Questions, answered from the data.

What is the best note-taking skill?

Knap Markdown Templates from kepano/obsidian-skills ranks first of the 126 note-taking skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 49k GitHub stars, 2 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 986 tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Obsidian Markdown and Agent Carnet Notebook.

Which note-taking skills are official?

None yet. All 126 note-taking skills listed here come from community repositories; a skill counts as official when the product's own GitHub organization publishes it.

How are these skills ranked?

By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
