Skills your agent loads exactly when the job calls for one.
Each skill is a small, documented playbook — a specific job with a clear trigger. Every description below comes straight from the canonical SKILL.md in its plugin repo; this page just formats them.
/knowledge
Knowledge & synthesis
Answer questions from the vault, connect ideas, and digest sources — grounded and cited.
- vault-synthesisclaude-obsidian
- Use when answering "what do I know about X", synthesizing across many notes, producing a grounded topic summary, or building a literature/research digest from an Obsidian vault.
- connection-finderclaude-obsidian
- Use when looking for non-obvious connections between notes, surfacing related-but-unlinked notes, or finding serendipitous links across an Obsidian vault.
- source-digestclaude-obsidian
- Use when digesting research sources or papers, extracting claims from notes tagged as sources, or building an evidence or comparison table from reference notes.
- research-workbenchclaude-obsidian
- Use when framing a serious research project, capturing sources and evidence, building supported claims, auditing provenance, or producing an evidence-backed outline.
/hygiene
Vault hygiene
Keep tags, links, structure, and metadata consistent as the vault grows.
- consistent-taggingclaude-obsidian
- Use when tagging notes, applying tags to new or untagged notes, or cleaning up tag sprawl and inconsistency in an Obsidian vault.
- wikilink-weaverclaude-obsidian
- Use when connecting notes, finding missing links between notes, surfacing orphan notes, or strengthening the link graph in an Obsidian vault.
- moc-builderclaude-obsidian
- Use when building or refreshing a Map of Content (MOC), creating an index or hub note for a topic or folder, or organizing related notes under one navigational note.
- frontmatter-normalizerclaude-obsidian
- Use when enforcing a consistent frontmatter schema across notes, auditing or normalizing note metadata, or fixing inconsistent frontmatter fields in a folder.
- note-splitterclaude-obsidian
- Use when a note covers too many topics and should be split into atomic notes, breaking up a bloated note, or extracting sections into their own linked notes.
- dedup-mergeclaude-obsidian
- Use when finding and merging duplicate or near-duplicate notes, consolidating notes that cover the same thing, or cleaning up redundant notes in an Obsidian vault.
/writing
Writing
Turn outlines, captures, and recent activity into finished, linked notes.
- outline-to-draftclaude-obsidian
- Use when expanding an outline or stub note into a full draft, fleshing bullet points into prose, or drafting longer-form writing grounded in vault context and the user's voice.
- daily-rollupclaude-obsidian
- Use when summarizing recent or daily notes, creating a weekly or periodic review, or pulling decisions and open tasks out of recent vault activity.
- session-to-noteclaude-obsidian
- Use when distilling or saving a Claude session into the Obsidian vault, capturing what was decided or learned in a session, or turning session memory into a persistent, linked knowledge note.
- meeting-cleanupclaude-obsidian
- Use when turning raw meeting notes, voice memos, or messy capture into a structured note with decisions, action items, and attendees.
- summarize-and-linkclaude-obsidian
- Use when adding a TL;DR or summary to a long note, condensing a note, or surfacing and linking the key concepts inside a note.
/build
Build, spec & handoff
Move from plan to spec to build, track progress honestly, and hand off to cloud sessions.
- plan-to-specclaude-obsidian
- Use when turning a planning note into a build spec, preparing a note for handoff to a Claude Code build, or creating a spec and tracker from a plan.
- tracker-driverclaude-obsidian
- Use when driving a spec-based build against the vault and updating its tracker note, or reporting build progress honestly to a tracker as tasks complete.
- build-retrospectiveclaude-obsidian
- Use when a spec-based build or tracker is complete and a retrospective is needed, or when closing out a build against its spec.
- task-harvesterclaude-obsidian
- Use when collecting open tasks or todos scattered across notes, building a consolidated action list, or surfacing all unchecked checkbox or task-tagged items in an Obsidian vault.
- cloud-replyclaude-obsidian
- Use when running as a dispatched cloud Claude Code session against an Obsidian vault repo — do the task, write the result back as a reply note, and open a PR so Companion can pull it into the vault on any device.
/advisor
Advisor personas
manifest-* roadmaps: survey the vault through a persona and produce a prioritized plan.
- manifest-vaultclaude-obsidian
- Use when asked to optimize, clean up, audit, or improve an Obsidian vault, assess vault health, or find structural problems in a vault.
- manifest-pmclaude-obsidian
- Use when prioritizing project work from vault notes, deciding what to build next, planning client-facing deliverables, or producing a roadmap or status from project notes.
- manifest-infraclaude-obsidian
- Use when proposing infrastructure or system designs from architecture notes, reviewing a system's design, or planning infra and scaling moves from vault notes.
- manifest-featureclaude-obsidian
- Use when proposing product features from idea, feedback, or spec notes, deciding what to build from user feedback, or prioritizing a feature backlog from vault notes.
- manifest-contentclaude-obsidian
- Use when turning vault knowledge into publishable content, planning a content calendar from your notes, or deciding what to write as a blog post, doc, or thread.
- manifest-riskclaude-obsidian
- Use when surfacing risks, blockers, contradictions, or single points of failure across project notes, or building a risk register from the vault.
- manifest-researchclaude-obsidian
- Use when identifying knowledge gaps, deciding what to research next, or planning a research agenda from what an Obsidian vault already covers.
/foundations
Foundations
The shared discipline every skill builds on — grounding, routines, and the artifact system.
- vault-groundingclaude-obsidian
- Use when reading, citing, writing, or editing notes in an Obsidian vault over the MCP bridge — any time output references vault content, links notes, or modifies the vault.
- vault-routinesclaude-obsidian
- Use when a vault task produces recurring value, when the user asks to automate or repeat a vault workflow on a schedule, or after delivering a result the user will want regularly.
- note-to-artifactclaude-obsidian
- Use when turning notes, data, or a plan into a beautiful, self-contained HTML artifact (report, dashboard, plan, table, or diagram) in the Anthropic-flavored "HTML is all you need" style — especially for Obsidian notes rendered in a ```claude-html``` block.
/local-models
Local models
Discover, verify, and wire local MLX-optimized models on Apple Silicon into a coding agent.
