JSON Canvas files (.canvas) are visual diagram formats used in Obsidian to create mind maps, flowcharts, and structured notes. This Skill generates valid .canvas files by defining nodes (text, file, link, group), edges connecting them, positioning, sizing, and color attributes according to the JSON Canvas Spec 1.0, enabling portable diagrams across compatible applications.
JSON Canvas supports four node types: text nodes for labels, file nodes linking to documents, link nodes for external URLs, and group nodes for organizing related items. Each node includes positional data, sizing, and optional color attributes. Edges define relationships between nodes with z-index ordering to control layering.
Yes. This Skill enables agents to programmatically create and edit flowcharts and mind maps by constructing JSON Canvas structures with nodes, edges, groups, and color presets. It enforces schema validation, ensuring generated diagrams are compatible with Obsidian and other JSON Canvas-compliant tools.
This Skill enforces the JSON Canvas Spec 1.0 schema during creation and editing, validating node types, edge definitions, z-index ordering, and color presets automatically. It ensures files conform to the standard, preventing compatibility issues when importing into Obsidian or other applications.
JSON Canvas has a Basic implementation depth, meaning it covers core node and edge structures but may not support advanced scripting, complex asset management, or all optional extensions. For specialized use cases requiring custom scripts or extensive asset handling, additional tools may be necessary.
JSON Canvas follows Spec 1.0 for broad compatibility. This Skill generates standard-compliant .canvas files usable in Obsidian and other applications supporting the format. Interoperability depends on each tool's implementation of the JSON Canvas specification.
