# Obsidian Vault CRUD

**Status:** Active
**Author:** Richard Fremmerlid
**Domain:** Obsidian Integration
**Depends On:** `obsidian-markdown-mastery` (WP05)

## Core Mandate

This skill provides the **disk I/O layer** for all agent interactions with the Obsidian Vault. It does NOT handle syntax parsing (that belongs to `obsidian-markdown-mastery`). Instead, it ensures that every file write is:

1. **Atomic** — via POSIX `os.rename()` from a `.tmp` staging file
2. **Locked** — via an advisory `.agent-lock` file at the vault root
3. **Conflict-aware** — via `mtime` comparison before/after read
4. **Lossless** — via `ruamel.yaml` for frontmatter (never PyYAML)

## Available Commands

### Read a Note
```bash
python ./vault_ops.py read --file <path>
```

### Create a Note
```bash
python ./vault_ops.py create --file <path> --content <text> [--frontmatter key=value ...]
```

### Update a Note
```bash
python ./vault_ops.py update --file <path> --content <text>
```

### Append to a Note
```bash
python ./vault_ops.py append --file <path> --content <text>
```

## Safety Guarantees

### Atomic Write Protocol
1. Write content to `<target>.agent-tmp`
2. Verify the `.agent-tmp` file was written completely
3. `os.rename('<target>.agent-tmp', '<target>')` — atomic on POSIX
4. If any step fails, the `.agent-tmp` is cleaned up

### Advisory Lock Protocol
- Before any write batch: create `<vault_root>/.agent-lock`
- After write batch completes: remove `.agent-lock`
- Other agents check for `.agent-lock` before writing
- This is advisory (does not block Obsidian UI)

### Concurrent Edit Detection
- Capture `os.stat(file).st_mtime` before reading
- Before writing, check `st_mtime` again
- If mtime changed → another process edited the file → **ABORT**

### Frontmatter Handling
- Uses `ruamel.yaml` (NOT `PyYAML`) to preserve comments, indentation, and array styles
- Ensures Dataview and Obsidian Properties remain intact
