Your AI agent starts every session knowing nothing about you. These 45 commands give it long-term memory across sessions, kept as plain markdown in your own Obsidian vault. Every one works by plain language, in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
Capture, retrieve and maintain the notes themselves.
/obsidian-board-hygieneBulk-triage a kanban board - surface stale items and archive, reschedule, or mark them done in one pass
/obsidian-boardShow or update a kanban board - flags overdue items, updates from conversation
/obsidian-calendarOne calendar command with four modes - agenda (read a snapshot), reconcile (vault vs calendar gaps), meeting (event to note), schedule (task to event)
/obsidian-captureQuick idea capture - zero friction, saves to your ideas folder and mentions in daily note
/obsidian-catchupReview and process everything captured on the go from the Telegram journal bot - voice, text, images, PDFs, links - waiting in the catchup queue. You pull it when you are back at the laptop; nothing is processed autonomously.
/obsidian-dailyCreate or update today's daily note - pulls calendar events, overdue tasks, and conversation context
/obsidian-findSmart vault search - returns results with context, not just filenames
/obsidian-logLog this work or dev session to the vault - infers project from context
/obsidian-personCreate or update a person note from conversation context
/obsidian-projectCreate or update a project note - adds to board and daily note automatically
/obsidian-projectsLive project status from git + local docs - infers all context from vault notes, no config required
/obsidian-recapSummarize a time period from the vault - today, week, or month
/obsidian-recurringTrack a recurring obligation (payment, filing, ops) with a cadence and a computed next-due date
/obsidian-saveSave everything worth keeping from this conversation to the vault
/obsidian-taskAdd a task to the right kanban board with inferred priority and due date
/obsidian-worldLoad your identity, values, priorities, and current state in one shot - with progressive context levels to avoid burning tokens
Turn what is already in the vault into a decision, a plan or an argument.
/idea-discoverySurface 3-5 next-direction candidates by reading ungraduated ideas, open project questions, and orphan research notes - what is worth working on next
/obsidian-brainstormMulti-turn Socratic brainstorm - one question per turn until the idea converges, then a design note with named alternatives and one recommendation
/obsidian-challengeRed-team your current idea against your own vault history - finds contradictions, past failures, and flawed assumptions
/obsidian-connectBridge two unrelated domains using your vault's link graph - forces creative friction to spark new ideas
/obsidian-decideRecord decisions - lightweight by default (logged to project notes), or a full ADR record with --formal
/obsidian-distillCondense a long note or source into key claims, each tagged with provenance back to the exact source block it came from
/obsidian-emergeSurface unnamed patterns from your recent notes - recurring themes, hidden connections, and conclusions you haven't explicitly stated
/obsidian-graduatePromote an idea fragment into a full project spec with tasks, board entries, and structure
/obsidian-learnReview vault learnings, prune stale ones, surface active patterns - the vault's lessons compound or expire
/obsidian-panelConvene a panel of distinct perspectives on a decision - one independent verdict per lens, then a synthesis. A multi-persona complement to /obsidian-challenge
/obsidian-reconcileFind and resolve contradictions in the vault - the vault maintains its own truth
/obsidian-reviewGenerate a structured weekly or monthly review note from vault history
/obsidian-synthesizeAutomatic synthesis - scans the vault for unnamed patterns and writes synthesis pages without being asked
/vault-deep-synthesisDeep cross-reference of everything the vault knows about one topic - agreements, contradictions, stale claims, and coverage gaps. Pure vault, no network
Pull the outside world in, with sources and recency preserved.
/notebooklmVault-first source-grounded research via Gemini File Search. One command, no browser. The grounded parallel to /research-deep (which is open-web via Perplexity).
/obsidian-ingestIngest a source into the vault - the vault rewrites itself around new knowledge. Every ingest updates entities, rewrites stale claims, synthesizes new concepts, and resolves contradictions.
/podcastExtract metadata, transcript, and summary from a podcast episode, saved as an AI-first note in the vault
/research-deepVault-first deep research - scans the vault, fills gaps (Perplexity + Grok when keyed, free key-less sources otherwise), synthesizes a delta, then propagates updates across people/projects/ideas via /obsidian-save
/researchWeb research with citations - Perplexity Sonar when an API key is set, free key-less sources (Wikipedia, HackerNews, arXiv, Reddit, and more) otherwise. Deep dossier with summary, facts, timeline, players, contrarian views, open questions
/x-pulseScan X for what's trending in a topic - themes, voices, hooks, and post ideas powered by Grok x_search
/x-readDeep-read an X (Twitter) post via Grok x_search - verbatim post, thread, TL;DR, claims, reply sentiment, voices to watch
/youtubeExtract transcript, metadata, and top comments from a YouTube video - summarized via Gemini (free tier) or Grok and saved to vault. Add --visual to also read the video's frames (scene detection)
Set up, extend and inspect the skill itself.
/create-commandCreate a new obsidian-second-brain command via interview - zero markdown editing required
/obsidian-architectScan a codebase and write a maintained set of architecture notes into the vault - overview, per-module notes, key decisions. Re-run to refresh without clobbering your edits
/obsidian-exportExport a clean structured snapshot of the vault that any agent or tool can consume - flat JSON, markdown index, or an OKF (Open Knowledge Format) bundle
/obsidian-healthRun a vault health check - grouped by severity, detects contradictions, concept gaps, stale claims, and structural issues
/obsidian-initScan your vault and generate a _CLAUDE.md operating manual, index.md catalog, and log.md pointer
/obsidian-retrieval-evalMeasure how well vault search finds the right note for a natural-language question - recall@k and MRR, with the concrete failures
/obsidian-visualizeGenerate a visual canvas map of your vault - see the shape of your second brain and how knowledge connects
