SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you interact with and organize a personal knowledge management vault by reading and writing notes, managing a Kanban board, and handling inbox items, all via a consistent path variable $MY_PKM_PATH.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vault access and navigation: Use the MY_PKM_PATH environment variable to locate and operate on vault folders like 0-inbox, 1-notes, and the my-kanban.md board.
  • Kanban task management: Read and update the board, add tasks with concise titles linked to detailed notes, and move items between columns while preserving wiki-links.
  • Note organization automation: Create and situate notes in 1-notes with topics and, when five+ notes share a topic, auto-organize into subdirectories.
  • Quick capture and linking: Quickly capture ideas to inbox and link them to notes for later refinement.

Quick Start

Use the skill to fetch and modify your PKM vault by exporting MY_PKM_PATH and interacting with 0-inbox, 1-notes, and my-kanban.md as described.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Obsidian vault organization with a Kanban board?▼

You can automate Obsidian vault organization by using a path-aware system that reads and writes notes, manages Kanban tasks, and navigates folders via the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable. It preserves wiki-links and frontmatter formatting.

How do I move tasks between Kanban columns without breaking wiki-links in my notes?▼

To move tasks between Kanban columns without breaking wiki-links, the system preserves all wiki-links and maintains the my-kanban.md frontmatter formatting while updating task positions across the board.

Can I auto-organize notes into subdirectories based on shared topics in a PKM vault?▼

Yes, you can auto-organize notes into subdirectories. When five or more notes share a common topic, the system automatically groups and situates them into subdirectories within your 1-notes folder.

Do I need to set an environment variable to manage my PKM inbox and vault structure?▼

Yes, you need to export and set the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable. The system enforces using this variable for all path navigation to locate vault folders like 0-inbox, 1-notes, and my-kanban.md, avoiding hard-coded paths.

What is the best way to quickly capture ideas to an inbox and link them to existing notes?▼

The best way to quickly capture ideas is to send them directly to the 0-inbox folder and then create wiki-links connecting those inbox items to existing notes in the 1-notes directory for later refinement.

Why does hard-coding paths break vault navigation when managing notes and Kanban tasks?▼

Hard-coding paths breaks vault navigation because the system enforces using the $MY_PKM_PATH environment variable for all file operations. This ensures consistent access to folders and preserves the Kanban board structure.
