SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides a single, Obsidian-aware workflow for creating and editing Obsidian-flavored Markdown, defining and maintaining Bases (database views), and automating vault operations via the Obsidian CLI so users avoid manual, error-prone edits and inconsistent vault structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Obsidian Flavored Markdown: Compose and validate notes with frontmatter properties, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, math, diagrams, tags, and comments to ensure correct rendering and link resilience.
  • Bases (Database Views): Create and edit .base files with filters, formulas, views (table, cards, list, map), ordering, grouping, and summaries to surface tasks, projects, and metrics across a vault.
  • Obsidian CLI & Plugin Tools: Read, create, append, search, and target files or vaults via the obsidian CLI; support plugin and theme workflows including reload, eval, errors, screenshots, and console inspection.
  • Use Case Example: Aggregate active project tasks from many notes into an "Active Tasks" Base, compute days until due with formulas, and update notes automatically via the CLI while reloading a development plugin to reflect UI changes.

Quick Start

Open your vault and instruct the obsidian skill to create a new note titled "Project Plan" with appropriate frontmatter tags, wikilinks to related notes, and a Base that lists active tasks.
