# Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill This skill enables skills-compatible agents to create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown, including all Obsidian-specific syntax extensions. ## Overview Obsidian uses a combination of Markdown flavors: - [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/) - [GitHub Flavored Markdown](https://github.github.com/gfm/) - [LaTeX](https://www.latex-project.org/) for math - Obsidian-specific extensions (wikilinks, callouts, embeds, etc.) ## Basic Formatting ### Paragraphs and Line Breaks ```markdown This is a paragraph. This is another paragraph (blank line between creates separate paragraphs). For a line break within a paragraph, add two spaces at the end or use Shift+Enter. ``` ### Headings ```markdown # Heading 1 ## Heading 2 ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4 ##### Heading 5 ###### Heading 6 ``` ### Text Formatting | Style | Syntax | Example | Output | |-------|--------|---------|--------| | Bold | `**text**` or `__text__` | `**Bold**` | **Bold** | | Italic | `*text*` or `_text_` | `*Italic*` | *Italic* | | Bold + Italic | `***text***` | `***Both***` | ***Both*** | | Strikethrough | `~~text~~` | `~~Striked~~` | ~~Striked~~ | | Highlight | `==text==` | `==Highligh

What does the obsidian-markdown skill do?
Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add anbeime/skill --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 anbeime/skill, a repository with 4,714 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.
