Obsidian CLI (vault & plugin ops)

What it does

Documents how to use the Obsidian command-line interface to interact with a running Obsidian instance: creating, reading, searching, and modifying notes; targeting specific vaults and files; and developer tooling commands for reloading plugins, capturing errors, screenshots, and evaluating JS in-app. The skill is a practical CLI cookbook with syntax, parameter rules, and common patterns.

When to use it

Invoke this skill when a user asks an agent to perform vault operations from the command line, to script note creation or updates, to run searches, or to assist with plugin/theme development and debugging. Useful for automation, batch edits, and developer test cycles.

What's included

• Scripts: none detected (has_scripts=false)
• References: links to official Obsidian CLI docs and examples are present in the skill body (has_references=false in metadata but external docs are referenced).
• Instructions: clear command syntax with examples for parameters and flags, file/vault targeting, common patterns for tasks, and developer cycles for plugin testing and debugging.

Compatible agents

Best for agents that execute shell commands or help with developer workflows (Copilot/Codex/Gemini CLI style agents) and for personal-assistant agents managing local notes.
