Fast vault Q&A — quick lookups, decision history, blocker status, doc search. Uses QMD hybrid search when available, falls back to vault grep. Use for "/ask what did we decide about auth?" or "/ask who's blocked?".
Use when running the `obsidian` CLI command, interacting with an Obsidian vault from the terminal, creating/appending/reading notes programmatically, searching vault content, managing daily notes, querying tags or backlinks, or automating any Obsidian vault operations. Requires Obsidian 1.12+, app running, CLI enabled in Settings → General → CLI.
Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.
Use when extending the agent itself — adding facades, tools, vault operations, brain features, new skills, or modifying agent internals. Triggers on "add a facade", "new tool", "extend vault", "add brain feature", "new skill", "add operation", "extend agent", or when the work target is the agent's own codebase rather than a project the agent assists with. Enforces vault-first knowledge gathering before any code reading or planning. --- # Agent Dev — Vault-First Internal Development Develop the agent's own internals with the vault as the primary source of truth. The vault knows more about the agent than any code scan or model training data. Always search the vault first, extract maximum context, and only then touch code. ## When to Use Any time the work target is the agent's own codebase: adding tools, extending facades, modifying vault operations, brain features, skills, or transport. Not for projects that merely *use* the agent. ## Core Principle **Vault first. Before code. Before training data. Always.** The vault is the authoritative source for how the agent works. Do not rely on general knowledge from training data — it is outdated and lacks project-specific decisions. Do not scan the codebase to understand architecture — the vault already has it. ## Orchestration Sequence ### Step 1: Search the Vault (MANDATORY — before anything else) Before reading any source file, before making any plan, before offering any advice: ```
Find and use credentials from your team's passwd.team vault.

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Quick Start:
Import/download skills (.zip/.skill), then place locally:
~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code)
~/.codex/skills/ (Codex CLI)
One SKILL.md can be reused across tools.
Everything you need to know: what skills are, how they work, how to find/import them, and how to contribute.
A skill is a reusable capability package, usually including SKILL.md (purpose/IO/how-to) and optional scripts/templates/examples.
Think of it as a plugin playbook + resource bundle for AI assistants/toolchains.
Skills use progressive disclosure: load brief metadata first, load full docs only when needed, then execute by guidance.
This keeps agents lightweight while preserving enough context for complex tasks.
Use these three together:
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
Most common reasons:
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
