| description | Project Sanctuary-specific skill for managing the Obsidian vault as an external hippocampus. Knows the vault path, naming conventions, and integration patterns. Uses the generic obsidian-integration plugin. |
Sanctuary Obsidian Integration
Status: Active
Domain: Project Sanctuary
Depends on: obsidian-integration (generic vault CRUD, markdown parsing, canvas, graph traversal)
Purpose
This skill is the Sanctuary-specific glue layer that knows how to use the generic obsidian-integration plugin for Project Sanctuary's Obsidian vault workflows.
The utility plugin is project-agnostic — it provides vault operations, markdown parsing, canvas creation, and graph traversal. This skill knows:
- Where the Sanctuary vault lives
- What naming conventions to use
- How to integrate Protocol 128 snapshots with the vault
- The vision for "External Hippocampus" (long-term AI memory via Obsidian)
Vault Configuration
| Setting | Value |
|---|
| Vault path | Configured per deployment via OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH env var |
| Naming convention | YYYY-MM-DD_<topic>.md for notes |
| Exclusion filters | .git/, node_modules/, .worktrees/ |
Integration Patterns
Session Notes → Vault
After Protocol 128 seal phase, key learnings can be exported as vault notes:
python plugins/obsidian-integration/obsidian-parser/parser.py <file>
Canvas for Architecture Diagrams
Use the obsidian-canvas-architect skill to generate visual architecture canvases from Sanctuary's protocol and workflow diagrams.
Graph Traversal for Knowledge Discovery
Use the obsidian-graph-traversal skill to find connections between learning snapshots, ADRs, and protocols in the vault.
