Obsidian Vault File Operations

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when... Use the alternative instead when...
Reading, creating, appending, moving, renaming, or deleting notes through the running CLI Doing offline bulk edits across many .md files — use vault-frontmatter or vault-templates
Opening or creating today's daily note Curating MOC hub notes that organise existing content — use vault-mocs
Managing folder layout while Obsidian is running Renaming a note and rewriting all links to it — use vault-wikilinks
Recovering a previous version after a bad edit — use file-history
Querying notes structured by a Base view — use bases

Comprehensive guidance for managing files, folders, and daily notes in Obsidian vaults using the official Obsidian CLI.
