Atomic Literature Note

Create atomic literature notes or concept notes in the Obsidian ecology vault. Trigger for atomic notes when the user says "make a note for", "create an atomic note", "summarise this paper for Obsidian", "add this paper to my vault", or provides a citekey, paper title, author, or PDF with the intent to file it. Trigger for concept notes when the user says "create a concept note for [term]", "make a concept note", "add [concept] to my vault as a concept note", or similar. Reads metadata and highlights from Zotero MCP or directly from a PDF (atomic notes), or scans the vault for papers using the concept (concept notes). Also runs a concept-home follow-up pass — trigger on "suggest concept homes for [note]", "which concept notes does this paper belong under", or "run the concept-home pass" — proposing which existing concept notes should list an already-embedded atomic note. Do NOT trigger for general paper summaries or literature searches — this skill creates persisted Obsidian files.
