Obsidian-skills - Obsidian's open-source AI toolkit

Author: AI小集 · Original source: AI工具集

What is Obsidian-skills

Obsidian-skills is a set of open-source tools developed by the Obsidian team to help users better integrate AI tools (such as Claude Code) with the Obsidian note-taking system. It includes three core skills: obsidian-markdown, obsidian-bases, and json-canvas. obsidian-markdown enables AI to generate enhanced Markdown that conforms to the Obsidian format, supporting wiki links, embeds, Callouts, and Frontmatter properties, making notes directly usable without manual format adjustments. obsidian-bases focuses on Obsidian's Bases (database) functionality, providing syntax support for features such as filters, formulas, and summaries, helping users avoid writing invalid formulas and improving database management efficiency. json-canvas enables AI to directly write Obsidian Canvas files, understand their complex JSON structure, and generate clearly structured mind maps, greatly improving knowledge management and visualization efficiency.

Main features of Obsidian-skills

  • Enhanced Markdown support: obsidian-markdown enables AI to generate Markdown that conforms to the Obsidian format, including wiki links, embeds, Callouts, and Frontmatter properties, ensuring notes are directly usable without manual adjustments.
  • Enhanced database functionality: obsidian-bases provides comprehensive support for Obsidian Bases (databases), including features such as filters, formulas, and summaries, helping users efficiently manage databases and avoid invalid formulas.
  • Canvas file generation: json-canvas enables AI to directly write and manage Obsidian Canvas files, understand their complex JSON structure, and generate clearly structured mind maps, enhancing the visualization capability of knowledge management.
  • Context injection and automation: After being loaded in Claude Code, it automatically activates the corresponding Skill, understands the official Obsidian documentation, avoids generating unsupported content, and supports batch refactoring of note vaults.
  • Quick installation and use: It can be installed in Claude Code with a simple command, and functions can be invoked using colloquial prompts, with a low barrier to entry and ease of use.

How to use Obsidian-skills

  • Install the skill package: Enter the installation command in Claude Code, for example "install the skills here https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills”，即可完成安装。
  • Use obsidian-markdown: When generating notes, use the tool to directly write Markdown that conforms to the Obsidian format, including wiki links, embeds, Callouts, etc., ensuring notes can be directly saved into the Obsidian vault.
  • Operate obsidian-bases: When handling Obsidian's Bases databases, the tool provides syntax support for features such as filters, formulas, and summaries, helping users avoid errors and efficiently manage data.
  • Edit json-canvas: When you need to create or modify Obsidian Canvas files, with the help of the json-canvas skill, AI can understand the JSON structure of Canvas and generate or adjust visual content such as mind maps.
  • Activate the corresponding Skill: When operating Obsidian-related files in Claude Code, the corresponding Skill is automatically activated, providing targeted support and optimization based on the context.
