name: obsidian-helper description: Obsidian home-base skill: create/edit Obsidian Markdown (.md), Bases (.base), and Canvas (.canvas), and organize an Obsidian vault using a default folder structure.

Obsidian Helper (Router + Safety Contract)

This is a single, top-level Obsidian skill. It routes format-specific work to the right reference and applies vault organization conventions.

Routing (What to Read)

• Editing or generating Obsidian notes (.md): read references/obsidian-markdown.md.
• Editing or generating Obsidian Bases (.base): read references/obsidian-bases.md.
• Editing or generating Obsidian Canvas (.canvas): read references/obsidian-canvas.md.
• Organizing/refactoring a vault (move/rename/frontmatter/link fixes): read references/vault-organizer.md and the default structure references/vault-structure.md.

Global Safety Contract (Always)

• Never perform irreversible deletion.
• Default scan excludes 99_Plugconfig/.
• If uncertain about classification, keep notes in 00_Inbox/.

Default Organizer Behavior

When the user requests to “organize / tidy / restructure / batch-fix” an Obsidian vault:

• Default structure: (references/vault-structure.md).
• Prefer minimal-change operations: move/rename only when needed.
• Do not rewrite .canvas / .base file contents during organizer operations (move/rename is ok). Only edit their contents when explicitly requested.

Trigger Phrases / Intents (Examples)

Use this skill when the user mentions:

• Creating/editing Obsidian notes, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, frontmatter
• Creating/editing .base views, filters, formulas, summaries
• Creating/editing .canvas diagrams, mind maps, boards
• Organizing an Obsidian vault: classification, moving notes, normalizing frontmatter, fixing links
