What Migrate Tags does

Migrate Tags moves body-level #hashtags into frontmatter tags lists so Obsidian Bases can filter on them. Use it to scan files, preview changes, and update one note or a whole folder without touching notes that already have tags.

Migrate Tags is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Migrate Tags comes from a repository tagged claude-code, cursor, obsidian and opencode.

Excerpt

Migrate Tags

Usage

/migrate-tags — Scan vault, present a migration plan, prompt to confirm.
/migrate-tags <path> — Migrate a single file.
/migrate-tags <folder> — Migrate all .md files under a folder.
/migrate-tags --dry-run — Show what would change without writing.

Why this skill exists

Obsidian supports two tag styles:

Body tags: #frontend written inline in note text.
Frontmatter tags: a YAML tags: list at the top of the file.

Bases can filter on the frontmatter style (file.hasTag("frontend")) but not the body style reliably. Migrating one to the other makes tags queryable in Bases views — e.g. a "People with #mobile tag" view becomes trivial once everyone's @Name.md has tags: [mobile].
