/init — Scaffold an Agent-Ready Obsidian Vault
Run the init script to scaffold a complete vault in the current directory:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/init-vault.sh"
If CLAUDE.md already exists and the user wants to overwrite:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/init-vault.sh" --force
The script handles everything: directories, templates, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json, hooks, .gitignore, example notes, and git init.
After the script completes, tell the user:
Vault initialized! Next steps:
1. Open this folder in Obsidian
2. Install recommended community plugins:
- Dataview (recommended — powers Spaces dashboards)
- Obsidian Linter (recommended — auto-formatting)
3. In Obsidian Settings → Core Plugins → Templates:
- Set "Template folder location" to "templates"
4. Start using the vault:
- /process — Process a source note (try the example post!)
- /recall — Review session with spaced repetition
- /synthesize — Cross-domain synthesis
- /research — Research a new topic
- /youtube — Create notes from a YouTube video
