Create and edit Obsidian Markdown notes with links between notes, embedded images and PDFs, highlighted callout boxes, tags, and properties. Use Obsidian-specific formatting to connect related material and organize information within notes.
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.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.
[[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.![[embed]] syntax. See EMBEDS.md for all embed types.> [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types.When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use
[[wikilinks]]for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and[text](url)for external URLs only.
[[Note Name]] Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]] Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]] Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]] Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]] Same-note heading link
Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph:
This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id
For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:
> A quote block
^quote-id
Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline:
![[Note Name]] Embed full note
![[Note Name#Heading]] Embed section
![[image.png]] Embed image
![[image.png|300]] Embed image with width
![[document.pdf#page=3]] Embed PDF page
See EMBEDS.md for audio, video, search embeds, and external images.

> Basic callout.
> [!warning] Custom Title

Common types: note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, todo.
See CALLOUTS.md for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts.

Extract readable Markdown from web pages with Defuddle CLI, removing ads and navigation to reduce token usage. Save the content to a file or retrieve metadata such as titles, descriptions, and domains.
Turn written content into Excalidraw flowcharts, mind maps, and other diagrams. Save files for Obsidian, edit them on excalidraw.com, or add drawing order information for use with an external animation tool.
Create and edit .canvas files for visual planning in tools such as Obsidian. Arrange text, files, and links into mind maps or flowcharts, connect related items, and check that the file structure remains valid.
Convert text into Mermaid diagrams, which describe visual structures using code. Create process flows, comparisons, mind maps, and system interactions for presentations or documentation, with adjustable layouts and checks for common syntax mistakes.
Create and edit Obsidian Bases files to organize notes into tables, cards, and lists. Filter notes by tags or properties, calculate values such as days until a deadline, and configure grouping and summaries.
Use the Obsidian command-line interface to read, create, and search notes, manage tasks and properties, and work with specific vaults. It also supports plugin and theme debugging through error checks, screenshots, and interface inspection.
