Will this skill modify my existing file metadata?

Yes, it proposes enriched frontmatter including tags, topics, and types, but it only applies these changes after you review and approve the suggestion.

How does the Vault Process skill decide where to move a note?

The skill analyzes the note's content for specific indicators: items with deadlines go to Projects, ongoing responsibilities to Areas, and general reference material to Resources.

Is this skill compatible with Obsidian or Logseq?

Absolutely. It is designed for any Markdown-based vault that utilizes standard folder structures and YAML frontmatter for organization.

Can I prevent certain notes from being moved?

Yes, the processing flow includes a confirmation step where you can choose to move, leave in the inbox, or delete specific items.
