Search my Obsidian vault for all notes containing “weekly meeting”, collect action items from the last 30 days, and create a new note called “Weekly Meeting Action Summary” grouped by project with source links.
A new summary note with grouped action items and links back to the source notes.
Find all notes in the vault tagged #research that are missing a status property, add status: active to them, and return a list of modified notes.
The notes are updated in bulk, and a list of modified note names or paths is returned.
Search my Obsidian notes around “generative AI”, identify related pages, backlinks, and open tasks, then create an index note with an overview, key note links, and next actions.
A structured topic index note is created, connecting related content and listing follow-up tasks.
Use the official obsidian CLI for Obsidian vault work. Vault files are plain Markdown, so direct file edits are still fine when safer/faster.
