SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Capturing useful information gathered during a conversation (web research, meeting discussions, API results) into a structured Obsidian vault normally requires manual note creation, classification, and formatting. This Skill turns that conversation context into properly classified PARA notes without going through an inbox pipeline. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interactive classification: Determines whether content should become a resource or meeting note using a decision tree, asking one question at a time. - Vault-aware creation: Loads existing areas and projects first, then links new notes to real vault structure with validated frontmatter fields. - Content injection: Populates Layer 1 captured notes for resources or structured sections (Notes, Decisions, Action Items, Follow-up) for meetings, then commits to the vault. - Use Case: After researching TypeScript generics in a conversation, invoke the skill to create a resource note with summary, source format, area link, and injected Layer 1 content, committed automatically. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to capture the article we just discussed as a resource note in my vault using create-from-context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an Obsidian note from conversation context?▼

Invoke the skill with an optional title hint, and it loads your vault's areas and projects, classifies the content as a resource or meeting, gathers details one question at a time, then creates and commits the note after your approval.

What is the difference between a resource note and a meeting note in PARA?▼

Resource notes capture knowledge to learn from, such as articles, videos, or references, with Layer 1 captured content. Meeting notes record discussions with attendees, decisions, action items, and follow-up sections.

When should I use create-from-context instead of inbox triage?▼

Use create-from-context when rich information already exists in the current conversation and you want to capture it directly. Use triage when processing existing inbox source files, and use create-project or create-area for those note types.

Does the skill create notes without confirmation?▼

No. It always presents a full note proposal including title, type, area, summary, and content preview before executing. Creation only proceeds after you explicitly approve the proposal.

What happens if note creation or commit fails?▼

The skill preserves all gathered data and offers a retry if creation fails. If content injection fails, the note still exists and you can add content manually; commit failures prompt you to resolve existing uncommitted changes first.
