Obsidian CLI

Obsidian CLI gives a compatible AI agent a structured way to control an open Obsidian application from the command line. It supports everyday knowledge-management work as well as technical workflows for people building extensions and visual themes.

Highlights

• Creates, reads, updates, and searches notes inside a selected vault.
• Works with daily notes, task lists, tags, backlinks, and document properties.
• Targets files by note name or exact vault-relative path and can address a specific vault.
• Helps plugin and theme developers reload changes, review errors, inspect the interface, and capture screenshots.
• Supports deeper diagnostics through console output, CSS inspection, DOM queries, and JavaScript evaluation.

The skill is useful for Obsidian users who want an agent to handle repeatable vault maintenance, organize knowledge, or retrieve information without clicking through the interface. It is equally relevant to extension developers who need a shorter edit-test-debug loop. Obsidian must be running for CLI operations, while installation is available through the repository's Claude plugin marketplace entry or by adding the repository to another Agent Skills-compatible environment.
