How to promote loose notes in the operator's Obsidian vault (content-md/lossless) into their proper typed folders with standard frontmatter — back up, classify, merge duplicates, verify the URL, OG-fetch, tag, move, and repair wikilinks. Use whenever the user points at a note sitting at the vault root "waiting for metadata love", asks to "tag it and move it to the right folder", "run OG fetch", "clean up the root", "these VCs are in the root", or whenever an agent is about to create a note and…
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 Hygiene > **Status: draft (2026-10-14).** Written from one run: 74 venture-firm notes promoted from > the vault root into `vertical-toolkits/Venture-Capital-Firms/` (68 moved, 6 merged, all > 126 inbound links still resolving). Generalize carefully as more note types go through it. ## The layout you're working in - The vault is `/Users/mpstaton/content-md/lossless`. Most top-level folders (`Sources`, `vertical-toolkits`, `organizations`, `concepts`, `moc`, …) are **symlinks** into the git-tracked `lossless-monorepo/content/`. - The **vault root itself is not under git.** Loose root notes have no history. A bad edit or move there can't be undone, so back up first. - Wikilinks use **vault paths**: `Sources/…` (capital S) even though the repo folder is `content/sources/`. - Clicking a bare `[[Name]]` that resolves to nothing makes Obsidian create an **empty note at the root**. Many root files are 0-byte stubs created that way. ## Procedure 1. **Back up.** `cp -p` every root `.md` you might touch (simplest: all of them) into `/Users/mpstaton/content-md/_backups/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<task>/`. Check the count matches. …

How to install
mdr add lossless-group/lossless-agent-skills/obsidian-vault-hygiene@sha256:3eb3844ac11c5d5eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.a7b7b56, 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.
