obsidian
This Claude Code skill enables programmatic interaction with Obsidian vaults through obsidian-cli, allowing users to search notes, create, rename, move, and delete files while automatically updating internal wikilinks and Markdown references across the vault. Use it when building automation around Obsidian-based note systems, integrating external data into vaults, or performing bulk operations that would be tedious manually.

# Obsidian Obsidian vault = a normal folder on disk. Vault structure (typical) - Notes: `*.md` (plain text Markdown; edit with any editor) - Config: `.obsidian/` (workspace + plugin settings; usually don’t touch from scripts) - Canvases: `*.canvas` (JSON) - Attachments: whatever folder you chose in Obsidian settings (images/PDFs/etc.) ## Find the active vault(s) Obsidian desktop tracks vaults here (source of truth): - `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json` `obsidian-cli` resolves vaults from that file; vault name is typically the **folder name** (path suffix). Fast “what vault is active / where are the notes?” - If you’ve already set a default: `obsidian-cli print-default --path-only` - Otherwise, read `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json` and use the vault entry with `"open": true`. Notes - Multiple vaults common (iCloud vs `~/Documents`, work/personal, etc.). Don’t guess; read config. - Avoid writing hardcoded vault paths into scripts; prefer reading the config or using `print-default`. ## obsidian-cli quick start Pick a default vault (once): - `obsidian-cli set-default "<vault-folder-name>"` - `obsidian-cli print-default` / `obsidian-cli print-default --path-only` Search - `obsidian-cli search "query"` (note names) - `obsidian-cli search-content "query"` (inside notes; shows snippets + lines) Create - `obsidian-cli create "Folder/New note" --content "..." --open` - Requires Obsidian URI handler (`obsidian://…`) working (Obsidian installed). - Avoid creating notes under “hidden” dot-folders (e.g. `.something/...`) via URI; Obsidian may refuse. Move/rename (safe refactor) - `obsidian-cli move "old/path/note" "new/path/note"` - Updates `[[wikilinks]]` and common Markdown links across the vault (this is the main win vs `mv`). Delete - `obsidian-cli delete "path/note"` Prefer direct edits when appropriate: open the `.md` file and change it; Obsidian will pick it up.
Set up and use 1Password CLI (op). Use when installing the CLI, enabling desktop app integration, signing in (single or multi-account), or reading/injecting/running secrets via op.
Manage Apple Notes via the `memo` CLI on macOS (create, view, edit, delete, search, move, and export notes). Use when a user asks OpenClaw to add a note, list notes, search notes, or manage note folders.
Manage Apple Reminders via remindctl CLI (list, add, edit, complete, delete). Supports lists, date filters, and JSON/plain output.
Create, search, and manage Bear notes via grizzly CLI.
Monitor blogs and RSS/Atom feeds for updates using the blogwatcher CLI.
BluOS CLI (blu) for discovery, playback, grouping, and volume.
Use when you need to send or manage iMessages via BlueBubbles (recommended iMessage integration). Calls go through the generic message tool with channel="bluebubbles".
Capture frames or clips from RTSP/ONVIF cameras.
