Manage an Obsidian vault via /obos commands: capture ideas to inbox, tidy and file notes, sync the index, and review vault health.

About

  • Core loop: save to inbox, tidy, sync index, review
  • Commands for init, multi-vault registry, refine, ask, and draft

Obsidian Best Practices (obos)

有主见的 Obsidian vault 管理系统。核心循环:收集 → 整理 → 连接 → 回顾。

Commands

CommandDescription
/obos save ["内容"]快速收集想法到 Inbox(核心命令)
/obos tidy整理笔记归位(支持 standard/strong 模式)
/obos sync更新索引 + 健康报告 + 链接建议
/obos reviewVault 状态回顾 + 下一步建议
/obos init初始化 vault 结构
/obos vault管理多个 vault 注册
/obos refine [note]深度加工笔记(进阶)
/obos ask "question"查询知识库(进阶)
/obos draft "topic"基于笔记起草文章(进阶)

No argument → show grouped command list:

核心:save, tidy, sync, review
设置:init, vault
进阶:refine, ask, draft

Tidy 默认策略

/obos tidy 默认按 standard 模式运行,并启用幂等增量整理:

  • 重复执行时,已整理且未变更的文件会被跳过,不重复迁移
  • 自动重命名默认只执行一次;检测到手动改名后自动锁定(name_locked: true
  • 项目目录默认 project-policy=contain:项目结构冻结,不打散且不改内部层级/文件名
  • 通过 /.obos/tidy-state.json 与 frontmatter 双重判定稳定性
  • 通过 /.obos/tidy-config.json 可扩展项目目录白名单(projectRootsExtra
  • strong 模式先进行目录必要性评估(KEEP / REORGANIZE / ARCHIVE_DIR)
  • 目录评估审计输出到 /.obos/dir-audit.json
  • 默认不删除 markdown 文档(deleteMarkdown=false),仅清理空目录

Multi-Vault 配置

配置文件:~/.proma/agent-workspaces/obsidian/obos-config.json

{
  "vaults": {
    "personal": { "path": "D:/obsidian/personal", "default": true },
    "work": { "path": "C:/Users/.../work-vault" }
  },
  "lastUsedVault": "personal"
}

Vault Path Discovery

所有命令共享此逻辑(按优先级):

1. 命令参数 --to <alias> 指定的 vault 2. obos-config.json 中的 default vault 3. 当前工作目录(如果包含 .obsidian/ 或 vault CLAUDE.md) 4. 如果以上都不存在,用 AskUserQuestion 引导用户注册 vault

Vault Structure

Vault/
├── CLAUDE.md          # AI context file
├── Index.md           # AI-readable index (auto-generated)
├── Inbox/             # 收集入口(save 写入此处)
├── Notes/             # Evergreen notes
├── Clippings/         # Web clippings
├── References/        # Source materials
├── Attachments/       # Images and files

└── Templates/         # Note templates

Knowledge Maturity Model

Frontmatter status 字段:

  • inbox — 刚收集,未整理
  • draft — 已分类,未深度加工
  • refined — 经过 /obos refine 深度加工

Evergreen Note Template

---
status: {{inbox|draft|refined}}
source: {{attribution}}
created: {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
