Obsidian Organizer
Use this skill to make a vault predictable, searchable, and low-maintenance.
Workflow
- Snapshot current state
- Count files and top-level folders.
- Identify naming drift and duplicate patterns.
- Apply standard structure
- Read
references/folder-structure.md. - Propose moves before applying.
- Enforce naming rules
- Read
references/naming-rules.md. - Run audit script in dry-run mode:
python scripts/obsidian_audit.py - Apply only after confirmation:
python scripts/obsidian_audit.py --apply
- Run migration checklist
- Follow
references/migration-checklist.md in order.
- Verify
- Re-run audit until zero naming issues.
- Confirm daily notes use
YYYY-MM-DD.md. - Confirm no orphaned notes remain in
inbox/.
Guardrails
- Never rename or move files without a dry-run first.
- Never delete notes automatically.
- Prefer deterministic naming over clever naming.
- Keep folder depth shallow (<=3 when possible).
- If link integrity is uncertain, pause and ask before bulk apply.
