Quality

Content

87%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

This is a well-crafted, concise skill that efficiently teaches Claude how to work with Obsidian vaults and obsidian-cli. Its strengths are token efficiency and actionability—every command is concrete and ready to use. The main weakness is the lack of validation/verification steps after potentially destructive operations like move and delete, which prevents workflow clarity from reaching the top score.

Suggestions

Add a brief validation step after `obsidian-cli move` (e.g., verify the note exists at the new path and spot-check a wikilink update) to strengthen workflow clarity for this refactoring operation.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The content is lean and efficient. It assumes Claude knows what Markdown is, what Obsidian is at a high level, and doesn't waste tokens explaining basic concepts. Every section delivers actionable information without padding.

3 / 3

Actionability

Provides specific, copy-paste-ready CLI commands for every operation (search, create, move, delete, set-default). Includes concrete file paths for vault discovery and practical notes about edge cases (dot-folders, URI handler requirement).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The skill covers multiple operations but presents them as a reference list rather than a sequenced workflow. For vault discovery there's a clear two-step decision (check default, then read config), but there are no explicit validation checkpoints—e.g., after move/rename, no step to verify links were updated correctly.

2 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

For a skill under 50 lines with no bundle files and no need for external references, the content is well-organized into logical sections (vault structure, finding vaults, CLI quick start) with clear headers. No monolithic walls of text or unnecessary nesting.

Description

22%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is too vague, essentially saying it 'works with' Obsidian without specifying concrete capabilities or when it should be selected. While it names the tool (Obsidian, obsidian-cli), it lacks actionable detail about what operations it performs and provides no explicit trigger guidance for skill selection.

Suggestions

List specific concrete actions such as 'Create, search, link, and organize notes in Obsidian vaults; manage tags, backlinks, and metadata; execute obsidian-cli commands'.

Add an explicit 'Use when...' clause, e.g., 'Use when the user mentions Obsidian, vault management, knowledge base notes, backlinks, or obsidian-cli commands'.

Include natural trigger terms users would say, such as 'notes', 'knowledge base', 'backlinks', 'tags', 'daily notes', '.md files'.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description says 'work with' and 'automate via' which are vague actions. It doesn't list any concrete actions like creating notes, linking notes, searching vaults, managing tags, etc.

1 / 3

Completeness

The 'what' is extremely vague ('work with' and 'automate'), and there is no 'when' clause or explicit trigger guidance at all. The missing 'Use when...' clause would cap this at 2 regardless, but the weak 'what' brings it to 1.

1 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Includes 'Obsidian', 'vaults', 'Markdown notes', and 'obsidian-cli' which are relevant keywords. However, it misses common user terms like 'notes', 'knowledge base', 'backlinks', 'tags', '.md files', or specific task-oriented terms users might say.

2 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Mentioning 'Obsidian vaults' and 'obsidian-cli' provides some distinctiveness from generic Markdown or note-taking skills, but 'plain Markdown notes' could overlap with any Markdown-related skill.
