Obsidian Vault Operations Skill

Core operations for reading, writing, and managing files in an Obsidian vault.

Vault Structure

vault-root/
├── CLAUDE.md           # Main context (always read first)
├── Daily Notes/        # YYYY-MM-DD.md format
├── Goals/              # Goal cascade files
├── Projects/           # Project folders with CLAUDE.md
├── Templates/          # Reusable note structures
└── Archives/           # Completed/inactive content

File Operations

Reading Notes

• Use Glob to find files: *.md, Daily Notes/*.md
• Read CLAUDE.md first for vault context
• Check for wiki-links to related notes

Creating Notes

1. Check if note already exists
2. Use appropriate template if available
3. Add YAML frontmatter with date and tags
4. Insert wiki-links to related notes

Editing Notes

• Preserve YAML frontmatter structure
• Maintain existing wiki-links
• Use consistent heading hierarchy
• Apply standard tag format
