obsidian-markdown
Explain, draft, or validate Obsidian Flavored Markdown syntax: properties, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, tags, comments, highlights, block references, math, and Mermaid. Use when the user explicitly requests Obsidian note formatting or syntax help, not for general Markdown or broad vault operations.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill obsidian-markdown --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 Flavored Markdown Use this as a compact fallback for Obsidian-specific syntax. Prefer a separately installed `kepano/obsidian-skills` `obsidian-markdown` skill when available, then current [Obsidian Help](https://help.obsidian.md/), for detailed or version-sensitive questions. Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory: ```bash PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py" test -f "$CORE" ``` Answer syntax questions read-only. If the user requests a vault edit, draft the complete note, read [operation-transactions.md](../wiki/references/operation-transactions.md), and build one `claude-obsidian.transaction.v1` bundle with `operation_type: markdown` and only `wiki/` targets. Inspect it, then set `APPROVAL_SHA256` to the returned `approval_sha256` after review and apply it through the same vault-bound plan. A canonical page create or removal includes an active index or MOC update in that bundle; update the overview only when its stable high-level synthesis changed: ```bash python3 "$CORE" transaction inspect "$BUNDLE" --vault "$VAULT" python3 "

What does the obsidian-markdown skill do?
Explain, draft, or validate Obsidian Flavored Markdown syntax: properties, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, tags, comments, highlights, block references, math, and Mermaid. Use when the user explicitly requests Obsidian note formatting or syntax help, not for general Markdown or broad vault operations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian --skill obsidian-markdown --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 AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian, a repository with 10,371 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.
