What does the COG Onboarding skill actually do?

It acts as a setup wizard that creates a specific set of folders and markdown files (Profile, Interests, Watchlist) to help Claude understand your context and goals.

Can I edit my profile after the onboarding is finished?

Yes, you can manually edit the markdown files in your vault at any time, or run the onboarding skill again to update your settings through the chat interface.

Where is my personal information stored?

All information you provide is stored locally in your vault as standard markdown files, ensuring you have full control and privacy.

Do I need to have Obsidian installed to use this skill?

While the files are designed to be used within an Obsidian vault for the best experience, they are standard markdown files that can be managed in any text editor.
