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

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive video notes to Obsidian with an auto-index?▼

Archiving video notes to Obsidian requires frontmatter-enabled markdown produced by a prior translation workflow; this skill then stores the file in Clippings-Videos and updates Index.md to maintain a centralized course index.

How do I update the Obsidian Index.md automatically when saving markdown notes?▼

To update Index.md automatically, run the formatter script with your video directory and course name; it copies the markdown file to Clippings-Videos and appends the new course entry to the central index.

Do I need frontmatter in my markdown files to use this Obsidian note archiving workflow?▼

Yes, your markdown files must include frontmatter. The archiving workflow requires frontmatter-enabled markdown produced by a prior translation step before it can store the notes in the Obsidian vault.

Can I use this skill to index video transcripts and translations in Obsidian?▼

Yes, you can index video transcripts and translations by archiving the generated markdown into a Clippings-Videos course folder, which simultaneously updates the linked Index.md for centralized retrieval.

What is the best way to organize translated video transcripts in an Obsidian vault?▼

Organizing translated video transcripts in an Obsidian vault is best handled by archiving them into a Clippings-Videos course directory structure while maintaining a linked Index.md for centralized navigation and retrieval.

Why does my video note archiving workflow fail to update the Obsidian index?▼

Video note archiving may fail to update the Obsidian index if the preconditions are unmet; the translator must first produce frontmatter-enabled markdown before the formatter script can copy the file and update Index.md.
