Manage Obsidian notes through its official command-line interface, a tool for issuing text commands. Search, create, and edit notes; update daily entries and tasks; and inspect links and properties in a selected vault.
Work with Obsidian vaults using the official obsidian CLI: read/search/create/edit notes, tasks, links, properties, plugins.
obsidian works with an Obsidian vault, a collection of notes, through the official obsidian CLI. It can read, search, create, append to, move, and delete notes. It also updates daily notes, lists unfinished tasks, and marks tasks complete. You can inspect tags, properties, links pointing to notes, and unresolved links.
Use it to find meeting notes or project records, or have an agent update daily entries and tasks. If you have multiple vaults, you can specify which one to use. For bulk text changes, it can also edit Markdown files directly after checking where the vault is stored.
Obsidian 1.12.7 or later is required. Enable Command line interface in settings, register obsidian on PATH, and keep the app running: the official CLI connects to the running app. Use note names or exact paths as appropriate. The .obsidian/ settings folder is edited only when requested.

Use the official obsidian CLI for Obsidian vault work. Vault files are plain Markdown, so direct file edits are still fine when safer/faster.

macOS registration creates /usr/local/bin/obsidian pointing at the app-bundled CLI. Linux registration copies the binary to ~/.local/bin/obsidian.

Set up and authenticate the 1Password CLI, then supply stored passwords and API keys to commands or configuration. The skill covers desktop integration, service accounts, and interactive sign-in while keeping secrets out of chat and logs.
Route requests from OpenClaw to external coding agents such as Claude Code or Cursor. Start or continue sessions using ACP, a protocol for connecting agents, or relay prompts directly through acpx while preserving conversation context.
Add a model provider to OpenClaw and verify it with a real response. The skill validates configuration, keeps credentials in environment or file references, and reports test results and any default model changes.
Prepare an agent activity transcript for a GitHub pull request or issue. Extract relevant prompts, decisions, and results from local logs, remove sensitive material, and preview the edited record before separately authorized publication.
