From de356e83962b0e21aa620f9eb52b6037ffee3d4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: pablo-mano Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 00:18:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Broaden skill description to trigger on vault intent, not just CLI mentions MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The skill should activate whenever the user wants Claude to interact with their Obsidian vault — not only when they explicitly mention the CLI or terminal. Casual phrases like "add to my daily note" or "search my vault" are now explicit triggers.
