Obsidian

Obsidian Skill

Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes).

Vault Structure

• Notes: *.md (plain text Markdown)
• Config: .obsidian/ (workspace + plugin settings)
• Canvases: *.canvas (JSON)
• Attachments: images/PDFs in configured folder

When to use

• User wants to search Obsidian notes
• User wants to create/edit notes
• User wants to organize vault

How to execute

Find active vault

Obsidian tracks vaults in: ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json

Get default vault path:

obsidian-cli print-default --path-only

Set default vault

obsidian-cli set-default "<vault-folder-name>"

Search notes

By name:

obsidian-cli search "query"

By content:

obsidian-cli search-content "query"

Create note

obsidian-cli create "Folder/New note" --content "..." --open

Move/rename (safe refactor)

obsidian-cli move "old/path/note" "new/path/note"

This updates [[wikilinks]] across the vault.

Delete note

obsidian-cli delete "path/note"

Notes

• Prefer direct .md file edits when appropriate
• Obsidian will pick up changes automatically
• Avoid creating notes in hidden dot-folders
