Overview
Teaches your AI agent to use the Obsidian CLI, the command line interface built into the Obsidian app. With Obsidian open, the agent can read and create notes, search your vault, add tasks to your daily note, set properties and list backlinks or tags. It also covers plugin and theme development, such as reloading a plugin and reading its errors. Made by Obsidian's CEO for Obsidian users who want an agent to work with their vault directly.
It works through Obsidian's own command line interface, so the agent uses the app's search, templates and daily notes instead of editing files blind.

From the creator's documentation.
| Output | What it is | Reads |
|---|---|---|
| Search | Search vault content and list the matching notes | Your vault |

| Create and append | Create notes from templates and add lines to existing notes | Your vault |

Good to know
Let an agent search a vault and add a task to today's daily note through the running Obsidian app. The skill lists the CLI syntax for reading, creating, searching and editing notes, plus developer commands for plugins and themes.
Limits
- The CLI needs the Obsidian 1.12 installer or newer, switched on in Settings, and the app running; the first command opens Obsidian if it is closed.
- The same commands can overwrite notes and run JavaScript inside the app. Start with read-only commands such as search and read.
