Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-wonderwhy-er-desktopcommandermcp-desktop-commander-overview/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-wonderwhy-er-desktopcommandermcp-desktop-commander-overviewAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.

Obsidian Vault
wonderwhy-er
Organize Obsidian vaults with MOCs, wikilinks, frontmatter/properties, dashboards, orphan-note checks, and cleanup workflows. Use ONLY when the user explicitly refers to Obsidian — by naming "Obsidian", an Obsidian "vault", or an Obsidian-specific feature such as wikilinks ("[[ ]]"), the Dataview or Bases plugins, or Obsidian Properties. Within that Obsidian context it covers creating Maps of Content, adding/fixing wikilinks, finding orphan notes, normalizing YAML frontmatter, generating Dataview/Bases dashboards, organizing folders, deduplicating or renaming notes, and preparing the vault for AI use. Do NOT use this skill for generic note-taking, Markdown, or knowledge-base requests that don't mention Obsidian.
