ObsidianScripts

A collection of utility scripts for managing Obsidian vaults. These scripts automate common maintenance tasks, help with note organization, and can simplify vault management.

Scripts

• add_yaml_to_files_without_yaml.py: Generates/updates YAML front matter for Markdown files using OpenAI to analyze content.
• clean_done_tags_vault.py: Removes all #done tags from notes (with or without datetime information).
• convert_tags_to_wikilinks.py: Converts specific tags to wikilinks throughout a vault.
• duplicate_note_finder.py: Identifies markdown notes with identical filenames across different folders.
• find_missing_yaml.py: Scans vault for Markdown files without YAML front matter.
• fix_daily_navigation.py: Repairs broken navigation links in daily notes.
• migrate_noteplan_calendar_notes.py: Migrates calendar notes from NotePlan to Obsidian with proper formatting.
• organize_obsidian_attachments.py: Organizes attachment files into folders by type (audio, images, documents, videos).
• remove_backup_files.py: Cleans up backup (.bak) files in a vault.
• simplify_wikilinks.py: Converts full-path wikilinks to simple note name wikilinks (e.g., [[folder/note]] → [[note]]).
• tag_inventory.py: Creates an inventory of all unique tags, sorted by frequency of use.

Usage

Each script includes detailed documentation within its header. Scripts can be run directly from the command line:

python script_name.py [options]

Most scripts support a --dry-run option to preview changes without modifying files.

Note

These scripts were created for personal use but may be helpful to other Obsidian users. Always back up your vault before running scripts that modify files.
