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 vault location, naming rules, and search workflows needed to find, create, and interconnect notes without breaking the vault's flat, link-based structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Note Search: Find notes by filename or content using find, grep, or Grep/Glob tools against the vault path. - Note Creation: Create new notes following Title Case naming, wikilink conventions, and index note organization. - Backlink Discovery: Locate all notes referencing a given [[wikilink]] to map relationships between topics. - Use Case: You want to capture a new concept about retrieval-augmented generation. The Skill creates RAG Chunking Strategies.md in Title Case, adds wikilinks to related notes, and links it from the RAG Index.md note. ## Quick Start Search my Obsidian vault for notes about vector databases and create a new index note linking them together.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-vault

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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 --include="*.md" to search note contents. Point the commands at the vault root path, such as /mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/.

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

Search the vault for the literal wikilink text using grep -rl "\[\[Note Title\]\]" against the vault directory. Every file containing that wikilink is a backlink to the note.

What naming convention should Obsidian notes use?▼

This vault uses Title Case for all note filenames and keeps a flat structure with no folders. Organization happens through wikilinks and index notes that aggregate related topics.

Can I organize Obsidian notes with folders instead of links?▼

This vault deliberately avoids folders and relies on wikilinks plus index notes for organization. Index notes are plain lists of wikilinks that group related topics like RAG or Skills.

What are index notes in an Obsidian vault?▼

Index notes aggregate related topics as lists of wikilinks, such as RAG Index.md or Skills Index.md. Find them by searching the vault for filenames containing the word Index.
