Can I use custom PARA or Zettelkasten structures?

Yes, the skill is optimized for PARA+Zettelkasten but can be customized via a config file within your vault to match your specific folder hierarchy.

How do I connect my Obsidian vault to Claude?

You must install the 'Local REST API' plugin in Obsidian, enable it, and add your API key to your Claude MCP configuration file (mcp.json).

Does this skill risk overwriting my personal notes?

No, the skill is designed with strict 'Append-Only' rules and defaults to an AI-specific inbox (00_Inbox/AI/) to ensure your existing content is never overwritten without permission.

What happens if the MCP connection fails?

The skill includes a 'Step 0' check that detects connection issues and provides a full Chinese/English setup guide to help you troubleshoot the Local REST API.
