Automated summary
This skill files notes sitting in the Inbox into their proper folders based on the `Category` property in each note's frontmatter.
Strengths
- Follows an explicit, easy-to-check category-to-folder mapping table
- Asks the user to confirm when a category is missing or unrecognised
- Handles notes with multiple categories by requesting a priority folder
- Simple four-step workflow that is easy to follow and audit
Limitations
- Assumes a specific Obsidian folder tree and category names (Atoms, Ideas, Reference/...)
- Does not cover filename collisions or updating links after a move
- Actual file moves rely on the agent's own capabilities; no dedicated tooling is provided
Use it when you want to quickly clear an Obsidian Inbox by sorting notes according to their frontmatter category.
Avoid it if your vault uses a different folder or category convention, or if notes lack populated frontmatter.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only describes filing notes from an Inbox into folders based on a frontmatter category. There are no shell commands, network calls, credential handling, or destructive operations, and it explicitly requires user confirmation for ambiguous or missing categories. Risk is limited to ordinary file moves within the user's note vault.

| [[Ideas]] | Ideas/ |
| [[Books]] | Reference/Books/ |
| [[Meetings]] | Reference/Meetings/ |
| [[Organizations]] | Reference/Organizations/ |

- If a note has multiple categories, ask the user which folder takes priority
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/download' --output '.skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/inbox-note-organizer-mm5t8bsi/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
