Broaden skill description to trigger on vault intent, not just CLI mentions

Browse Source 
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.

name: obsidian-cli
description: >
Use this skill for any workflow where the user controls Obsidian from a terminal
or script — not the GUI. Concrete triggers: running the `obsidian` binary and its
subcommands (daily:append, eval, tasks, orphans, search, property:set, etc.);
writing bash or Python scripts that automate vault operations; scheduling Obsidian
tasks via cron or systemd timers; debugging IPC socket errors or headless Linux
setups; evaluating JavaScript against the Obsidian API from a shell; or building
programmatic wrappers around the CLI. The single clearest signal: the user is
invoking or wants to invoke the `obsidian` command from a terminal rather than
clicking through the app. Skip for GUI-only questions, installing plugins or themes
through the Obsidian interface, iCloud/sync configuration, or processing markdown
files with tools that have no connection to the `obsidian` binary.
Use this skill whenever the user wants Claude to interact with their Obsidian vault
— reading notes, creating or appending content, searching, managing tasks, tags,
properties, daily notes, bookmarks, templates, sync, plugins, or links. The
underlying mechanism is the official Obsidian CLI (v1.12+), but trigger even when
the user doesn't mention the CLI — phrases like "add this to my daily note", "search
my vault", "create a note from template", or "what tasks do I have open?" all apply.
Also trigger for explicit CLI usage: running `obsidian` subcommands from a shell,
scripting or automating vault operations, scheduling via cron, debugging IPC/headless
Linux setups, or building programmatic wrappers. Skip only for pure GUI questions
(Obsidian settings navigation, theme/plugin installation via UI) or iCloud sync
configuration that has nothing to do with vault content.
