Vault Frontmatter Maintenance
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use the alternative instead when... |
|---|---|
Bulk-stripping legacy id: fields or null tags: entries across many .md files offline |
Setting a single property on one live note via the running CLI — use properties |
Cleaning up unrendered {{title}} / <% tp.file.cursor() %> placeholders inside YAML |
Repairing those markers in note body text — use vault-templates |
| Adding missing frontmatter blocks to notes that lack one | Consolidating the actual tag values once the YAML structure is sound — use vault-tags |
Offline, file-level repair of YAML frontmatter. Complements the properties skill (which uses the Obsidian CLI) by operating on .md files directly — safe for bulk mechanical passes.
