Core Idea

This skillset provides a collection of Agent Skills tailored for working with Obsidian and related formats, compliant with the Agent Skills spec for cross-agent use (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode).

Key Skills

obsidian-markdown: Edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, callouts, etc.
obsidian-bases: Manage Bases .base views and formulas.
json-canvas: Create JSON Canvas files.
obsidian-cli: Vault and plugin operations via CLI.
defuddle: Extract clean markdown from web pages.

Workflow

Install via marketplace or npx, then invoke skills as needed when handling corresponding file types or vault tasks. Skills are auto-discovered by agents based on context.

Skill Composition

How skills in this set are triggered

Each skill is designed for a specific kind of caller — some only fire when you name them, others load automatically when the model judges them relevant. The split below summarises both modes at a glance.

User-Invoked0

These skills only fire when you call them by name. The agent will not load them on its own — they stay inert until invoked.

No skill in this set is recommended for manual invocation.

Model-Invoked5

These skills are loaded automatically by the agent when it judges the context relevant. You usually don't need to call them yourself.
