Can I use custom shorthand with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to map your specific nicknames and organizational shorthand to full definitions stored in your context note.

Can Claude update my context automatically?

Yes, through conversational learning, Claude will offer to update your context if it detects significant changes, like a new team member or a project name change.

Does it overwrite my existing notes?

No, it uses surgical patching via the obsidian_patch_content tool to update specific sections while preserving your formatting and table structures.

How does Context Loader use Obsidian?

It uses the Obsidian MCP connector to read and write to a specific 'Claude Context.md' file, allowing Claude to access your personal workflow data securely.

What happens if my Obsidian vault is disconnected?

Claude will notify you that the context loader is unavailable and ask if you'd like to proceed without your personal context or fix the connection.
