2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Wiki Capture

Append raw captures to today's Obsidian daily note.

Vault

Path: ~/Notes
Vault name: auto-detected by obsidian CLI

Steps

1. Ask the User

Prompt the user for what they want to capture:

A quick thought?
A link?
Notes on a topic?
Something else?

Wait for their response before proceeding.

2. Read the Current Daily Note

Get the daily note path and read its contents:

obsidian daily:path

Then read the file:

read path="<output from daily:path>"

This shows the existing structure so you can append content that fits contextually.

3. Determine the Right Format

Based on the existing content, decide how to append:

If the note is empty or has a loose list: append as bullet items
If there's a relevant section (e.g., ## Links, ## Thoughts): append under that section
If the content is a new topic: append with a new heading (e.g., ## Topic Name)

4. Append via Obsidian CLI

obsidian daily:append content="..."

Examples by context:

# Adding to an existing list
obsidian daily:append content="- https://example.com/article about parser combinators"

# Adding under a specific section ( Obsidian appends at end; restructure if needed )
obsidian daily:append content="\n## New Topic\n- First thought\n- Second thought"

# Multiple items
obsidian daily:append content="\n- Task: review PR #42\n- Idea: automate wiki linting"

5. Confirm

Read back the daily note to verify the append looks right:

obsidian daily:read

Notes

This writes to the raw layer. Content will be processed into the wiki later via wiki-ingest.
The obsidian CLI requires the Obsidian app to be running.
For images or files captured on mobile: describe them in text if you can't embed directly.
