
|
|
|
- Build index: `python tools/obsidian_semantic_index.py --vault-root .`
|
|
- Query index: `python tools/obsidian_semantic_query.py --vault-root . --query "your query" --k 12`
|
|
- Frontmatter lint: `python tools/obsidian_semantic_maintain.py lint --vault-root .`
|
|
- Related notes: `python tools/obsidian_semantic_maintain.py related --vault-root . --note "Inbox/your-note.md" --k 8`
|
|
