can you find any notes in my home directory? I largely use .txt files and .md files, try to avoid txt and md files from programming languages and things like that


## claude.ai Context7
Use this server to fetch current documentation whenever the user asks about a library, framework, SDK, API, CLI tool, or cloud service -- even well-known ones like React, Next.js, Prisma, Express, Tailwind, Django, or Spring Boot. This includes API syntax, configuration, version migration, library-specific debugging, setup instructions, and CLI tool usage. Use even when you think you know the answer -- your training data may not reflect recent changes. Prefer this over web search for library docs.

Do not use for: refactoring, writing scripts from scratch, debugging business logic, code review, or general programming concepts.


- update-config: Use this skill to configure the Claude Code harness via settings.json. Automated behaviors ("from now on when X", "each time X", "whenever X", "before/after X") require hooks configured in settings.json - the harness executes these, not Claude, so memory/preferences cannot fulfill them. Also use for: permissions ("allow X", "add permission", "move permission to"), env vars ("set X=Y"), hook troubleshooting, or any changes to settings.json/settings.local.json files. Examples: "allow npm commands", "add bq permission to global settings", "move permission to user settings", "set DEBUG=true", "when claude stops show X". For simple settings like theme/model, suggest the /config command.
- keybindings-help: Use when the user wants to customize keyboard shortcuts, rebind keys, add chord bindings, or modify ~/.claude/keybindings.json. Examples: "rebind ctrl+s", "add a chord shortcut", "change the submit key", "customize keybindings".
- simplify: Review changed code for reuse, quality, and efficiency, then fix any issues found.
- fewer-permission-prompts: Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project .claude/settings.json to reduce permission prompts.
- loop: Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo). Omit the interval to let the model self-pace. - When the user wants to set up a recurring task, poll for status, or run something repeatedly on an interval (e.g. "check the deploy every 5 minutes", "keep running /babysit-prs"). Do NOT invoke for one-off tasks.
- schedule: Create, update, list, or run scheduled remote agents (routines) that execute on a cron schedule. - When the user wants to schedule a recurring remote agent, set up automated tasks, create a cron job for Claude Code, or manage their scheduled agents/routines. Also use when the user wants a one-time scheduled run ("run this once at 3pm", "remind me to check X tomorrow").
- claude-api: Build, debug, and optimize Claude API / Anthropic SDK apps. Apps built with this skill should include prompt caching. Also handles migrating existing Claude API code between Claude model versions (4.5 → 4.6, 4.6 → 4.7, retired-model replacements).
TRIGGER when: code imports `anthropic`/`@anthropic-ai/sdk`; user asks for the Claude API, Anthropic SDK, or Managed Agents; user adds/modifies/tunes a Claude feature (caching, thinking, compaction, tool use, batch, files, citations, memory) or model (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku) in a file; questions about prompt caching / cache hit rate in an Anthropic SDK project.
SKIP: file imports `openai`/other-provider SDK, filename like `*-openai.py`/`*-generic.py`, provider-neutral code, general programming/ML.
- init: Initialize a new CLAUDE.md file with codebase documentation
- review: Review a pull request
- security-review: Complete a security review of the pending changes on the current branch


I'll search your home directory for .txt and .md files, filtering out the noise from code repos and tooling.

Here's a summary of what I found that looks like actual personal notes, Sir Charles:

**Active note collections:**
- `~/Documents/logseq/journals/` — Logseq daily journals from 2023–2026 (most recent: 2026-02-20)
- `~/Documents/logseq/pages/` — Logseq topic pages: CICD, Dagger, Env Setup, IMDSv2, Useful, Vault, Vault Operator
- `~/Documents/notes/` — Notes with pages (aws-iam, jenkins, least-privilege, Jenkins Migration) and a personal journal entry (`personal/04_16_2024.md`)
- `~/Documents/noted/` — `example-notes-page.md`, `subcommands.md` (looks like a note-taking app)
- `~/TO_ORGANIZE/notes.md` and `notes_quickref.md` — loose notes needing organizing
- `~/TO_ORGANIZE/notes.old/` — dated notes from early 2022 (acronyms, misc, todo, urls, squads_pods, etc.)

