SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing a personal knowledge base in Obsidian requires consistent naming, linking, and discovery conventions. This Skill provides the exact vault location, naming rules, and search workflows so notes stay organized and interconnected without manual guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Search: Find notes by filename or full-text content using find and grep commands against the vault directory. - Note Creation: Create new notes following Title Case naming, wikilink conventions, and index note patterns. - Backlink Discovery: Locate all notes referencing a given [[wikilink]] to map relationships between topics. - Use Case: You want to add a new research note about retrieval-augmented generation. The Skill creates RAG Techniques.md in Title Case, links it to [[RAG Index]], and finds related existing notes via backlink search. ## Quick Start Search my Obsidian vault for notes about vector databases and create a new index note linking them together.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search notes in an Obsidian vault from the command line?▼

Use find with grep to search by filename, or grep -rl with a keyword to search note content across all Markdown files. Both commands run directly against the vault directory path.

How do I find backlinks to a note in Obsidian?▼

Search the vault for the literal wikilink text using grep -rl with the escaped pattern \[\[Note Title\]\]. This returns every note that references the target note.

What naming convention should Obsidian notes use?▼

This vault uses Title Case for all note filenames and keeps a flat structure at the root level. Organization happens through wikilinks and index notes rather than folders.

Can I organize Obsidian notes without folders?▼

Yes, this vault uses a flat structure where index notes aggregate related topics as lists of wikilinks. Notes link to dependencies and related topics at the bottom of each file.

What are index notes in Obsidian?▼

Index notes are aggregator notes that list wikilinks to related topics, such as a Skills Index or RAG Index. Find them by searching the vault for files containing Index in the filename.
