Obsidian Life Coach

Use this skill when the user wants to save, review, or search life-coaching notes in an Obsidian vault.

Scope

Good fits:

• Daily check-in notes
• Evening reviews
• Weekly reviews
• Routine plans
• Reflection notes
• Pattern summaries

Not a fit:

• Medical diagnosis
• Therapy records requiring clinical handling
• Secret storage
• Raw credential/API key storage

Vault discovery

Prefer environment variables:

OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=/absolute/path/to/vault
LIFE_COACH_FOLDER=Life-Coaching

If OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH is unset, ask the user for the vault path before writing. Do not guess a private path in a public distribution.

Folder layout

Inside the vault, use:

${LIFE_COACH_FOLDER:-Life-Coaching}/
├── daily/
├── weekly/
├── monthly/
├── reflections/
└── routines/

Write policy

• For explicit user requests like "save this", write immediately after determining the target path.
• For scheduled check-ins, save only the synthesized note content, not raw private chat dumps.
• Do not store passwords, tokens, private keys, payment data, or OTPs.
• After writing, report the relative path and a 1-3 bullet summary.

Daily note template

Use templates/daily-checkin.md as the shape. Filename:

daily/YYYY-MM-DD-daily-checkin.md

Weekly note template

Use templates/weekly-review.md as the shape. Filename:

weekly/YYYY-Www-weekly-review.md

Search policy

When reviewing patterns:

1. Search only the life-coaching folder first.
2. Summarize patterns, do not dump private notes back into chat.
3. Distinguish observed pattern from interpretation.
4. End with one small experiment or next action.
