Your agent can now search your vault semantically, create notes from conversation context, and link related ideas together. It treats your vault as a knowledge base it can both read and write to.
Why I Rate It
I keep research notes, meeting summaries, and tool evaluations in Obsidian. Before this skill, pulling that context into an agent conversation meant copy-pasting from one app to another. Now I just say "check my notes on browser automation" and the agent searches my vault, finds the relevant pages, and uses them as context.
The write side is useful too. Agent finishes researching a topic? "Write a summary to my vault under technology/browser-tools." Done. No manual note-taking after the conversation ends.
The fact that Obsidian's own CEO built this tells you where the ecosystem is heading. Your notes app is becoming agent-accessible infrastructure, not just a place you type into.
