Notes
Creates and manages Obsidian notes using the Obsidian MCP for structured documentation.
Triggers
- Project note ("create project", "new project note", "document project") → project.md
- Challenge note ("technical challenge", "take-home", "coding interview", "system design") → challenge.md
- Brag entry ("brag document", "achievement", "accomplishment") → brag.md
- Transcription ("transcription", "meeting notes", "1:1 notes", "feedback notes", "standup notes", "lecture notes", "course notes") → transcription.md
- Company tracking ("company note", "track interview", "job application") → company.md
mapping.md is loaded by the note-creation refs to resolve vault paths; not a direct trigger.
Workflow
resolve-vault → select-type → compose-note → write → link-related
Each note type has its own workflow. Use any type independently.
Filename Sanitization
When generating filenames from user input:
- Remove characters the OS rejects or Obsidian links break on:
/ \ : * ? " < > | # ^ [ ] %
- Preserve accented characters — Obsidian imposes no charset limit beyond the filesystem's
- Use Title Case for all filenames
- Example:
What's Next? becomes Whats Next.md
Guidelines
- Ask one question at a time when gathering context from the user
- Refresh
updated in the frontmatter whenever an existing note is patched
Anti-Pattern: Orphan Wikilinks
Creating [[Some Note]] to a file that does not exist makes Obsidian generate an empty file at the vault root. Always run Obsidian:search_notes before linking to verify the target exists. If the target is missing, either create it first or omit the link.
Anti-Pattern: Template-Driven Updates
Templates apply to new notes only. When updating an existing note, read it first with Obsidian:read_note, then patch with Obsidian:patch_note. Re-applying a template overwrites prior content and loses history.
