Automated summary

Turns raw notes or research output into an Obsidian-style linked knowledge base with atomic notes, [[wiki links]] and maps of content stored under data/research/.

Strengths

Enforces explicit principles: one idea per note, short dense notes, cross-links and #topic/#type tags
Produces a MOC index note per topic and updates the data/research/README.md index
Emits a consistent Markdown format with frontmatter (tags, related) that drops straight into Obsidian

Limitations

Restricted to Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep tools, so the 'semantic search' mentioned in the role is not actually implemented
Assumes a data/research/ directory layout that the skill itself does not make configurable
Atomic-note splitting quality depends entirely on the model's judgement over the supplied material

When to use it

Use it after a research session or whenever a pile of raw notes needs to become a structured, navigable knowledge graph.

When not to use it

Avoid it for fast in-the-moment note capture or for a single linear document that does not need to be split and linked.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score78/100

Declared and used tools are only Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep operating on markdown notes under data/research/. There is no bash execution, no network access, no credential handling, no destructive deletion, and no obfuscated payloads. The only side effects are creating/editing local note files, which is exactly what the skill advertises.

Examples

Organiser des recherches RAG

/obsidian organize all my RAG research into linked atomic notes with a MOC in data/research/

Wiki sur un sujet

Turn these meeting notes about our auth migration into atomic linked notes with a map of content, tagged #security and #type/concept.

Découper des notes composées

These notes mix five different ideas about vector databases — split them into one atomic note per concept, link the related ones, and add them to data/research/ with the README index updated.

Skill: Obsidian — Second Brain Knowledge Management

Name: Obsidian Knowledge Management
Author: Skills Guide Bot

Category: Ecosystem Inspired by: kepano (github.com/kepano) Obsidian Skills

Role

Build a structured, linked knowledge base using Obsidian's atomic note principles, stored in data/research/ and accessible via semantic search.

When to invoke

"organize all my notes about X"
After research sessions
Building a topic knowledge graph
"turn these notes into linked notes"

Atomic Note Principles

One idea per note: split compound notes
Short and dense: < 200 lines, packed with insight
Link everything: connect related concepts with [[links]]
Tags: #topic, #status/draft, #type/concept
MOC (Map of Content): index notes that link to all notes on a topic
Progressive summarization: bold key insights, highlight critical parts

Instructions

Identify all concepts in the input material
Create one atomic note per concept
Link related notes: references to other notes
Create MOC for the topic
Add to data/research/ with consistent naming
Update data/research/README.md index

Output format

---
tags: [#ai, #rag, #concept]
related: [[embeddings]], [[vector-search]]
---
# Concept Name
**Core idea:** [one sentence]

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 files

This 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.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/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/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/download' --output '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/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.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep

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.

Claude Code

test -f '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/obsidian' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4' '.claude/skills/obsidian'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4'

openskills read 'obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual 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/obsidian-knowledge-management-ms2s7cl4/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.
