What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by graniet/kheish in skills/note-taking/obsidian/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Kheish Compatibility
This skill is repo-local and stays inactive until explicitly activated.
When the original instructions refer to legacy tool names, use these Kheish mappings:
terminal=>bashweb_extract=>web_fetch, plusweb_searchwhen discovery is neededsearch_files=>grep_searchandglob_searchbrowser_*tools require a browser-capable surfaced tool or MCP; if none is available, use the closest available surface and say so explicitly
When the instructions mention local helper files, resolve them from ${KHEISH_SKILL_DIR}.
Obsidian Vault
Location: Set via OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH environment variable (e.g. in ~/.kheish/.env).
If unset, defaults to ~/Documents/Obsidian Vault.
Note: Vault paths may contain spaces - always quote them.
