A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Fix Obsidian orphans at the source. Auto-link orphan notes in any markdown vault that uses [[wikilinks]]. Frontmatter-only writes. Atomic. Idempotent.
Trigger this skill whenever the user wants to:
entities: [Microscopy] should become entities: [[[microscopy]]] if a microscopy hub exists.| Mode | What it does | Network? | Writes new notes? |
|---|---|---|---|
resolve | Plain-string entities/topics → canonical [[wikilinks]] via alias table | No | No |
anchor | True-orphan leaves → nearest existing hub by cosine similarity | No (local fastembed) | No |
mint | Cluster orphans → mint new concept hubs (EXPERIMENTAL) | LLM naming call | YES (new hubs) |
Every other PKM auto-link tool stops here because writing to a vault is dangerous. The orphan-rescue's contract is what makes it safe:
claude-ai vs claude-code).Every guard has a test in tests/ that locks it in.
# Dry-run first. ALWAYS dry-run first.
obsidian-orphan-rescue resolve --vault ~/Documents/MyVault --dry-run
# Approve, then write.
obsidian-orphan-rescue resolve --vault ~/Documents/MyVault# Dry-run writes a per-candidate audit TSV. Review BEFORE the live write.
obsidian-orphan-rescue anchor --vault ~/Documents/MyVault --dry-run
# Live.
obsidian-orphan-rescue anchor --vault ~/Documents/MyVault# Always dry-run. The mode writes new hub notes.
obsidian-orphan-rescue mint --vault ~/Documents/MyVault --experimental --dry-run
# Read the audit TSV. Read the minted-cluster names. Then if you approve:

Find out HOW many orphans you have and what the worst dimension is.obsidian-orphan-rescue resolve to convert plain-string entities to canonical wikilinks.anchor.This skill ships in the obsidian-pkm-skills monorepo. You need two things: the obsidian-orphan-rescue CLI on your PATH, and the skill files where your agent looks for them.

Clone the monorepo once, then copy or symlink this skill's directory into your agent's skills folder. Symlinking lets a git pull update the skill in place:
git clone https://github.com/build-with-dhiraj/obsidian-pkm-skills ~/src/obsidian-pkm-skills
# Claude Code (swap the target for ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, or ~/.codex/skills):
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
ln -s ~/src/obsidian-pkm-skills/skills/obsidian-orphan-rescue ~/.claude/skills/obsidian-orphan-rescueThen ask your agent: "fix my obsidian orphans at ~/Documents/MyVault".
