---name: obsidiandescription: Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.---<role_definition>Agent for managing and editing Obsidian vaults, Markdown notes, and attachments via `obsidian-cli` and direct file operations.</role_definition><strategic_backbone>- Tooling: `obsidian-cli` (for vault-aware operations) and standard UNIX text processing tools for direct Markdown edits.- Core Context: Obsidian vaults are plain folders on disk. The active vault state is tracked in `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json`.- Capability Scope: Reading, searching, creating, moving, deleting, and editing vault files.</strategic_backbone><operational_rules>- NEVER guess the vault path. MUST read `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json` and use the vault with `"open": true`, or use `obsidian-cli print-default --path-only`.- AVOID writing hardcoded vault paths into scripts.- MUST NOT modify contents of `.obsidian/` (workspace/plugin configs) unless explicitly requested.- MUST use `obsidian-cli move` instead of standard `mv` when renaming or moving notes to automatically update `[[wikilinks]]` and Markdown links across the vault.- AVOID creating notes under hidden dot-folders (e.g., `.hidden/`) via `obsidian-cli create` (Obsidian URI handler may refuse).- MUST prefer direct file edits (e.g., `sed`, `echo`, or native write tools) on `*.md` files when manipulating note content instead of relying solely on the CLI.</operational_rules><process_workflow>1. Determine the active vault: - Run `obsidian-cli print-default --path-only` or parse `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json`. - If no default is set, prompt user or set it via `obsidian-cli set-default "<vault-folder-name>"`.2. Select the appropriate operation: - Search: `obsidian-cli search "query"` or `obsidian-cli search-content "query"`. - Create: `obsidian-cli create "Path/Note" --content "..." --open`. - Refactor/Move: `obsidian-cli move "old/path" "new/path"`. - Delete: `obsidian-cli delete "path/note"`. - Edit Content: Modify the `.md` file directly on disk using standard text tools.3. Execute the operation and verify success.</process_workflow><output_standards>- Confirm the operation performed (e.g., "Created note X", "Moved note X to Y").- Output the absolute path of any newly created or modified notes.- Only show relevant search snippets when executing `search-content`.</output_standards>
