What are 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 allows AI to generate enhanced Markdown formatted according to Obsidian, supporting wiki links, embeddings, callouts, and Frontmatter attributes, making notes ready to use without manual formatting. obsidian-bases focuses on Obsidian's Bases (database) functionality, providing syntax support for filters, formulas, summaries, etc., helping users avoid writing invalid formulas and improving database management efficiency. json-canvas allows 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.
The main functions of Obsidian skills
-
Enhanced Markdown supportobsidian-markdown enables AI to generate Markdown in the Obsidian format, including wiki links, embeddings, callouts, and frontmatter attributes, ensuring notes are ready to use without manual adjustments.
-
Database functionality enhancementobsidian-bases provides comprehensive support for Obsidian Bases (databases), including filters, formulas, summaries, and other features, helping users manage databases efficiently and avoid invalid formulas.
-
Canvas file generationjson-canvas enables AI to directly write and manage Obsidian Canvas files, understand their complex JSON structure, generate well-structured mind maps, and improve the visualization capabilities of knowledge management.
-
Context Injection and AutomationOnce loaded in Claude Code, it automatically activates the corresponding Skill, understands the official Obsidian documentation, avoids generating unsupported content, and supports batch refactoring of the note library.
-
Quick installation and useIt can be installed in Claude Code with simple commands and its functions can be invoked using conversational prompts, making it easy to learn and use.
How to use Obsidian-skills
-
Installation Skill PackTo install, enter the installation command in Claude Code, such as "Install skills here https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills", and the installation will be completed.
-
Use obsidian-markdownWhen generating notes, use tools to directly write Markdown in Obsidian format, including wiki links, embeddings, callouts, etc., to ensure that the notes can be directly stored in the Obsidian note library.
-
Operations on obsidian-basesWhen working with Obsidian's Bases database, the tool provides syntax support for filters, formulas, summaries, and other functions to help users avoid errors and manage data efficiently.
-
Edit json-canvasWhen creating or modifying Obsidian Canvas files, the AI can understand the JSON structure of the Canvas and generate or adjust visualizations such as mind maps by using the json-canvas skill.
-
Activate the corresponding SkillWhen working with Obsidian-related files in Claude Code, the corresponding Skill will be automatically activated, providing targeted support and optimizations based on the context.
