Vault Query: Search the Knowledge Base

Search the Obsidian vault for notes relevant to a topic and synthesize the findings.

Behavior

1. Take the user's query from the argument
2. Search the vault using mcp__obsidian__search_notes with searchContent: true and a reasonable limit (5-10 results)
3. Read the top results using mcp__obsidian__read_note or mcp__obsidian__read_multiple_notes (batch, max 10) to get full content
4. Synthesize findings:
   • Group results by vault section (Work/Knowledge, Personal/Projects, Daily, etc.)
   • Summarize the relevant content from each note
   • Use [[Note Name]] wiki-links for all referenced notes
   • Highlight connections between notes if any exist
   • Apply the ghostwriter skill for tone

Output Format

### Vault: [query]

Found X relevant notes.

**[[Note Title]]** (Work/Knowledge/)
Brief summary of the relevant content from this note.

**[[Note Title]]** (Personal/Projects/)
Brief summary of the relevant content from this note.

**Connections:**
- [[Note A]] references the same pattern discussed in [[Note B]]

If no results are found, say so and suggest alternative search terms or vault sections the user might check manually.

Notes

• Do not dump raw note content. Summarize what's relevant to the query.
• If a note is very long, focus on the sections most relevant to the query
• Include the vault directory path for each result so the user knows where it lives
• Keep the synthesis concise. The goal is to surface relevant context, not reproduce the vault
