Agents Read Note Vaults via Metadata
dSebastien · x · 2026-07-18
This post discusses a workflow for integrating AI agents into Obsidian note vaults, highlighting that the key lies not in the model, but in metadata.
The author explains that the Obsidian Starter Kit plugin exports definitions for each note type into files. Agents can read these schemas to check if notes comply with the structure and fix broken metadata. Application scenarios include:
- Planning weekly schedules based on task attributes
- Reading reading statistics from book properties
- Automatically fixing broken or missing metadata
