SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing notes for Obsidian requires syntax beyond standard Markdown—wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and comments—and getting these wrong produces broken links, unrendered embeds, or malformed frontmatter. This Skill provides the exact Obsidian-specific syntax rules so notes render correctly in reading view. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wikilinks and Embeds: Create internal links with [[Note]], heading and block references, and embed notes, images, PDFs, audio, and search results with ![[embed]] syntax. - Callouts and Properties: Add foldable, nested callouts of 13 supported types and define YAML frontmatter properties like tags, aliases, and cssclasses. - Use Case: When drafting a project note in an Obsidian vault, use this Skill to add frontmatter with tags and aliases, link to related meeting notes with wikilinks, embed an architecture diagram at a specific width, and highlight a deadline with a warning callout. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note for my project with frontmatter tags, a link to my meeting notes, an embedded diagram, and a warning callout for the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-markdown

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create internal links in Obsidian notes?

Use wikilink syntax with double brackets, such as [[Note Name]], optionally with custom display text like [[Note Name|Display Text]]. You can also link to headings with [[Note#Heading]] or to specific blocks using [[Note#^block-id]].

How do I embed images or PDFs in Obsidian Markdown?

Prefix a wikilink with an exclamation mark, such as ![[image.png]] or ![[document.pdf#page=3]]. Images support sizing like ![[image.png|300]] for width, and PDFs support page and height parameters.

What callout types does Obsidian support?

Obsidian supports 13 callout types including note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, and todo. Callouts can be foldable with a minus or plus sign and can be nested inside each other.

When should I use wikilinks versus Markdown links in Obsidian?

Use wikilinks ([[Note]]) for notes within your vault because Obsidian automatically updates them when notes are renamed. Use standard Markdown links ([text](url)) only for external URLs.

What characters are allowed in Obsidian tags?

Obsidian tags can contain letters in any language, numbers (not as the first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes for nested tags like #nested/tag. Tags can be written inline or listed in frontmatter under the tags property.
