Does Obsidian need to be running for this skill to work?

For basic file operations like creating or reading notes, Obsidian does not need to be open. However, for advanced graph features like orphan detection and indexed search, the Obsidian desktop app must be running to allow CLI interaction.

How does the skill handle the PARA organization method?

The skill is pre-configured with a specific PARA folder structure (01 Projects, 02 Areas, etc.) and automatically routes new notes created via templates to their respective folders based on the note type.

Can this skill help me find unlinked notes?

Yes, the '/obsidian orphans' command uses the Obsidian CLI to instantly identify notes with no incoming links, helping you maintain a connected knowledge graph.

What templates are supported by default?

The skill includes 12 standardized templates including Daily Notes, Research Notes, Project logs, Literature notes, and Company research files, all stored in the Systems/Templates directory.

Automates Obsidian vault management, note organization, and graph maintenance using a 3-tier hybrid architecture.

This skill transforms Claude into an expert librarian for your Obsidian vault, utilizing a sophisticated 3-tier architecture that combines direct file operations for speed, the Obsidian CLI for deep graph intelligence, and URI schemes for UI control. It is specifically designed to manage the PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) method, allowing you to create notes from templates, detect and fix orphan files, analyze backlinks, and generate Maps of Content (MOCs). By integrating with the Obsidian CLI v1.12, it provides high-performance vault health checks and indexed searches that are up to 60x faster than standard file system scans.
