name	semantic-search
description	Semantic search over Obsidian Zettelkasten notes. Use when the user asks "What do I know about X?", "Find notes about...", or wants to search their knowledge base by meaning rather than exact keywords.
version	0.1.0

Semantic Search

Search your Obsidian Zettelkasten using semantic similarity (vector embeddings).

Commands

• /index-notes — Re-index all vault notes into LanceDB
• /search-notes <query> — Search notes by meaning

How It Works

Notes are embedded with all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (local, no API calls) and stored in LanceDB (embedded, serverless, stored in vault .lancedb/).

When to Use

• User asks "what do I know about X?"
• User wants to find related notes on a topic
• User asks to search their knowledge base

Implementation

When this skill is invoked:

1. Run the search command with appropriate env vars: uv run --project ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} ss-search "<query>"
2. Parse JSON results
3. Read top 2-3 matching notes using Obsidian MCP tools
4. Summarize findings for the user
