Discovery
32%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 identifies the tool ecosystem (Obsidian, obsidian-cli) but is too vague about specific capabilities and completely lacks trigger guidance. It would benefit from listing concrete actions and adding explicit 'Use when...' conditions to help Claude distinguish this from general markdown or note-taking skills.
Suggestions
Add a 'Use when...' clause with trigger terms like 'Obsidian', 'vault', 'knowledge base', 'PKM', 'note-taking', or 'backlinks'.
List specific concrete actions such as 'create notes', 'search vault contents', 'manage tags', 'create backlinks', or 'organize folders'.
Include common file extensions and user phrases like '.md files', 'personal wiki', or 'second brain' to improve trigger term coverage.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Names the domain (Obsidian vaults, Markdown notes) and mentions automation via obsidian-cli, but lacks specific concrete actions like 'create notes', 'link notes', 'search vault', or 'manage tags'. | 2 / 3 |
Completeness | Describes what at a high level but completely lacks a 'Use when...' clause or any explicit trigger guidance for when Claude should select this skill. | 1 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Includes 'Obsidian vaults', 'Markdown notes', and 'obsidian-cli' which are relevant, but misses common user terms like 'notes', 'knowledge base', 'PKM', 'backlinks', or '.md files'. | 2 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | 'Obsidian vaults' and 'obsidian-cli' provide some distinctiveness, but 'plain Markdown notes' could overlap with general markdown editing skills without clearer boundaries. | 2 / 3 |

Implementation
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 provides actionable CLI commands without over-explaining concepts Claude already knows. The structure is logical and the commands are executable. Minor weakness is the lack of explicit validation steps for potentially destructive operations like move and delete.
Suggestions
Add a brief validation step after move/delete operations (e.g., 'Verify with `obsidian-cli search` that the note appears in new location')
Consider adding error handling guidance for when Obsidian URI handler fails or vault isn't found
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Content is lean and efficient, assuming Claude knows what Markdown, JSON, and vaults are. Every section provides only essential information without explaining basic concepts. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides specific, executable commands for all operations (search, create, move, delete). Commands are copy-paste ready with clear flags and arguments shown. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Commands are listed clearly but lacks validation checkpoints. For operations like move/delete, there's no guidance on verifying success or handling errors. The 'set-default once, then use' workflow is implicit rather than explicit. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | For a skill under 50 lines with no need for external references, the content is well-organized with clear sections (vault structure, finding vaults, CLI commands). Appropriate for a single-file skill. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 11 / 12 Passed |
Validation
72%Checks the skill against the spec for correct structure and formatting. All validation checks must pass before discovery and implementation can be scored.
