create_folder_tool

Set up project structures or archive hierarchies in Obsidian by creating folders and parent directories. Ideal for organizing future content or deep folder paths. Includes option to generate placeholder files.

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., "Apple/Studies/J71P") - 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, "Apple/Studies/J71P" will create Apple, Apple/Studies, and Apple/Studies/J71P if they don't exist. Returns: Creation status with list of folders created and placeholder file path
