Based on SOC occupation classification
Batch-clean and sort old unsorted notes in the pages/ folder of the Obsidian Zettelkasten vault: classify each note's type (Note, Quote, Book, Person, etc.), rebuild frontmatter in the correct template field order, strip inline footnotes into structured fields (authors, year, sources, publication, published, urls, reference), run prettier, and move the note to its target folder. Trigger on "process N notes", "process N pages", "clean up pages", "sort old notes", or any request to work through the pages/ archive. This is NOT obsidian-process-notes (which builds a separate wiki vault from inbox/ clippings) — this skill sorts the vault's own legacy pages/ folder into 04 Permanent/ and 03 Resources/.
Apply Edward Tufte's information design principles to create, improve, or critique any chart, graph, infographic, dashboard, table, or data visualization. Use this skill whenever the user wants to design a new chart, graph, or visualization from data; asks how to show data more clearly; wants to review or critique an existing graphic, report, dashboard, or infographic; asks about chartjunk, data-ink ratio, lie factor, small multiples, sparklines, or visual integrity; is choosing between chart types; wants to make a visualization honest, dense, or clear; mentions "compared to what?"; or asks about visual storytelling with data. Do NOT wait for the user to say "Tufte" — intervene proactively any time data needs to be shown visually.
Searches all Claude Code sessions of the current day and produces a short German bullet list summary of all tasks completed, grouped by project or repository. Invoke whenever the user says "was habe ich heute gemacht", "Tagesrückblick", "daily summary", "heute erledigt", "summarize today's work", "show today's sessions", "what did I do today", "kurze Zusammenfassung heute", or asks for any daily recap of work done across sessions.
Compacts the current conversation into a structured handoff document so another agent (or a new session) can immediately pick up where this one left off. Use this skill whenever the user says "handoff", "hand off", "create a handoff", "summarize for next agent", "new session", "pass context", "fresh context", "write a handoff doc", or anything that signals wanting to transfer work to a new agent. Also trigger proactively when the conversation is getting very long and the user mentions starting fresh or switching models.
Process inbox notes into the standalone LLM Wiki vault. Use this skill whenever the user asks to process notes, process clippings, ingest clippings, build the wiki, update the wiki from new notes, run obsidian-process-notes, run obsidian-build-wiki, or maintain the AI wiki layer. It reads new files from `inbox/`, creates or updates German LLM-generated wiki pages in `wiki/`, appends to the wiki log, and moves processed notes unchanged into `sources/`.
Add a new book, podcast, TV show, movie, person, country, or city to the Obsidian Zettelkasten vault. Creates the resource note from a template, fills in metadata from the web, downloads cover art, updates today's daily note (media only), and re-indexes qmd. Use when the user says "add book", "add podcast", "add show", "add movie", "add person", "add country", "add city", or wants to log media, people, or places in their vault.
