Searches, creates, and manages notes in Matt Pocock's Obsidian vault at `/mnt/d/Obsidian Vault/AI Research/` — Title Case filenames, flat layout, `[[wikilinks]]`, and Index notes that aggregate related topics.
Overview
Obsidian Vault is a skill from Matt Pocock's "Skills For Real Engineers" collection that enables AI agents to search, create, and manage notes in an Obsidian vault. It follows Obsidian conventions including Title Case filenames, flat folder layout, wikilink syntax for cross-references, and Index notes that aggregate related content. The skill bridges the gap between coding agents and personal knowledge management.
Key Features
- Note search and retrieval - Finds existing notes by keyword, title, or content within the configured Obsidian vault directory
- Structured note creation - Creates new notes following Obsidian conventions: Title Case filenames,
[[wikilinks]]for cross-references, and consistent formatting - Index note management - Maintains Index notes that aggregate and link related notes together, keeping the vault organized as it grows
- Flat layout convention - Uses a flat directory structure rather than nested folders, aligning with common Obsidian workflows for maximum link discoverability
- Part of a composable skill suite - Integrates with other mattpocock skills so research findings from grilling sessions, code reviews, or exploration can flow into your knowledge base
Who is this for?
- Developers who use Obsidian as their knowledge management system and want their AI coding agent to read from and write to their vault
- Engineers who want to capture architectural decisions, research notes, or debugging findings directly into Obsidian during coding sessions
- Teams that maintain shared knowledge bases in Obsidian and want AI agents to contribute structured notes from development workflows

Interviews the user relentlessly about every aspect of a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree one by one. Provides recommended answers for each question and explores the codebase when answers can be found there.
A skill that runs a grilling session to challenge your plan against an existing domain model, sharpen terminology by building a shared language in CONTEXT.md, and document architectural decisions in ADRs before coding begins.
An agent skill from Matt Pocock's engineering toolkit that helps improve your codebase architecture. Part of a composable skill set designed to fix common AI coding agent failure modes through structured, experience-based workflows.
Enforces test-driven development with a strict red-green-refactor loop using vertical slices (one test then one implementation at a time), emphasizing behavior verification through public interfaces rather than implementation-coupled testing.
Initial setup skill for Matt Pocock's engineering skills collection that configures your backlog manager, triage labels, and documentation paths for AI coding agents.
A model-invoked productivity skill that interviews users relentlessly about a plan or design until every branch of the decision tree is resolved. It serves as the reusable interview loop behind the grill-me and grill-with-docs skills.
Composable, model-agnostic agent skills for real engineering workflows, featuring /grill-me for requirement alignment, /prototype for rapid iteration, and task management tools designed to fix common failure modes in AI coding agents.
A model-invoked engineering skill that provides shared discipline and vocabulary for designing deep modules: maximizing behavior behind small interfaces, placing code at clean seams, and ensuring testability through public APIs.
A model-invoked skill that guides coding agents through a disciplined diagnosis loop for hard bugs: reproduce, minimise, hypothesise, instrument, fix, and regression-test.
A collection of small, composable engineering skills designed for real development workflows, featuring grilling sessions for requirement alignment, issue tracking integration, and task triage with customizable labels.
