Use when Josh asks to write a note, make a note, or capture something for his "pickled-knowledge" Obsidian vault - triggers on "write a note about X", "make a note for this", "capture this", "note this up", "put together a note on X", or a bare URL/article/tweet handed over with intent to write it up. Do NOT use for generic writing help, drafting prose that isn't a vault note, or when Josh is just asking a question and not asking for a note.
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
# Vault Capture Turn a source (or a raw idea) into one Obsidian note file, already shaped for Josh's `pickled-knowledge` vault - correct filename, correct frontmatter, correct body shape, and a best-guess at where it'll eventually live. He should be able to save the file straight into his vault with no renaming, no reformatting, no hunting down the source URL after the fact. This is a chat-only rewrite of a more capable version that runs inside Claude Code (searches the vault first, checks for duplicates, auto-links related notes, appends a daily-note breadcrumb, actually files the note). None of that is reachable from here - no filesystem, no vault search index. Say so plainly once, up front, rather than quietly skipping it: > "Heads up: I can't search your vault from here, so I'm not checking for an existing note or > suggesting related links - worth a quick check yourself before you file this." ## Step 1: Get the real source - never invent one - **A URL was given:** fetch and read it for real (browse it). Never write the note from the URL text alone, a guess at what the page probably says, or general knowledge about the …

How to install
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/vault-capture@sha256:38c3236c08f04d6bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.f06ed91, 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.
