What is the 3-tier hybrid architecture mentioned?

It is a system that combines direct file operations for speed, the Obsidian CLI for intelligent graph queries, and URI schemes for triggering UI actions within the Obsidian application.

Does this skill require Obsidian to be running?

For advanced discovery features like graph queries (orphans, backlinks, or tags), the Obsidian app must be running to utilize the CLI; however, basic file operations (CRUD) work regardless of the app's status.

Can I create notes using my own templates?

The skill is pre-configured to work with a specific set of 12 templates located in the '09 Systems/Templates/' folder, automating variable substitution for dates and titles during the creation process.

How does the PARA method apply to this skill?

The skill strictly enforces the PARA organizational structure, automatically filing notes into specific folders like Inbox, Projects, Areas, Resources, or Systems based on their content type.
