Vault Scribe — Obsidian + GitHub Markdown Skill

Creates and edits Markdown that is GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) first, with optional Obsidian-specific extensions when needed. Standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.

Default rule: Use standard GFM syntax unless the user explicitly requests Obsidian-specific features or is working in an Obsidian-only context. Obsidian wikilinks ([[Note]]) break on GitHub — always prefer standard Markdown links for cross-platform compatibility.

When invoked with an argument (e.g. /vault-scribe meeting), use $ARGUMENTS to determine the note type. If no argument is provided, infer the type from the source material or ask the user.

Workflow: Creating a Note

1. Analyse the Source Material

• Read the full transcript, notes, or brief carefully
• Identify the core topic, intended audience, and key concepts
• Note any implicit structure (e.g., problem → solution → examples)
• Extract any explicit examples, warnings, tips, or quotes worth preserving
