| description | This skill should be used when the user asks to "define a term", "add a definition", "replace `define-later`", "define this note", or mentions defining terms in Obsidian notes. Replaces the `#define-later` tag with a concise definition derived from the note title. |
Define Term
Define a term by replacing the #define-later tag with a short, plain-language definition. The term to define is taken from the note's title. No other part of the note is modified.
Workflow
- Find the note — Search the vault using Grep or Glob to locate the note by title.
- Read the full content — Load the note to understand any existing context.
- Replace
#define-later — Swap the tag with the definition described below.
Definition Format
Replace #define-later with 1-2 sentences (aim for under 40 words) that:
- Lead with what the term is or does — no preamble
- Prefer one crisp sentence over two weaker ones
- Skip history, attribution, and tangential applications unless they are the point
- Use Obsidian
[[wiki links]] for related concepts already in the vault, and **==bold highlight==** for the core insight
Do not add headings, bullet points, or any other structural elements — just the definition text.
Constraints
- Do not modify any other part of the note — no frontmatter changes, no restructuring existing content.
- Only replace the
#define-later tag. If the tag is not found, report that to the user rather than guessing where to insert.
