Write a durable note into the user's Obsidian vault, in the vault's own style. Use when the user says "make a note", "add that to my notes", "upload to Obsidian", or "save this to the vault", or when a study, investigation, or meeting finishes and the user wants it kept. Finds the vault, copies the layout of the neighbouring notes, links only notes that exist, ties every number to its source, and reads the file back. Not for Google Docs, artifacts, or docs that belong in a repo.
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 A vault is a folder of Markdown files, marked by a hidden `.obsidian` folder. Writing a note is writing one `.md` file. No app, plugin, or sync step is involved, so the skill can only prove that the file exists, never that Obsidian shows it. ## Steps 1. **Find the vault.** Run `find "$HOME" -maxdepth 5 -name .obsidian -type d -not -path "*/Library/*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*"`. The vault is the parent of the match. One match: use it. Several: ask which. None: stop and say so. Never create a vault. Save the vault path to memory so the next run skips this step. 2. **Fix the scope before writing.** If "that" could mean the last finding or the whole piece of work, ask once. A note on the wrong scope costs a rewrite. 3. **Copy the neighbours.** List the vault root and the five newest notes. Read one whole note. Reuse its frontmatter keys, title shape, section order, and wording. Do not add keys the neighbours lack. 4. **Name the file** in the neighbours' pattern. When the vault has no pattern, use `<Topic> MM-DD.md` at the vault root. If the name exists, do not overwrite: pick a new name or append a dated section. …

How to install
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/obsidian-vault@sha256:def37156ac86850aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.2b3948b, 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.
