- description
- Convert an existing Obsidian Vault into an agent-ready ExpertPack. Restructures vault content for EK optimization, RAG retrieval, and OpenClaw integration. Creates a copy — source vault is never modified. Use when: a user wants to make their Obsidian Vault usable by AI agents, convert OV to EP, drop their vault into OpenClaw as a knowledge pack, or make their notes RAG-ready. Triggers on: 'obsidian to expertpack', 'obsidian vault to ep', 'convert obsidian', 'OV to EP', 'obsidian agent ready', 'make my vault ai ready', 'obsidian knowledge pack', 'obsidian rag'.

Obsidian Vault → ExpertPack
Converts an Obsidian Vault into a structured ExpertPack — agent-ready, RAG-optimized, and OpenClaw-compatible. Source vault is never modified; output is a clean copy.

Step 1: Analyze the Vault
Before running the script, inspect the vault:
- List the top-level directories — these map to EP content sections
- Identify the pack type based on structure:
- journals/, daily/, people/, mind/ → person - concepts/, workflows/, troubleshooting/, faq/ → product - phases/, checklists/, decisions/, steps/ → process - Mix of the above → composite
- Note any
templates/or_templates/folders — exclude from conversion - Estimate content volume and identify the highest-EK directories
The script auto-detects type (--type auto) but verify your judgment matches before proceeding. See references/migration-guide.md for the full decision tree.
Step 2: Run the Conversion Script
python3 /path/to/ExpertPack/skills/obsidian-to-expertpack/scripts/convert.py \
/path/to/obsidian-vault \
--output ~/expertpacks/my-pack-slug \
--name "My Pack Name" \
[--type auto|person|product|process|composite] \
[--dry-run]Always do a --dry-run first to preview what will be converted.
What the script produces:
- All
.mdfiles copied with EP frontmatter (title,type,tags,pack,created) - Inline
#hashtagsextracted into frontmattertags: - Dataview query blocks stripped (computed views, not knowledge)
[text](file.md)links converted to[[wikilinks]]manifest.yaml,overview.md,glossary.mdat pack root_index.mdin each content directory.obsidian/config copied (pack opens in Obsidian immediately)
For detailed handling of Obsidian-specific patterns (nested tags, daily notes, templates, attachments): read references/migration-guide.md.
Step 3: Validate & Fix
# Fix common issues first
python3 /path/to/ExpertPack/tools/validator/ep-doctor.py ~/expertpacks/my-pack-slug --apply
# Must reach 0 errors
python3 /path/to/ExpertPack/tools/validator/ep-validate.py ~/expertpacks/my-pack-slug --verbose
# Fix any broken wikilinks (cross-vault references)
python3 /path/to/ExpertPack/tools/validator/ep-fix-broken-wikilinks.py ~/expertpacks/my-pack-slug --applyDo not proceed until ep-validate reports 0 errors.
Step 4: Agent-Assisted Enhancement
After validation, enhance retrieval quality:
- Lead summaries — add a 1-3 sentence blockquote at the top of the 5-10 most important files
- Glossary — populate
glossary.mdwith domain-specific terms (this is Tier 1 — always loaded) - Propositions — create
propositions/with atomic factual statements extracted from high-EK files - EK triage — identify low-EK files (general knowledge) and compress or remove them
- File size — split files >3KB on
##header boundaries
Step 5: Configure RAG in OpenClaw
Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"agents": {
"defaults": {
"memorySearch": {
"extraPaths": ["/path/to/your/converted-pack"]
}
}
}
}Restart OpenClaw after config change. The pack is now searchable in every session.
Step 6: Measure EK Ratio
clawhub install expertpack-evalRun evals to score how much esoteric knowledge the pack contains vs. what the model already knows. Target EK ratio >0.6 for high-value packs.
