What it does
Vault Health is an agent skill from benoror/obsidianos_work. Audit the vault for structural issues: unresolved wikilinks, orphan notes, dead-end notes, and Obsidian sync conflicts. Optional --fix flags create stubs or surface fixable issues.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: ObsidianOS - Work Vault. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/vault-health”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c7923e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vault Health loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Vault Health
Usage
/vault-health— Run all checks, present a triage report./vault-health unresolved— Only show unresolved[[wikilinks]]./vault-health orphans— Only show notes with no incoming links./vault-health deadends— Only show notes with no outgoing links./vault-health sync— Only check Obsidian sync conflicts./vault-health --fix-people— For unresolved[[@*]]links, prompt to createTeams/People/@Name.mdstubs in batch (delegates to/people-stubs).
Why this skill exists
The vault grows over time and accumulates structural debt:
- Dead
[[@Jane Doe]]links because the person file was never created. - Notes orphaned in subfolders, never linked from any project/team page.
- Sync conflicts when two devices edit the same file simultaneously.
This skill surfaces all of that in one pass.
Workflow
Step 1: Run all checks (or the subset requested)
| Check | Command | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
| Unresolved links | obsidian unresolved format=json | All [[link]] pointers with no target file. |
| Orphans | obsidian orphans format=json | Files no other file links to. |
| Deadends | obsidian deadends format=json | Files with no outgoing links. |
| Sync conflicts | obsidian sync:status format=json | Files with unresolved sync versions. |
Run only the requested subset; full sweep when no argument is given.
Step 2: Categorize and present
Group findings by type and severity:
## Unresolved wikilinks (12)
People-flavored ([[@*]]) — likely missing People files:
| # | Link | Referenced in (count) |
|---|------|----------------------|
| 1 | [[@Jane Doe]] | 6 meetings |
| 2 | [[@John Smith]] | 3 meetings |
Other unresolved:
| # | Link | Referenced in |
|---|------|---------------|
| 3 | [[+SomeNewTeam]] | 1 meeting |
## Orphan notes (4)
| # | Path | Created | Reason it might matter |
|---|------|---------|------------------------|
| 1 | Meetings/Engineering/Old Notes.md | 2026-01-12 | Probably needs to link to a project page |
## Deadend notes (8)
...
## Sync conflicts (0)
✓ All synced.For people-flavored unresolved links, sort by count descending — most-referenced unresolved person is most worth creating a file for.
Step 3: Offer fixes
- For
--fix-people(or after presenting): prompt the user to create People stubs in batch. Delegate to/people-stubswhich handles the actual creation. - For orphans/deadends: don't auto-fix. They might be intentional. Just surface.
- For sync conflicts: don't auto-fix. Sync conflicts need human judgment. Surface and tell the user to resolve via Obsidian's UI or
obsidian sync:history.
Step 4: Commit
See /commit. The skill itself doesn't write files (except via /people-stubs if invoked). If anything changed, commit message: chore(vault-health): create N people stubs from unresolved links (or similar).

Sync conflict resolution
When obsidian sync:status reports conflicts:
- List them with
obsidian sync:status format=json(path + version count per file). - For each conflicted file, surface in the report with these next-action hints:
- View versions:
obsidian sync:history file="<path>"— see what each side wrote. - Read a specific version:
obsidian sync:read file="<path>" version=<N>— preview without writing. - Restore:
obsidian sync:restore file="<path>" version=<N>— pick one side. - Manual merge (preferred when both sides have meaningful changes): open the file in Obsidian, use the Sync history pane to pick chunks.
- View versions:
- Never auto-restore — sync conflicts mean both sides have edits the user might want. Surface and let them choose.
Display sync conflicts at the top of the report (not last) — they're time-sensitive (the longer they sit, the more divergent the versions get).
Important Notes
- The skill is read-only by default — only
--fix-peopletriggers writes (and even then, via/people-stubswith confirmation). - Some orphans are intentional (e.g.
USER.md,README.md). Consider an exclusion list in a future iteration. - Sync conflict detection assumes Obsidian Sync is configured. If not, this check is a no-op (prints "✓ Sync not configured — skipped").
- Obsidian CLI requires the desktop app to be running. If it's not, the skill should print a helpful error.
