Vault MOC
Generate a categorized Map of Content that organizes vault project folders into thematic groups with wikilinks.
Workflow
Determine scope. Ask the user if they want:
- Full vault MOC — indexes all ~312 project folders by category
- Focused MOC — a specific theme (e.g., "all agent team projects", "browser automation", "skills and plugins")
Get the folder list:
obsidian foldersThis returns all folder paths. Filter to root-level folders only (no
/in path after vault root).For a focused MOC, also search for relevant folders:
obsidian search query="<theme keyword>" limit=30Categorize folders by prefix and keyword patterns:
Category Pattern Agent Teams & Orchestration *agent_team*,*agent_swarm*,*parallel_agent*,*council*Skills & Prompts *skill*,*prompt*,cc_skills*,*slash*Browser Automation *browser*,*playwright*,*chrome*,*cdp*MCP Servers *mcp*,*tool_search*Loops & Scheduled Tasks *loop*,*scheduled*,*cron*Obsidian Integration *obsidian*Web Projects & Design *web*,*design*,*pencil*,*figma*Research & Autoresearch autoresearch_*Plugins & Extensions *plugin*,*extension*Other / Misc Everything else Sample descriptions for folders (read first 5 lines of README.md or gemini3_summary.txt):
- For full MOC: sample the top 2-3 folders per category to write category descriptions
- For focused MOC: read descriptions for all folders in scope
Compose the MOC note using the
Writetool:--- description: Map of Content — <scope> title: MOC — <Scope> date: YYYY-MM-DD source: vault-moc --- # MOC — <Scope> > Index of <n> project folders. Generated <date>. ## Stats - **Total folders:** <n> - **Categories:** <n> ## Category Name > Brief description of what's in this category. - [[folder_name/README|Display Name]] — one-line description - [[folder_name/gemini3_summary|Display Name]] — one-line description ... ## Another Category ... ## Uncategorized Folders that don't fit the above categories. - [[folder_name/README]] ...Write the file:
Write tool → <vault-root>/MOC — <Scope>.mdUse
MOC — Vault Index.mdfor a full vault MOC.Report the categories created, folder count, and file path.
Tips
- For the full vault MOC, don't try to read every folder's README — categorize by name pattern first, then sample a few per category for descriptions
- Use
[[folder/README|Friendly Name]]display text to make the MOC readable (strip underscores, title-case the display name) __IMPORTANTfolders deserve a dedicated ⭐ Highlights section at the top- A focused MOC (e.g., "Skills") is more immediately useful than a full vault index — suggest this for first use
