note-creator (Orchestrator Skill)
Purpose
Given a short user prompt (and optional raw context), this skill MUST:
- Classify intent and decide a minimal artifact plan (default: md only)
- Select a destination folder and stable naming
- Invoke underlying format skills with runtime context
- WRITE all generated artifacts to disk following a strict contract
This skill is an ORCHESTRATOR. Generating content without writing files is considered a FAILURE.
Dependencies
This skill MUST delegate format correctness to:
- obsidian-markdown/SKILL.md
- json-canvas/SKILL.md
- obsidian-bases/SKILL.md
Inputs
- user_prompt: a short sentence or paragraph describing what to record
- optional_context_files (optional): raw markdown or text provided by the user
Output Contract
CRITICAL: Output paths are relative to CURRENT WORKING DIRECTORY (CWD)
- The CWD when the skill is invoked is the base (e.g.,
F:/Project/Obsidian/) - All outputs MUST be written to:
<cwd>/outputs/<folder>/<title>/ - DO NOT write to the skill's own directory
- When computing paths, always use the current working directory as the base
All outputs MUST be written to:
outputs///
- note.md (required)
- diagram.canvas (optional)
- table.base (optional)
- meta.json (required)
Rules:
- MUST come from rules/folders.md
- - Writing files is mandatory
Algorithm (Strict Execution Checklist)
1) Read Inputs
- Read user_prompt
- Read any optional_context_files
2) Classify Intent
Produce a STRICT classification JSON according to rules/classify.intent.md. The JSON MUST include:
- title
- folder
- diagram_type
- artifact_plan (must include "md")
- tags (3–8)
- properties (category, created, modified, source)
If the request is a COMPARISON and "base" is included, the JSON MUST ALSO include:
- base_mode = "comparison"
- comparison_items: an array of items to compare (slug + display_name + optional fields)
3) Compute Output Paths
- CRITICAL: Get the current working directory (CWD) first
- CWD is the directory where the user invoked the skill (e.g.,
F:/Project/Obsidian/) - Compute all paths as relative to CWD:
- root_dir = /outputs/// - note_path = /outputs///note.md - canvas_path = /outputs///diagram.canvas - base_path = /outputs///table.base - meta_path = /outputs///meta.json - compare_dir = /outputs///compare/ (comparison only)
- When writing files, use these full paths or ensure you're in the CWD
4) Generate and WRITE note.md (MANDATORY)
- Invoke obsidian-markdown skill using templates/note.md.prompt
- The invocation MUST include runtime context:
- title - folder - tags - properties - root_dir (/outputs///)
- The generated markdown MUST be written to disk at: /outputs///note.md
5) Generate and WRITE diagram.canvas (CONDITIONAL)
- If "canvas" is present in artifact_plan:
- Select ONE canvas layout template based on diagram_type and content intent: - If diagram_type == "sequence": - If the note intent is documentation, explanation, sharing, usage instructions, or public-facing content: -> use templates/canvas.sequence.compact.md - Otherwise (internal notes, debugging, design reasoning): -> use templates/canvas.sequence.detailed.md - If diagram_type == "flowchart": -> use templates/canvas.flowchart.md - If diagram_type == "artifact": -> use templates/canvas.artifact.md - If diagram_type == "architecture": -> use templates/canvas.architecture.md - If diagram_type == "none": -> DO NOT generate diagram.canvas (remove "canvas" from artifact_plan) - Invoke json-canvas skill using templates/canvas.prompt - The invocation MUST include runtime context: - title - folder - diagram_type - artifact_plan - root_dir (/outputs///) - canvas_template (the FULL CONTENT of the selected templates/canvas.*.md) - The generated canvas MUST be written to disk at: /outputs///diagram.canvas
6) Generate and WRITE table.base (CONDITIONAL)
- If "base" is present in artifact_plan: 6.1 Comparison Base Mode (PREFERRED for comparisons) 6.2 Generic Base Mode (fallback)
- If base_mode == "comparison" AND comparison_items is present and non-empty: - IMPORTANT: - If base_mode == "comparison" BUT comparison_items is missing or empty, this is a classification error. - In this case, DO NOT fall back to generic base generation. - The execution MUST either: - FAIL explicitly; OR - Remove "base" from artifact_plan and continue with md-only output. 1. CREATE compare_dir: /outputs///compare/ 2. For EACH item in comparison_items: - Generate ONE markdown file: /outputs///compare/.md - Use templates/compare.item.md as a strict template. - Fill frontmatter fields so Base can render columns: - item_type: "skill" - name - 输入 - 输出 - 定位 - 产物 - 边界 - tags (include "对比") - source/created/modified (from properties) - IMPORTANT: - These compare/*.md files are the "rows" of the Base. - Do NOT put compare rows into note.md only; they MUST exist as files. 3. Invoke obsidian-bases skill using templates/base.comparison.prompt The invocation MUST include runtime context: - title - folder - root_dir (/outputs///) - compare_dir (/outputs///compare/) - properties (category/created/modified/source) 4. The generated base MUST be written to disk at: /outputs///table.base - Else IF base_mode is NOT "comparison": - Invoke obsidian-bases skill using templates/base.prompt - The invocation MUST include runtime context: - title - folder - artifact_plan - root_dir (/outputs///) - The generated base MUST be written to disk at: /outputs///table.base
7) Generate and WRITE meta.json (MANDATORY)
- Generate meta.json according to rules/output.contract.md
- Include comparison metadata when applicable:
- base_mode - compare_dir - comparison_items
- Write meta.json to: /outputs///meta.json
8) Execution Summary
- Output a short summary listing generated files and their final paths
File Writing Rules (CRITICAL)
- Every generated artifact MUST be written to disk.
- Outputting content only in the conversation is NOT allowed.
- Missing file writes invalidate the execution.
- Always write files relative to the current working directory, not the skill directory
Hard Constraints
General
- artifact_plan MUST include "md"
- folder MUST be from rules/folders.md
- tags count MUST be 3–8 and include at least one domain tag
note.md
Must include:
- YAML frontmatter (tags, category, created, modified)
- Summary section
- ≥3 structured sections
- Examples (code blocks when applicable)
- ≥5 Caveats / Notes
diagram.canvas (if generated)
- Text nodes MUST use "type":"text" and the "text" field
- MUST NOT use "label" for text nodes
- ≥6 nodes, ≥5 edges
- Must include: user request, intent classification, and persistence to root_dir
table.base (if generated)
- For comparison mode:
- MUST scope sources to compare_dir ONLY - MUST include only markdown files - MUST prefer frontmatter columns from compare/*.md
- For generic mode:
- MUST scope sources to root_dir only - MUST exclude non-markdown files
