From the SKILL.md

# Obsidian CLI read transport Use this skill only to detect transport and read or search a selected vault. The official executable is `obsidian`; binary presence alone does not prove it is usable. 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 DETECT_TRANSPORT="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/detect-transport.sh" test -f "$DETECT_TRANSPORT" ``` ## Detect safely Probe without persisting host state: ```bash bash "$DETECT_TRANSPORT" --peek --vault "$VAULT" ``` Trust `available.cli.usable`, not merely `present` or exit status. A supported CLI can still be unavailable because the Obsidian app is not running, command line access is disabled, or its response is an error. Use filesystem reads as the portable fallback. Persist a refreshed `.vault-meta/transport.json` only when the user or setup workflow asks for a transport snapshot: ```bash bash "$DETECT_TRANSPORT" --force --vault "$VAULT" ``` That file is derived runtime configuration, not knowledge content. Preserve a valid `manual_override` recorded by the detector. ## Read and search Run official CLI commands from

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.
