# Obsidian Work with Obsidian vaults by searching, creating, moving, and editing Markdown notes -- with automatic wikilink refactoring via obsidian-cli. The Obsidian skill gives your AI assistant full access to Obsidian vaults, which are simply folders of plain Markdown files on disk. It can search notes by name or content, create new notes, move and rename notes with automatic wikilink updates, and directly edit Markdown files. The skill understands Obsidian's vault configuration, multi-vault setups, and the obsidian-cli tool for safe operations. ## How It Works Obsidian vaults are standard folders containing .md files. The skill uses obsidian-cli for vault-aware operations like searching, creating, and moving notes. For moves and renames, it automatically updates [[wikilinks]] and Markdown links across the entire vault. The skill reads vault configuration from ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json to locate vaults and can set a default vault for convenience. ## Key Features Vault Discovery — Automatically reads Obsidian's config to find active vaults, supporting multi-vault setups (iCloud, Documents, work/personal)Note Search — Search by note name or full-text content search with snippet and line number resultsSafe Rename & Move — Move or rename notes with automatic wikilink and Markdown link refactoring across the vaultNote Creation — Create new notes in any folder with initial content, with optional auto-open in ObsidianDirect File Editing — Edit .md files directly since Obsidian picks up changes automaticallyDefault Vault Management — Set and query a default vault to avoid specifying paths repeatedly ## Requirements obsidian-cli — Command-line tool for Obsidian vault operations. Installable via HomebrewObsidian — Obsidian desktop app must be installed for URI handler support (note creation with auto-open) ## Use Cases Knowledge Management — Have your AI assistant organize, search, and update your personal knowledge baseNote Automation — Automatically create daily notes, meeting summaries, or project logsVault Refactoring — Safely reorganize vault structure with automatic link updates across all notesContent Search — Quickly find information across hundreds of notes using full-text search ## Installation Install via: `npx clawhub@latest install obsidian`
