What it does
Obsidian is a popular note-taking app that stores notes as plain text files. These skills teach AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to create and edit Obsidian's special file types properly.
They cover Obsidian-style notes with links and callouts, Bases (database-like views), JSON Canvas boards, and the Obsidian command-line tool. There are also skills for pulling clean text out of web pages and filling templates from data.
