obsidian-person
The `/obsidian-person` command creates or updates a person note in an Obsidian vault by extracting information from the current conversation. It searches for existing matching notes (handling typos and partial names), then either updates the found note or creates a new structured note in the People folder with full metadata including role, company, relationship strength, and interaction date. The command also logs the interaction in the daily note and updates any People index file present in the vault.

Use the obsidian-second-brain skill. Execute `/obsidian-person $ARGUMENTS`: The argument is a person's name - handle typos and partial matches. 1. Read `_CLAUDE.md` first if it exists in the vault root 2. Search the vault for an existing note matching the name (fuzzy - handle typos and partial names) 3. If found: confirm with user, then update with new info from conversation 4. If not found: create `People/Full Name.md` with full frontmatter schema 5. Fill in everything inferable from the conversation: role, company, context, relationship strength, last interaction date 6. Log the interaction in today's daily note 7. If a People index file exists, add or update the entry there If the name has a typo or is approximate, search the vault, show what was found, and confirm before proceeding. Never silently create a note with a misspelled name. --- **AI-first rule:** Every note created or updated by this command MUST follow `references/ai-first-rules.md` - `## For future Claude` preamble, rich frontmatter (`type`, `date`, `tags`, `ai-first: true`, plus type-specific fields), recency markers per external claim, mandatory `[[wikilinks]]` for every person/project/concept referenced, sources preserved verbatim with URLs inline, and confidence levels where applicable. The vault is for future-Claude retrieval - not human reading. **Anti-fabrication:** Search exhaustively before claiming any note, person, or file is absent - false absence is the most common failure mode - and never invent facts, entities, or dates (mark unknowns as `TBD`). See the anti-fabrication and search-completeness hard rules in `references/ai-first-rules.md`.
