# Obsidian Vault Builder (general PKM, multi-vault aware)
Patterns for operating an Obsidian vault from Claude Code: capture pipelines, plugin selection, REST API integration, file-portability discipline, methodology choice. Multi-vault aware.
For academic study vault construction (course prep, lecture notes, mock exams, exam-ready content): the durable patterns from the deprecated `obsidian-study-vault-builder` skill have been folded into this skill. See `references/academic-vault.md`. The companion skill itself was removed via PR #6 and re-validated 2026-05-15 (over-triggered on exam-prep prompts; structurally misaligned with the interactive-practice approach in `~/.claude/rules/exam-prep-protocol.md`).
## When to use
- User asks to add/edit/query content in an Obsidian vault
- User asks to install or configure Obsidian plugins
- User wants to integrate Claude Code with Obsidian via Local REST API or CLI
- User wants to automate ongoing capture/organization/retrieval
- User wants to design a PKM workflow
- User asks to build a course/exam/study vault (see `references/academic-vault.md`)
## Checkpoint-based vault build (greenfield, large generation tasks)
When generating a vault from scratch or filling in many chapters/sections at once, never generate everything upfront. Use progressive validation:
1. First chapter / first section — then STOP
2. User review — approve format, structure, quality
3. Remaining chapters / sections — continue with validated pattern
4. Final
