obsidian
Work with Obsidian vaults using the official obsidian CLI: read/search/create/edit notes, tasks, links, properties, plugins.
npx skills add Health-Yang/MineEcho --skill obsidian --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Obsidian Use the official `obsidian` CLI for Obsidian vault work. Vault files are plain Markdown, so direct file edits are still fine when safer/faster. ## Requirements - Obsidian 1.12.7+ installed. - Settings -> General -> Command line interface enabled. - `obsidian` registered on PATH. - Obsidian app running; the CLI connects to the running app. Check: ```bash obsidian version obsidian help ``` macOS registration creates `/usr/local/bin/obsidian` pointing at the app-bundled CLI. Linux registration copies the binary to `~/.local/bin/obsidian`. ## Vault model - Notes: `*.md`. - Config: `.obsidian/`; avoid editing unless asked. - Canvases: `*.canvas` JSON. - Attachments: vault-configured folder. - Multiple vaults are common; pass `vault="<name>"` when ambiguous. Obsidian desktop tracks vaults here: - `~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json` ## Command pattern ```bash obsidian <command> [name=value] [flag] obsidian vault="Notes" search query="meeting notes" format=json ``` Parameter values with spaces need quotes. Add `--copy` to copy output where useful. ## Common commands Open/read: ```bash obsidian open file=Recipe obsidian open path="Inbox/Idea.md" newtab obsidian

What does the obsidian skill do?
Work with Obsidian vaults using the official obsidian CLI: read/search/create/edit notes, tasks, links, properties, plugins.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Health-Yang/MineEcho --skill obsidian --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Health-Yang/MineEcho, a repository with 248 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.
