Obsidian Notes — Understanding the Vault
Provides context about how the user's Obsidian vault is organized so the LLM can work with notes effectively — finding, reading, creating, and placing notes in the right location.
Locating the Vault
Determine the vault directory in this order:
- If already known from memory or conversation context, use that path.
- Try
obsidian vault info=path(requires theobsidianCLI). - If the path is unknown, ask the user for the vault directory path.
Reading Vault Guides
Before working with notes, read the vault organization guide from Vault Organization.md - Resources/Frontmatter Conventions.md.
These are the single source of truth for folder structure, placement rules, decision logic, frontmatter conventions, and metadata rules per note type.
Always read them before creating or organizing notes.
If you have QMD command available use it to query or search notes.
