SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

đź’ˇ This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing notes for Obsidian requires syntax beyond standard Markdown—wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and block references—and getting these wrong means broken links, missing embeds, or notes that fail to render correctly in the vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wikilinks and Embeds: Create internal links with [[Note]] syntax, heading and block references, and embed notes, images, PDFs, audio, and search results inline. - Callouts and Properties: Add foldable callouts with > [!type] syntax and structured YAML frontmatter properties like tags, aliases, and cssclasses. - Obsidian-Only Syntax: Covers highlights, comments, footnotes, LaTeX math, and Mermaid diagrams as rendered by Obsidian. - Use Case: When drafting a project note in an Obsidian vault, use this Skill to add frontmatter properties, link related notes with wikilinks, embed an architecture diagram, and highlight a deadline in a callout—all with valid syntax. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note for my project with frontmatter tags, a warning callout for the deadline, and a wikilink to my meeting notes.

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

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 Name#Heading]] or to specific blocks using [[Note Name#^block-id]].

How do I embed images or PDFs in an Obsidian note?â–Ľ

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?â–Ľ

Obsidian supports callout types including note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, and todo, written as > [!type]. Callouts can have custom titles and be foldable with a minus or plus suffix.

When should I use wikilinks versus Markdown links in Obsidian?â–Ľ

Use wikilinks ([[Note]]) for notes within the vault because Obsidian tracks renames automatically. Use standard Markdown links ([text](url)) only for external URLs outside the vault.

Does this skill cover standard Markdown syntax?â–Ľ

No, standard Markdown such as headings, bold, lists, quotes, code blocks, and tables is assumed knowledge. The skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions like wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and comments.
