# Obsidian CLI Use the `obsidian` CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance. Requires Obsidian to be open. ## When to Use - Use when managing vault content through the Obsidian CLI. - Use when developing or debugging Obsidian plugins and themes from the command line. - Use when the user wants shell-driven interaction with a running Obsidian app. ## Command reference Run `obsidian help` to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: https://help.obsidian.md/cli ## Syntax **Parameters** take a value with `=`. Quote values with spaces: ```bash obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world" ``` **Flags** are boolean switches with no value: ```bash obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite ``` For multiline content use `\n` for newline and `\t` for tab. ## File targeting Many commands accept `file` or `path` to target a file.
