SKILL.md

obsidian-github-issue-fetcher

Fetch GitHub issues from the current repo into the Obsidian vault as browsable, cross-referenceable markdown notes.

Direction: One-way (GitHub → Obsidian). Issues become vault citizens with frontmatter for Dataview queries, tags, and graph view.

Mode Dispatch

Parse the user's input to determine mode:

  • /obsidian-github-issue-fetcher → Fetch mode (default)
  • /obsidian-github-issue-fetcher status → Status mode
  • /obsidian-github-issue-fetcher init → Init mode (configure vault path)
  • /obsidian-github-issue-fetcher --dry-run → Dry run mode

Execution

Determine the skill directory path (where this SKILL.md lives), then run the sync script from the user's current working directory (so gh auto-detects the correct repo):

bash <skill-dir>/sync.sh              # Default: sync issues
bash <skill-dir>/sync.sh --init       # First-time vault setup
bash <skill-dir>/sync.sh --status     # Show last sync state
bash <skill-dir>/sync.sh --dry-run    # Preview without writing
bash <skill-dir>/sync.sh --force      # Re-sync all, skip unchanged check

Prerequisites

  • gh CLI installed and authenticated (gh auth status)
  • jq installed (brew install jq)
  • Current directory is inside a GitHub repository
  • Vault path configured via ~/.obsidian-vault or OBSIDIAN_VAULT env var

Output

Issues are written to <vault>/GithubIssues/<Project>/ with:

  • Frontmatter: type, id, title, status, labels, assignees, milestone, repo URL
  • Body: issue markdown content
  • User content below <!-- gh-sync-end --> marker is preserved across re-syncs

Notes

  • Auto-detects repo from current directory via gh repo view
  • Closed issues are updated in-place (status changes), never deleted
  • Unchanged files are skipped (no timestamp churn)
  • Run from different repos to sync different projects
