Metadata Validator

Manifest-driven metadata validation, auto-fix, and field picker for notes.

  • Overview
  • Scorecard
  • Updates26

Manifest-driven metadata validation for Obsidian. Put manifest.md files in a schemes/ folder — they inherit down the tree. Notes get the schema of the closest manifest above them.

└── schemes/
    ├── manifest.md          ← base schema
    ├── sources/
    │   ├── manifest.md      ← extends base

    │       └── manifest.md  ← extends sources
