process-vault-frontmatters

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of ensuring all Markdown notes in an Obsidian vault have consistent and useful YAML frontmatter, preventing redundant processing and improving discoverability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automatic Frontmatter Generation: Creates YAML frontmatter if it doesn't exist.
• Metadata Standardization: Ensures title (from filename) and summary (from first useful paragraph) fields are populated.
• Processing Timestamp: Adds or updates a processedAt timestamp to track when a note was last processed.
• Deduplication Logic: Skips reprocessing notes that haven't been modified since their last processedAt timestamp and already have title and summary.
• Use Case: Keep your Obsidian vault organized and searchable by automatically adding essential metadata to new and existing notes, ensuring consistency across your knowledge base.
