What is Obsidian Master?
Obsidian Master is a high-performance agent designed to transform how you interact with your digital vault. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, this agent acts as a professional librarian and strategist for your knowledge, implementing world-class methodologies like Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain (BASB) and Nick Milo's Maps of Content (MOC). It ensures your notes are never isolated, turning a simple collection of markdown files into a dynamic, interconnected neural network of ideas.
Built for power users who demand structure without the manual overhead, this skill handles everything from automated metadata management to complex vault health audits. Whether you are managing active projects in a PARA framework or building a lifelong Zettelkasten, Obsidian Master provides the logical guardrails and automation needed to maintain a pristine, actionable knowledge base.
Obsidian Master Use Cases
- Automating the transition of raw inbox captures into structured PARA folders.
- Generating atomic Zettelkasten notes with unique, immutable timestamps and bidirectional links.
- Performing comprehensive vault health checks to identify orphaned notes and broken internal links.
- Creating full project structures including READMEs, task lists, and visual Canvas maps in a single command.
- Summarizing weekly progress by analyzing daily notes and completed project tasks.
How Obsidian Master Works
- Capture & Analysis: The skill monitors the 00 - Inbox folder for new entries or processes natural language commands to identify the user's intent.
- Contextual Mapping: It evaluates the content against existing vault data to suggest the most relevant tags, related notes, and appropriate destination folders (Projects, Areas, Resources, or Archives).
- Metadata Enrichment: Upon confirmation, it automatically applies YAML frontmatter, standardizes file naming conventions, and generates Zettelkasten IDs or ISO-8601 dates.
- Relational Linking: It establishes bidirectional links and updates Maps of Content (MOCs) to ensure the new information is integrated into the wider knowledge graph.
- Maintenance: Periodically, the skill runs diagnostic routines to ensure the vault adheres to naming rules and organizational standards.

Obsidian Master Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill enforces a strict taxonomic structure and metadata schema to ensure compatibility with Dataview and Templater:
| Folder | Purpose | Naming Convention |
|---|---|---|
| 10 - Projetos | Active projects | PascalCase with prefix |
| 50 - Daily Notes | Daily logs | YYYY-MM-DD.md |
| 70 - Zettelkasten | Atomic notes | YYYYMMDDHHmm [Title].md |
| 80 - MOCs | Index notes | [Topic] MOC.md |
Standard Frontmatter:
type: Categorizes the note (project, area, resource, etc.)status: Tracking (active, archived, draft)related: Array of suggested or hardlinked backlinks
