Capture ideas and notes into the personal Obsidian PARA vault (markdown on disk). Use notesmd-cli when installed, else write files. Activates when the user says 'add an idea', 'capture this', 'vault note', 'inbox this', 'log this in Obsidian', 'keep track of this idea', or asks to file something in PARA. Not for the engineering journal (vd:journal) or Structured.app tasks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Obsidian Vault

The vault is a git folder of Markdown. Agents edit files. Do not drive the Obsidian GUI unless the user asks to open a note.

## Resolve the vault

```text
$OBSIDIAN_VAULT
else $HOME/git/personal/vault
```

Verify `AGENTS.md` exists at that root. If missing, stop and ask.

## Hard rules

1. **Filesystem first.** Create/update `.md` files. `notesmd-cli` is optional sugar. Official `obsidian` CLI needs the app running and is only for `open`.
2. **Inbox, then promote.** New capture goes in `0 Inbox/` (ideas: `0 Inbox/Ideas.md`). Do not invent top-level folders. Which bucket an item belongs in follows `vd:para`.
3. **Append, do not rewrite.** Newest bullet first under `## Open`. Never delete an idea; move it to `## Promoted` when it becomes a project note.
4. **Android-safe names.** No `" * : < > ? \ |` in filenames. Spaces are fine.
5. **Do not commit plugin dirs.** `.obsidian/`, `.makemd/`, `.space/`, `.trash/` stay local.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/obsidian-vault@sha256:9e7037878f9a2668

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
