Foam is a free, open-source personal knowledge management system using standard Markdown files with wikilinks. ### Quick Reference Wikilinks: [[note-name]] — connect notes bidirectionally Embeds: ![[note-name]] — include content from other notes Backlinks: Automatically discovered connections to current note Tags: #tag or frontmatter tags: [tag1, tag2] Daily Notes: Alt+D or command "Foam: Open Daily Note" ### Configuration Copy config.json.template to config.json and edit to taste: { "foam_root": "/path/to/your/foam-workspace", "default_template": "new-note", "default_notes_folder": "notes", "daily_note_folder": "journals", "author": "Your Name", "wikilinks": { "title_stopwords": ["home", "index", "readme", "draft", "template"], "suffixes": ["-hub"], "min_length": 3 }, "tags": { "editorial_stopwords": ["notes", "note", "foam", "markdown", "file", "page", "section"] } } Location: config.json in the skill directory (next to SKILL.md). ### Config keys KeyTypeDefaultDescriptionfoam_rootstring"" (auto-detect)Path to your Foam workspacedefault_templatestring"new-note"Template for new notesdefault_notes_folderstring"notes"Subfolder for new notesdaily_note_folderstring"journals"Subfolder for daily notesauthorstring""Author name for note creationwikilinks.title_stopwordslist[]Note titles to never match as wikilinks (e.g. "home", "index", "todo").

It presents them as a numbered list: 1. Line 12, col 8 Text: "machine learning" Link to: [[machine-learning]] Context: ...working on machine learning projects... Wikilink formats: Default: [[target]] — clean, simple links With --with-aliases: [[target|display text]] — preserves original text as alias Respond with: Numbers to implement (e.g., 1 3 5) all to apply all suggestions none to cancel ### suggest_tags.py Suggest tags for a note based on content and existing tags in the archive: python3 scripts/suggest_tags.py my-note.md # Interactive mode python3 scripts/suggest_tags.py my-note.md --apply all # Add all suggested python3 scripts/suggest_tags.py my-note.md --apply existing # Only existing tags python3 scripts/suggest_tags.py my-note.md --frontmatter # Add to frontmatter The script: Extracts keywords from note content Finds matching existing tags (with usage counts) Suggests new tags based on content analysis Presented as numbered list with two sections: Existing Tags — Already used in your archive New Suggestions — Extracted from current note content Respond with: Numbers (e.g., 1 3 5) all — all suggestions existing — only existing tags new — only new suggestions none — cancel Or type custom tags: #mytag #project ### delete_note.py Delete notes with optional backup and automatic backlink handling: python3 scripts/delete_note.py "Old Note" # Interactive deletion python3 scripts/delete_note.py "Old Note" --force # Skip confirmation python3 scripts/delete_note.py "Old Note" --backup # Move to .foam/trash/ python3 scripts/delete_note.py "Old Note" --fix-links # Remove wikilinks from other notes Features: Backup mode: Moves note to .foam/trash/ instead of permanent deletion Backlink detection: Shows which notes link to the one being deleted Link fixing: Automatically removes wikilinks from other notes Confirmation: Prompts before deletion (skip with --force) ### rename_note.py Rename notes and automatically update all wikilinks: python3 scripts/rename_note.py "Old Name" "New Name" # Interactive rename python3 scripts/rename_note.py "Old Name" "New Name" --force # Skip confirmation Features: Automatic wikilink updates: Finds and updates all [[old-name]] references File rename: Changes filename from old-name.md to new-name.md Title preservation: Keeps note content intact, only updates links Confirmation: Shows affected notes before proceeding ### When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Creating or editing notes in a Foam workspace Working with wikilinks, backlinks, or the knowledge graph Analyzing note relationships and connections Setting up or configuring Foam templates Working with daily notes or tags Publishing Foam workspaces to static sites ### Foam Workspace Structure foam-workspace/ ├── .vscode/ │ ├── extensions.json # Recommended extensions │ └── settings.json # VS Code settings ├── .foam/ │ └── templates/ # Note templates (.md and .js) ├── journals/ # Daily notes (default location) ├── attachments/ # Images and files ├── *.md # Your notes └── foam.json (optional) # Foam configuration ### Wikilinks Create connections between notes using double brackets: See also [[related-concept]] for more information. Autocomplete with [[ + type note name Navigate with Ctrl+Click (or Cmd+Click on Mac) Create new notes by clicking non-existent links Link to sections: [[note-name#Section Title]] See references/wikilinks.md for complete documentation. ### Backlinks Backlinks show which notes reference the current note — discovered automatically by Foam. Access via: Command palette: "Explorer: Focus on Connections" Shows forward links, backlinks, or both Use backlinks for: Finding unexpected connections between ideas Identifying hub concepts (notes with many backlinks) Building context around ideas across domains See references/backlinks.md for complete documentation. ### Tags Organize notes beyond wikilinks: # Inline tags #machine-learning #research #in-progress # Frontmatter tags --- tags: [machine-learning, research, in-progress] --- Hierarchical: #programming/python Browse in Tag Explorer panel Search: "Foam: Search Tag" See references/tags.md for complete documentation. ### Daily Notes Quick daily journaling: Shortcut: Alt+D Command: "Foam: Open Daily Note" Snippets: /today, /yesterday, /tomorrow Template: .foam/templates/daily-note.md See references/daily-notes.md for complete documentation. ### Templates Customize note creation. Foam looks for templates in .foam/templates/. To initialize starter templates: python3 scripts/init_templates.py This copies official Foam templates to your workspace: new-note.md — Default template daily-note.md — Daily notes template your-first-template.md — Example with VS Code snippets Markdown templates (.md): --- foam_template: filepath: '$FOAM_CURRENT_DIR/$FOAM_SLUG.md' --- # $FOAM_TITLE Created: $FOAM_DATE_YEAR-$FOAM_DATE_MONTH-$FOAM_DATE_DATE $FOAM_SELECTED_TEXT JavaScript templates (.js) — for smart, context-aware templates. See references/templates.md for complete documentation. ### Creating a New Note When creating notes programmatically (not via VS Code), always read the workspace template in .foam/templates/new-note.md first and follow its structure exactly. In VS Code: Use "Foam: Create New Note" for default template Use "Foam: Create New Note From Template" to choose template Or click a non-existent wikilink [[new-note]] ### Finding Note Relationships Backlinks: Check Connections panel for linked notes Graph View: Command "Foam: Show Graph" for visual network Tag Explorer: Browse notes by tag ### Working with Embeds Include content from other notes: ![[glossary]] See the full definition above. ### Publishing Foam can publish to static sites: GitHub Pages (built-in template) Netlify Vercel GitLab Pages Custom static site generators (Gatsby, MkDocs, etc.) See recipes in Foam documentation for publishing options. ### Foam vs Obsidian FeatureFoamObsidianWikilinks[[note]][[note]]Embeds![[note]]![[note]]PlatformVS CodeDedicated appPlugin ecosystemMinimal (VS Code extensions)ExtensiveFile formatStandard MarkdownMarkdown with extensionsConfiguration.vscode/settings.json.obsidian/ folderPriceFreeFreemium Both use the same core linking syntax.
