- description:
- Search and read Obsidian vault notes by topic. Use when needing context from past sessions, project notes, or any stored knowledge.
Read Obsidian Notes by Topic
Refer to ~/.claude/skills/obsidian-core/SKILL.md for CLI patterns, preflight checks, and error handling.
If no argument is provided, inform the user they need to pass a topic as an argument.
Search Strategy
-
Primary search — full-text search across the vault:
obsidian search:context query="<topic>" format=json limit=10 2>/dev/null -
Folder-scoped search — when the user specifies a context or folder:
obsidian search:context query="<topic>" path="Sessions" format=json limit=10 2>/dev/null -
Tag-based search — secondary vector when the topic maps to a known tag:
obsidian tag name="<topic>" verbose 2>/dev/null -
Backlinks — for the top result, surface related notes:
obsidian backlinks path="<top-result-path>" 2>/dev/null
Output Format
- List files with relevance indicators
- Show brief excerpts of matching content
- Group by category: Sessions, Projects, Daily Notes, General
- Include note paths for easy navigation
- Show total match count
- Exclude template files (anything in
99-Meta/) from results
Multiple Topics
For space- or comma-separated topics, run a separate search per term then merge and deduplicate results by note path.
Priority Order
- Exact matches in file names or headers
- Session notes that mention the topic
- Project notes containing the topic
- General content matches
Examples
/read-notes terraform- Find notes about Terraform/read-notes docker kubernetes- Find notes about Docker or Kubernetes/read-notes "datadog curriculum"- Find notes about Datadog curriculum
