Obsidian Bases

What it does

This skill, freestylefly-obsidian-bases, provides foundational capabilities for AI agents interacting with Obsidian vaults. It allows agents to read and write notes, manage files within the vault structure, and generally operate as if they were a user directly manipulating an Obsidian environment. This enables automated workflows like note creation, information extraction, and knowledge base maintenance.

When to use it

• Automated Note Taking: Automatically create new notes based on data from external sources (e.g., web pages, APIs).
• Knowledge Base Maintenance: Regularly update existing notes with new information or restructure the vault's organization.
• Research Assistance: Have an agent synthesize information from multiple Obsidian notes into a concise summary.
• File Management: Automatically move files between folders within your Obsidian vault based on content or metadata.

Key capabilities

• Read and write to Obsidian note files (Markdown).
• Manage file structure within the Obsidian vault.
• Interact with existing Obsidian vaults.

Example prompts

• "Create a new note titled 'Meeting Notes - 2024-10-27' and add the following text: [paste meeting notes here]"
• "Move the file 'Project Proposal.md' from the 'Drafts' folder to the 'Projects/Marketing' folder."
• “Summarize all notes in the ‘Books’ folder.”

Tips & gotchas

• Requires access to an Obsidian vault and appropriate permissions for read/write operations.
• The agent will need context about the structure of your Obsidian vault (folder names, note titles) to operate effectively.
