# obsidian-project-kb-core This skill manages a project-scoped Obsidian research vault: it builds the structure, routes notes, and keeps indexes, the registry, and checks up to date. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 323 installs · ★ 5906 - Author: Galaxy-Dawn - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar/tree/HEAD/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-19 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core ## What it does The skill binds the current repository to `Research/{project-slug}/` and bootstraps a project vault with `00-Hub.md`, `01-Plan.md`, `02-Index.md`, plus `Sources/`, `Knowledge/`, `Experiments/`, `Results/Reports/`, `Writing/`, `Daily/`, `Maps/`, `Archive/`, and `_system/`. Notes are routed into these areas, while durable project knowledge stays under the project root. It maintains the hub, plan, index, and `_system/registry.md`. It also handles note lifecycle actions such as creating, updating, renaming, archiving, purging, promoting, and repairing links. Scripts in `scripts/` cover scaffolding, registry consistency, link checks, index checks, canvas checks, and lint aggregation. Agents handle note routing and semantic decisions for daily entries, sources, and stable results. The repository must bind to the project root because `.claude/project-memory/*` is used only as the runtime binding layer. Check where the working notes live before running the skill. ## Requirements - Works with: Obsidian ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill obsidian-project-kb-core -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill obsidian-project-kb-core -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill obsidian-project-kb-core -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar obsidian-project-kb-core ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill obsidian-project-kb-core -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --path skills/obsidian-project-kb-core ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill obsidian-project-kb-core -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar/tree/HEAD/skills/obsidian-project-kb-core/SKILL.md ## When to use it - bootstrap an Obsidian research project - route notes into the project sections - maintain the hub, plan, and index - keep the note registry consistent - run link and structure checks ## Example prompts - Bind the current repository to `Research/{project-slug}/` and bootstrap the project skeleton. - Route these notes into `Sources/`, `Knowledge/`, `Experiments/`, and `Writing/`, then update `02-Index.md`. - Run the registry, link, index, and canvas checks from `scripts/`, then aggregate the lint report. ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE b2fddbe123308225 ````text --- name: obsidian-project-kb-core description: Use this as the main Claude Scholar skill for a vault-first, project-scoped Obsidian research knowledge base rooted at Research/{project-slug}/. It owns bootstrap, routing, daily logging, hub/plan/index maintenance, registry updates, lifecycle actions, and lint orchestration. --- # Obsidian Project KB Core This is the **main workflow authority** for project-scoped Obsidian knowledge maintenance. Default project root: ```text Research/{project-slug}/ ``` Default structure: ```text 00-Hub.md 01-Plan.md 02-Index.md Sources/ Knowledge/ Experiments/ Results/ Reports/ Writing/ Daily/ Maps/ Archive/ _system/ ``` ## Core rules - Keep all durable project knowledge inside the current `Research/{project-slug}/`. - Keep repo-local `.claude/project-memory/*` only as the runtime binding layer. - `_system/registry.md` is the only visible project registry. - `02-Index.md` is a human navigation note, not a registry mirror. - `Maps/` is a derived-artifact area; do not generate non-essential canvases by default. - `Results/Reports/` is the default subdirectory for round and batch experiment reports. ## Responsibilities - detect and bind the current repo to a project root - bootstrap the project skeleton - route notes into `Sources / Knowledge / Experiments / Results / Results/Reports / Writing / Daily / Maps / Archive` - update `00-Hub.md`, `01-Plan.md`, `02-Index.md` - update `_system/registry.md`, `_system/schema.md`, `_system/lint-report.md` - handle note lifecycle actions: create, update, rename, archive, purge, promote, and link repair - run deterministic health checks through helper scripts ## Deterministic helpers Use the scripts under `scripts/` for: - scaffold - registry consistency - link checks - index checks - canvas checks - lint aggregation Use agents for: - note routing - daily promotion decisions - source vs knowledge judgment - stable-result judgment - semantic Hub and Index updates ## Read next - `references/DIRECTORY-SCHEMA.md` - `references/HUB-PLAN-INDEX.md` - `references/REGISTRY.md` - `references/DAILY-PROMOTION.md` - `references/LIFECYCLE.md` - `references/LINT.md` - `references/BINDING-LAYER.md` ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE b2fddbe123308225 The third-party file has ended.
