graph-colorize
Color-code the Obsidian graph view by rewriting `.obsidian/graph.json` colorGroups. Use this skill when the user says "color my graph", "color code obsidian", "colorize the graph", "color the graph by tag", "color by category", "highlight visibility in graph", "make the graph colorful", "distinguish tags in graph", or wants nodes in Obsidian's graph view tinted by tag, folder, or visibility. Generates a `colorGroups` array from the vault's actual tags/categories and merges it into the existing graph.json without clobbering other graph settings. Always backs up first.
npx skills add Ar9av/obsidian-wiki --skill graph-colorize --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Graph Colorize — Color-code the Obsidian Graph View You are rewriting `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/.obsidian/graph.json` so Obsidian's graph view tints nodes by tag, folder, or visibility. Obsidian stores graph settings in `<vault>/.obsidian/graph.json`. The `colorGroups` array is a list of `{query, color}` pairs; the first matching query wins per node. Queries use Obsidian's search syntax: `tag:#foo`,

Where does this skill come from?
From Ar9av/obsidian-wiki, a repository with 3,115 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
