The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If Meilisearch is unreachable or unconfigured (script exits non-zero), fall back to tiers 2–3 — they only need the local vault.

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    Run with --help for all flags.

    line 22

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

obsidian-search

Find Markdown notes and tasks in an Obsidian vault without loading the whole vault into context.

Routing

  1. Topic / fuzzy / "notes about X" → scripts/meili_search.py. Typo-tolerant full-text over a Meilisearch index; best when the user won't remember exact words. Expand synonyms yourself across queries.
  2. Exact content, frontmatter, tags, task glyphs → direct rg.
  3. Natural-language dates, overdue comparisons, CJK term extraction → scripts/vault_search.py.

If Meilisearch is unreachable or unconfigured (script exits non-zero), fall back to tiers 2–3 — they only need the local vault.

Env: OBSIDIAN_VAULT (vault root), MEILI_URL (default http://127.0.0.1:7700), MEILI_SEARCH_KEY (file fallback ~/meilisearch/search-key.txt), MEILI_INDEX (default notes).

Meilisearch

Run with --help for all flags. Never dump raw hits into context — use --fields and small --limit.

uv run scripts/meili_search.py "spaced repetition" --limit 5 --fields "title,path"
uv run scripts/meili_search.py "prompt caching" --filter "tags=ai" --sort "updated:desc" --json

Hit path values are vault-relative (e.g. Library/Book Notes/Influence.md); join with $OBSIDIAN_VAULT to open.

Direct Patterns

rg "keyword" --glob "*.md" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"
rg -lU 'tags:\n(\s*- .*\n)*?\s*- tagname\b' --glob "*.md" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"  # YAML list tags; prefer meili --filter "tags=tagname" when index is up
rg "created: $(date +%Y-%m)" --glob "*.md" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"
rg "^- \[ \].*📅 $(date +%F)" --glob "*.md" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"
rg "^- \[ \].*⏫" --glob "*.md" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT"

Date-Aware Script

uv run scripts/vault_search.py "recent week psychology"
uv run scripts/vault_search.py "overdue tasks"
uv run scripts/vault_search.py "找3-2-1技巧" --raw   # --raw: plain paths for piping

Notes

  • created: YYYY-MM-DD frontmatter drives dates; vault_search.py falls back to file mtime.
  • Task markers (Tasks plugin): 📅 due, 🛫 start, ⏳ scheduled, ⏫/🔼/🔽 priority.
  • Synonym expansion is the agent's job, not the scripts'.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
