Detect lost notes, broken links, duplicates, invalid properties, and incorrect classification before replacement of any real vault.

Result you can inspect now
What this proves: All five skills installed successfully. The markdown, bases, JSON Canvas, Defuddle, and Obsidian CLI package structures were inspected.
What it does not prove: A desktop-backed Obsidian CLI run, a real note migration, link-quality measurement, privacy review, or an end-to-end transformed vault.
- Five skills installed in 2.0 seconds
- The desktop-dependent Obsidian CLI was not available in the headless test environment
Known limits
- Only installation and package structure are verified today.
- The Obsidian CLI requires a desktop app and was not run in the headless environment.
- No real vault transformation, privacy review, or link-quality measurement has been completed.
- This path must run on a disposable vault copy until the end-to-end test passes.
Implementation pack
The pack is generated from this path record and the tested-skill source data. Install commands, commits, evidence status, handoffs, and limitations stay attached to the plan.
