🔴 Mandatory Tool Selection Rules (CRITICAL)

ALL file operations must use Obsidian MCP tools. NO EXCEPTIONS.

• ❌ NEVER use Write tool for any file operation
• ❌ NEVER use Edit tool for any file operation
• ❌ NEVER use Bash for file I/O (echo, cat, sed, etc.)
• ✅ MUST use Obsidian MCP tools: obsidian_append_content, obsidian_patch_content, obsidian_get_file_contents, obsidian_simple_search, obsidian_complex_search, obsidian_delete_file, obsidian_get_periodic_note
• ✅ SHOULD use obsidian-markdown skill for complex formatting and frontmatter management

Before any file operation:

1. Check target file path is in Obsidian vault (e.g., Work/Projects/..., Work/Meetings/..., DailyNote/...)
2. Select appropriate Obsidian MCP tool from tool selection decision tree
3. Execute operation
4. Verify result using obsidian_get_file_contents or search tools

Reference: See references/tool-selection.md for complete decision tree and operation scenarios.

🔴 Project Query Rules (Required Reading)

When user mentions any project, follow this hierarchy:

1. Query Obsidian first — Search in Work/Projects/[ProjectName].md using obsidian_simple_search or obsidian_get_file_contents
2. Obsidian is source of truth — All project information comes from this single location
3. Do NOT query Things — Never search Things for same-named projects
4. Do NOT query other sources — Never search DailyNote or other Obsidian directories for project info

Exception: If project note not found in Obsidian, ask user if they want to create one.

Prohibited queries:

• ❌ Searching Things for project with same name
• ❌ Searching DailyNote for project information
• ❌ Assuming project exists elsewhere

Workflow:

1. Identify project name from user request
2. Search Work/Projects/ for matching project note
3. Read project note with obsidian_get_file_contents
4. Extract project description, Jira tickets, progress, deadlines
5. Base all responses on project note content

File Organization

Project Notes

• Path: Work/Projects/[ProjectName].md
• Template: assets/project.md
• Frontmatter fields: jira (ticket key), space (Jira project code), created, updated
• Purpose: Project overview, goals, progress tracking, related Jira tickets

Meeting Records

• Path: Work/Meetings/YYYY/MM/[meeting title].md
• Template: assets/meeting.md
• Frontmatter: title, date, attendees, project, status (Draft/Reviewed), tags
• Sections: Meeting Info, Background, Discussion, Decisions, Action Items, Follow-up

Daily Notes

• Access: Use obsidian_get_periodic_note(period="daily")
• Path: DailyNote/YYYY/MM/YYYY-MM-DD.md (Obsidian-managed)
• Purpose: Daily work log, progress, thoughts

Workflows

Creating Files

Use obsidian-markdown skill when creating new project or meeting notes:

1. Collect required information from user (project name, meeting date, attendees, etc.)
2. Load appropriate template (assets/project.md or assets/meeting.md)
3. Use obsidian-markdown skill to create file with proper formatting
4. Verify file created in correct Obsidian location using obsidian_get_file_contents

Do NOT use Write tool — Use Obsidian MCP tools exclusively.

Updating Files

When updating existing Obsidian files:

1. Read current file: obsidian_get_file_contents
2. Determine update location (specific heading, field, section)
3. Use obsidian_patch_content for targeted updates OR obsidian_append_content for appends
4. For formatting/complex edits, use obsidian-markdown skill
5. Verify changes: read file again with obsidian_get_file_contents

Finding Files

Use search tools to locate files when path is unknown:

• obsidian_simple_search — Fast text search (e.g., "project:MyProject")
• obsidian_complex_search — Advanced pattern matching when needed
• obsidian_get_periodic_note — Access periodic notes directly

Jira Ticket Management

All tickets managed through Jira MCP tools:

• Search and retrieve issues
• Create new tickets
• Update ticket status and transitions
• Add comments and time logs
• Link to project notes (store Jira key in project frontmatter: jira: "PROJ-123")

Todo Task Management

All tasks managed through Things MCP tools:

• Retrieve existing tasks
• Create new tasks in inbox
• Update task status
• Organize by project and area

Generating Daily Reports

Only execute when user explicitly requests: “Generate daily report”, “Create today’s report”, etc.

Follow this sequence (wait for user confirmation between steps):

1. Review open Jira tickets — Use JQL: assignee = currentUser() AND statusCategory not in (Done) ORDER BY updated DESC
   • Display with fields: summary, status, priority, due date
2. Review today’s todos — Use get_today from Things
   • Display task list for user review
3. Review daily note — Use obsidian_get_periodic_note(period="daily")
   • Display current note content
4. Generate report — Compile structured markdown:

   # Daily Report - YYYY-MM-DD
   
   ## Open Jira Tickets
   | Key | Summary | Status | Priority | Due |
   |-----|---------|--------|----------|-----|
   
   ## Today's Todos
   | Task | Notes | Project |
   |------|-------|---------|
   
   ## Daily Notes
   [summarized note content]
   

5. Append to daily note — Add report using obsidian_append_content

Important Implementation Notes

• Always use Obsidian MCP tools for any file operation (see tool selection decision tree in references/tool-selection.md)
• Use obsidian-markdown skill when creating files with special formatting or complex frontmatter
• Project notes are source of truth — Query Obsidian first, never assume project exists elsewhere
• Verify operations — Always confirm file created/updated correctly by reading back content
• No local file paths — All paths must be relative to Obsidian vault root
