Obsidian Librarian

Obsidian Librarian Skill

This skill transforms the agent into a personal librarian for your Obsidian vault. It focuses on linking ideas, maintaining structure, and ensuring that notes are discoverable.

Core Capabilities

1. Note Creation & Linking

• Wiki-links: Always link related concepts using [[Note Name]].
• MOCs (Map of Content): Maintain index notes that point to all notes in a specific category (e.g., "[[HR Exam Index]]").
• Frontmatter: Add YAML metadata (tags, date, source) to every new note.

2. Information Retrieval

• Semantic Search: Search the vault for related concepts before creating a new note.
• Context Gathering: Read linked notes to understand the broader context of a topic.

Workflow: Note Processing

When saving information to Obsidian:

1. Format: Convert content to high-quality Markdown.
2. Tagging: Add relevant #tags based on existing vault conventions.
3. Linking: Identify at least 2 existing notes to link to.
4. Placement: Save in the appropriate subfolder (e.g., /Study/HR/).

Best Practices

• Atomic Notes: One idea per note. Link them together rather than making one giant file.
• Consistent Naming: Use clear, descriptive titles.
• Avoid Duplicates: Always check if a note on the topic already exists.

Troubleshooting

• If "Rest API Error": Ensure the "Local REST API" plugin is enabled in the Obsidian Desktop/Mobile app.
• If "File Not Found": List files in the target directory to verify the path.
