Organize and standardize Obsidian vaults for reliability and long-term maintainability. Use when designing or cleaning vault folder structure, enforcing file naming conventions, migrating messy vaults, reducing duplicate/ambiguous notes, or creating repeatable audit-and-fix workflows for Obsidian notes.

Obsidian Organizer

Use this skill to make a vault predictable, searchable, and low-maintenance.

Workflow

Snapshot current state
- Count files and top-level folders.
- Identify naming drift and duplicate patterns.
Apply standard structure
- Read
```
references/folder-structure.md
```
  .
- Propose moves before applying.

Enforce naming rules

Read
```
references/naming-rules.md
```
.

Run audit script in dry-run mode:

python scripts/obsidian_audit.py <vault-path>

Apply only after confirmation:

python scripts/obsidian_audit.py <vault-path> --apply

Run migration checklist
- Follow
```
references/migration-checklist.md
```
  in order.
Verify
- Re-run audit until zero naming issues.
- Confirm daily notes use
```
YYYY-MM-DD.md
```
  .
- Confirm no orphaned notes remain in
```
inbox/
```
  .

Guardrails

Never rename or move files without a dry-run first.
Never delete notes automatically.
Prefer deterministic naming over clever naming.
Keep folder depth shallow (<=3 when possible).
If link integrity is uncertain, pause and ask before bulk apply.
