MOC Update After New Note

Find the Maps of Content (MOCs) that should link to a newly created note and suggest the additions.

Workflow

Identify the new note — Path follows the skill invocation. If not provided, ask.
Semantic MOC search — Call obsidian_rag_query with the note title as query, limit: 10. Flag results that are MOC-style notes (path contains "MOC", filename ends in "-MOC", or type: moc frontmatter).
Keyword fallback — Call obsidian_search_notes with key terms from the note title to catch MOCs that aren't yet indexed.
Present suggestions — For each candidate MOC, show:
- The MOC path
- Which heading the link should go under (if readable)
- A proposed link line: - [[NoteName]] — one-line description
Append on confirmation — Call obsidian_insert_at_heading (preferred) or obsidian_append_note to add the link. Never edit without user approval.

Arguments

New note path: /moc-update Engineering/AuthPatterns.md

Tips

If the vault has no MOCs yet, offer to create a starter one at MOCs/<Topic>-MOC.md
Daily Notes are not MOCs — skip them in results
