Use when adding/editing/querying content in an existing Obsidian vault, configuring plugins, integrating Claude Code with Obsidian via Local REST API or CLI, automating ongoing capture/organization/retrieval, designing a personal knowledge management workflow, OR building academic study vaults (course prep, exam-ready, mock-exam content — the durable academic-study patterns from a deprecated companion skill have been folded into this one).

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 Builder (general PKM, multi-vault aware)

Patterns for operating an Obsidian vault from Claude Code: capture pipelines, plugin selection, REST API integration, file-portability discipline, methodology choice. Multi-vault aware.

For academic study vault construction (course prep, lecture notes, mock exams, exam-ready content): the durable patterns from the deprecated `obsidian-study-vault-builder` skill have been folded into this skill. See `references/academic-vault.md`. The companion skill itself was removed via PR #6 and re-validated 2026-05-15 (over-triggered on exam-prep prompts; structurally misaligned with the interactive-practice approach in the exam-prep protocol, itself ablated 2026-08-28).

## When to use

- User asks to add/edit/query content in an Obsidian vault
- User asks to install or configure Obsidian plugins
- User wants to integrate Claude Code with Obsidian via Local REST API or CLI
- User wants to automate ongoing capture/organization/retrieval
- User wants to design a PKM workflow
- User asks to build a course/exam/study vault (see `references/academic-vault.md`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add belumume/claude-skills/obsidian-vault-builder@sha256:daacc0698d799344

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.2.0, 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.
