Create a comprehensive location note in your Obsidian vault for: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

Step 1: Load Configuration

Read the plugin configuration from .claude/obsidian-location-notes.local.md to get:

• Vault path (required)
• Save location within vault

If configuration file missing or vault_path not set, inform user they need to create configuration file with vault_path field.

Step 2: Determine Location Type

If --type flag provided in arguments, use that type. Otherwise, ask user to select location type using AskUserQuestion:

• General (landmarks, POIs, attractions)
• Food (restaurants, cafes, dining)
• Photo Location (photography spots)
• Accommodation (campsites, hotels, lodging)

Step 3: Parse Input

Determine if input is:

• URL (starts with http:// or https://)
• File path (ends with .pdf or contains file system path)
• Location name (anything else)

Step 4: Launch Parallel Research

Use Task tool to launch TWO agents IN PARALLEL (single message with multiple Task calls):

1. Research Agent (based on location type selected):

   • general-location-researcher for General
   • food-location-researcher for Food
   • photo-location-researcher for Photo Location
   • accommodation-researcher for Accommodation

   Provide to agent:

   • Location input (name, URL, or PDF path)
   • Expected research fields based on template type
   • Instruction to gather minimum 5 sources

2. Coordinate Finder Agent:

   • coordinate-finder
   • Provide location name
   • Agent will use OpenStreetMap Nominatim API
   • Returns [latitude, longitude] or null if not found

Step 5: Wait for Agent Results

Both agents will return their results. Coordinate finder may return null if coordinates unavailable (acceptable).

Step 6: Assemble Note

Select appropriate template from:

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/general-location.md for General
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/food.md for Food
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/photo-location.md for Photo Location
• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/accommodation.md for Accommodation

Read the template using Read tool.

Fill template with research results:

• Country: Wikilink format '[[Country Name]]'
• Region: Wikilink format '[[Region Name]]'
• location: Array [latitude, longitude] from coordinate finder (omit if null)
• Source: Array of URLs from research
• image: URL or wikilink from research
• tags: Appropriate tag for type (map/food, map/photo-location, map/accommodation/campsite, map/other)
• Description: Detailed information from research
• Travel Information: Directions, parking, accessibility from research
• Type-specific fields: best_time for photo locations, etc.

Use location name as note title and filename (e.g., "Old Man of Storr.md").

Step 7: Create Note File

Write note to: <vault_path>/<save_location>/<Location Name>.md

Use Write tool to create the file.

Step 8: Validate Note

Launch the note-validator agent using Task tool to:

• Verify all required fields are populated
• Check YAML frontmatter syntax
• Confirm template structure followed
• Validate coordinate format (if present)

The validator will report issues and ask if they should be fixed.

Step 9: Report Success

Inform user:

• Note created successfully at file path
• Summary of information included
• Any warnings (e.g., coordinates not found, images not available)
• Validation results

Important Notes

• Load obsidian-formatting skill if working with Obsidian-specific syntax
• Load coordinate-lookup skill if troubleshooting geolocation
• Respect rate limits when calling Nominatim API (1 req/second)
• Source URLs must be in frontmatter Source array
• Wikilinks in frontmatter must be quoted: '[[Page]]'
• Location coordinates as array: [lat, lon]
• Gracefully handle missing data (coordinates, images)
• Show user progress as agents work
