Obsidian Attachment Cleaner

A skill that automatically finds and moves loose images/attachments from your Obsidian vault root to the designated Attachments folder.

When to Use

Trigger when user says:

• "Clean Obsidian"
• "Clean attachments"
• "整理附件"
• "Move images to attachments"
• "Obsidian 清理"

Features

• Auto-discovery: Finds loose files (.png, .jpg, .gif, .jpeg, .webp, .pdf, .docx)
• Safe move: Moves files to Attachments/ folder (creates if not exists)
• Dry run: Preview what will be moved before executing
• Detailed report: Shows exactly what was moved and where

Usage

Quick Clean (Auto-detect)

python obsidian_cleaner.py

Dry Run (Preview Only)

python obsidian_cleaner.py --dry-run

Specify Vault Path

python obsidian_cleaner.py --vault /path/to/Obsidian/Vault

Custom Attachments Folder

python obsidian_cleaner.py --attachments "My Attachments"

How It Works

1. Scans Obsidian vault root for loose attachment files
2. Checks if Attachments folder exists (creates if missing)
3. Moves each file to the Attachments folder
4. Reports what was moved and any errors

Configuration

Default vault path: ~/Documents/Obsidian Vault

Default attachments folder: Attachments/

Example Output

🔍 Scanning /Users/skin/Documents/Obsidian Vault for loose attachments...

📁 Found 3 files:
  ├── screenshot_20240101.png
  ├── photo.jpg
  └── diagram.gif

📦 Moving to Attachments/...

✅ Success!
  ├── screenshot_20240101.png → Attachments/screenshot_20240101.png
  ├── photo.jpg → Attachments/photo.jpg
  └── diagram.gif → Attachments/diagram.gif

🎉 3 files moved. Vault is now clean!

Notes

• Only moves files, doesn't delete anything
• Won't overwrite existing files (skips with warning)
• Case-insensitive file extension matching
• Safe to run multiple times
