Offload an Obsidian hub note that too many notes link to (an in-degree tangle). The main signal of a tangle is a high in-degree (tens to hundreds of incoming links); out-degree is secondary. The skill creates sub-MOCs under the hub's existing categories and **redirects incoming links from resource notes** to the specific sub-MOC instead of the general one. The original MOC is kept as an entry point — it can still be linked to when the category is unclear. Use this skill whenever the user says…
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-untangle-knot ## Core idea In a personal knowledge base, dozens or hundreds of notes end up linking to the same MOCs — that's natural: when you add an article, a book, or a new idea, it's easier to link to the general `[[DevOps]]` than to hunt for the specific sub-map. Over time the general MOC turns from a map into a backlink dump: you open it and drown in noise. Out-links on a hub grow slowly (it's still a **map**, deliberately maintained). In-links grow spontaneously and fast. So the main signal of a tangle is **high in-degree**, not out-degree. The skill: 1. Finds/accepts a hub and counts its in/out links 2. Relies on the hub's **already-existing structure** (subheadings, explicit categories) as ready-made landing points — it doesn't invent new categories when none were asked for 3. Creates a sub-MOC for each category 4. **Main action:** goes through incoming links from resource notes and switches them from the general MOC to the appropriate sub-MOC 5. The original MOC **stays** — it remains the right entry point for the "don't know exactly where to link" case ``` before: after: …

How to install
mdr add alexeyshishin/as-skill/obsidian-untangle-knot@sha256:c2b40b6cead6f08eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.f8f7706, 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.
