Cursor as Obsidian vault assistant
Cursor reads the author's whole Obsidian vault, reviews note structure, writes daily done notes from work outside Obsidian, and answers questions about their notes.
The author says the setup saves hours every week and keeps daily notes consistent, though no measured figures are given.
Overview
How it was set up
Cursor is given access to the full Obsidian vault. The author asks it to check notes, suggest links, log work, and query note properties.
Worth knowing
The author reviews every suggestion before applying it. Time saved is self-reported with no numbers, and Cursor is not strictly required.
A prompt to start from
Review the structure of my notes in [vault folder]. Suggest missing links, better tags, and inconsistent frontmatter, but do not create new notes.Written by Agentic Feats from the source. Not the author's exact prompt.
