What to prepare: An Obsidian folder with project descriptions, meeting notes and task notes.

Recommended prompts

Replace the bracketed placeholders, then paste into an AI tool with this skill installed. Prompts follow the interface language; copying preserves the full text and line breaks.

Use the obsidian-markdown skill to organize [notes folder]. Read existing project notes, create index.md with topic-based entry points and add wikilinks to actual related files. Follow existing conventions for properties and callouts while preserving original text and file names. Do not link to nonexistent notes. List changed files and check Markdown and Obsidian-specific syntax.

Review link destinations, embed paths, properties and callout syntax. Confirm original text and attachment references remain intact. Identify isolated notes needing content without creating empty files merely to satisfy links.
