The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use the obsidian CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance. Requires Obsidian to be open.
[!IMPORTANT] macOS — open Obsidian once before using the CLI. On macOS the
obsidiancommand launches the Electron app if no Obsidian instance is running, producing a visible window flash on the first call. Once Obsidian is open, subsequent CLI calls forward args to the running instance silently — no further flicker. For interactive workflows (slash commands), ensure Obsidian is open at the start of the session. For non-interactive contexts where you can't guarantee Obsidian is open (background hooks, automation, CI), prefer filesystem reads viaRead/Grep/Glob.
Run obsidian help to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: https://help.obsidian.md/cli
Parameters take a value with =. Quote values with spaces:
obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world"
Flags are boolean switches with no value:
obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite
For multiline content use \n for newline and \t for tab.
Many commands accept file or path to target a file. Without either, the active file is used.
file=<name> — resolves like a wikilink (name only, no path or extension needed)path=<path> — exact path from vault root, e.g. folder/note.mdCommands target the most recently focused vault by default. Use vault=<name> as the first parameter to target a specific vault:
obsidian vault="My Vault" search query="test"