**Archive/backup:**
- `~/Documents/notes.bak/` — backup of notes with journals (2022) and similar pages

**Loose/desktop files that look note-like:**
- `~/Desktop/IA migration errors.txt`, `entitlements_list.txt`
- `~/Downloads/argo-app-plan-20250409.txt`, `troubleshoot-app-update-failures.txt`, `data-analytic-plan-7-22.txt`
- `~/dev/prov-validate/TODO.md`
- `~/scripts/` — several `.txt` output files (CLDSUP-470, SRE-428 outputs, etc.)

**Heads up:** `~/cloud-portal-harbor-cd-creds.txt` and `~/Documents/Work/Auth Stuff/` contain what sound like credentials/recovery codes — worth making sure those are stored securely.


Found personal notes scattered across the home directory. The next step is deciding what to do with them — organize, consolidate, or just review specific files. (disable recaps in /config)


can you take those documents (exclude the Loose/desktop files that look note-like) and import them into Obsidian under @/Users/steve.briggs/Documents/obsidian/ ?

Let me first explore the Obsidian vault and the source note directories to understand what we're working with before touching anything.

Let me check a few more details before importing.


ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes/journals/2023/ && echo "---" && ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes/journals/2024/ && echo "---" && ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes/journals/Archive/ && echo "---" && ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes/Misc/

Check notes journal subdirs and Misc folder


ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes.bak/journals/ && echo "---" && ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes.bak/pages/

Check notes.bak structure


diff <(ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes/pages/) <(ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/notes.bak/pages/) && echo "pages identical" || echo "pages differ"

Check if notes and notes.bak pages are identical

Good, I now have the full picture. `notes/journals/Archive/2022/` is the most complete 2022 set. `notes/Misc/DB/` also has actual work notes. Here's the plan I'll execute:

```
obsidian/home/
├── Journals/2022/   ← Archive/2022 + notes.bak/journals + TO_ORGANIZE/notes.old dated
├── Journals/2023/   ← notes/journals/2023 + logseq 2023
├── Journals/2024/   ← notes/journals/2024 + logseq 2024
├── Journals/2025/   ← logseq 2025
├── Journals/2026/   ← logseq 2026
├── Pages/           ← logseq/pages + notes/pages + notes/Misc/DB
├── Personal/        ← notes/personal
└── Inbox/           ← TO_ORGANIZE loose notes + notes.old non-dated files

All done, Sir Charles. Here's what landed in your Obsidian vault at `Documents/obsidian/home/`:

| Folder | Files | Source |
|---|---|---|
| `Journals/2022` | 44 | notes Archive/2022 + notes.bak + TO_ORGANIZE/notes.old dated |
| `Journals/2023` | 24 | notes/journals/2023 + Logseq 2023 |
| `Journals/2024` | 18 | notes/journals/2024 + Logseq 2024 |
| `Journals/2025` | 5 | Logseq 2025 |
| `Journals/2026` | 4 | Logseq 2026 |
| `Pages` | 17 | Logseq pages + notes pages + DB notes (Query Engine, PGBoss Jobs) |
| `Personal` | 3 | notes/personal |
| `Inbox` | 10 | TO_ORGANIZE loose notes + notes.old reference files |

A few things to note: `notes.bak` was skipped as a duplicate (notes/ is the current version), the `noted/` directory was skipped as it's a CLI tool repo not personal notes, and `Inbox/` is where the unorganized stuff landed for you to sort when you feel like it.


Imported personal notes from Logseq, notes app, and TO_ORGANIZE into the Obsidian vault at Documents/obsidian/home with folders for Journals, Pages, Personal, and Inbox. Open Obsidian to verify everything looks right. (disable recaps in /config)


can you configure yourself to use the MCP Tools plugin for obsidian notes?


Let me check what's installed in Obsidian and look up how the MCP Tools plugin connects before touching any config.


ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/obsidian/home/.obsidian/plugins/ 2>/dev/null || echo "no plugins dir"
ls /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/obsidian/home/.obsidian/ 2>/dev/null

Check Obsidian vault plugin directory

Skill

Add an MCP server entry for the Obsidian MCP Tools plugin (by Jack Steam). The plugin has a bundled binary at /Users/steve.briggs/Documents/obsidian/home/.obsidian/plugins/mcp-tools/bin/mcp-server. This is a stdio-based MCP server. Add it to ~/.claude/settings.json under "mcpServers" with the key "obsidian". The existing settings.json only has hooks (Stop, Notification, PostToolUseFailure) — preserve those exactly.


Launching skill: update-config
