About this skill

What it does

Arrowhead provides fast search and discovery capabilities within Obsidian vaults, acting as a knowledge assistant for both humans and AI agents. It continuously indexes your vault’s content (markdown files and assets) creating full-text, semantic vectors, and graph analytics. This allows for efficient exploration of notes through the command line interface (CLI) or a Claude-ready MCP (Message Channel Protocol) interface.

When to use it

  • Complex Research: Quickly surface relevant information from a large Obsidian vault when conducting research projects.
  • AI Agent Integration: Enable AI agents like Claude to access and reason about your notes for tasks such as summarization or question answering.
  • Note Exploration: Discover connections between notes that might not be immediately obvious through manual browsing.
  • Workflow Automation: Automate note creation, updates, and discovery using the CLI tools.

Key capabilities

  • Background daemon with live filesystem watching
  • Vault-aware indexing respecting .obsidian settings
  • Full-text, semantic, and hybrid search with snippet generation
  • Notes CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations via CLI
  • HTTP MCP transport for remote agent access
  • Semantic embeddings using fastembed stored in sqlite-vec

Example prompts

  • "Find all notes related to 'Project Phoenix' using semantic search."
  • "Show me the graph connections between notes tagged with 'meeting'."
  • "Create a new note titled 'Q3 Planning' and add it to the 'projects' folder."

Tips & gotchas

Arrowhead respects your existing Obsidian .obsidian settings, so ensure these are configured correctly for optimal indexing. The daemon requires system-level privileges (launchd on macOS, systemd --user on Linux) for continuous vault monitoring.
