Set Up Aliases Skill

This skill enables agents to add meaningful aliases to Obsidian notes, improving note discoverability and enabling natural linking across languages and abbreviations.

Overview

Aliases are alternative names for a note stored in the YAML frontmatter. When an alias is defined, Obsidian treats it as an equivalent way to reference that note via wikilinks or search.

Why aliases matter:

• Cross-language support — Link to notes using translations
• Abbreviation linking — Use acronyms like [[CoT]] instead of [[chain of thought]]
• Natural language — Allow different phrasings to resolve to the same note
• Search discovery — Find notes using alternative terminology
