create_folder_tool
Create new folders in Obsidian vaults with automatic parent folder generation to establish organizational hierarchies and prepare project structures.
Instructions
Create a new folder in the vault, including all parent folders in the path.
When to use:
Setting up project structure in advance
Creating deep folder hierarchies (e.g., "Research/Studies/2024")
Creating archive folders before moving notes
Establishing organizational hierarchy
Preparing folders for future content
When NOT to use:
If you're about to create a note in that path (folders are created automatically)
For temporary organization (just create notes directly)
Note: Will create all necessary parent folders. For example, "Research/Studies/2024" will create Research, Research/Studies, and Research/Studies/2024 if they don't exist.
Returns: Creation status with list of folders created and placeholder file path
