Mechanism
Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.
When the user wants to interact with an open Obsidian vault from the command line — reading/creating/searching notes, managing tasks/properties, or developing/debugging plugins and themes.
obsidian subcommands with param=value and boolean flags; target files via file=/path=, vaults via vault=.obsidian help lists all live commands.Direct vault automation and plugin debugging through CLI: notes managed, content searched, and plugin issues caught fast without manual UI steps.
Use Cases
A researcher keeps daily notes in Obsidian and wants to append a task and review backlinks without opening the app. They run `obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] Read paper"` and `obsidian backlinks file="My Note"` via the skill. This saves time, keeps the vault updated from terminal, and ensures no context switching during deep work.
A plugin developer changes code and needs a fast feedback loop. Using the skill they run `obsidian plugin:reload id=my-plugin`, then `obsidian dev:errors` and `obsidian dev:screenshot` to verify. Errors are caught early and visuals confirmed without manual reloads, accelerating the debug cycle and improving plugin quality.
