obsidian-cli

Use the obsidian CLI with commands like obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello" and obsidian append file="My Note" content="New line". Target files with file= for wikilink-style resolution or path= for exact vault paths.

Run obsidian search query="search term" limit=10 to find matching notes. Add vault="Vault Name" as the first parameter to target a specific vault instead of the most recently focused one.

No, the obsidian CLI requires a running Obsidian instance to execute commands. It communicates with the open app, so vault operations and developer commands fail if Obsidian is closed.

Run obsidian plugin:reload id=my-plugin after code changes, then check obsidian dev:errors for failures. Verify behavior with obsidian dev:screenshot, obsidian dev:dom, and obsidian dev:console level=error.

Yes, use obsidian eval code="app.vault.getFiles().length" to execute JavaScript in the app context. This is useful for inspecting vault state and testing plugin logic without writing a full command.
