What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian in skills/links/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Map the link graph around a specific note.

Workflow

  1. Call obsidian_get_links on the specified note to find outgoing links
  2. Call obsidian_get_backlinks on the same note to find incoming links
  3. Present a connection map:
    • Outgoing links: Notes this note references
    • Incoming links: Notes that reference this note

Arguments

The note path or name follows the skill invocation. Example: /links Projects/MyProject.md

Tips

  • If the user provides just a name (no path), try searching for it first with obsidian_search_notes
  • For obsidian_get_backlinks, pass the note name without the .md extension
  • For obsidian_get_links, pass the full relative path with .md
