Obsidian agent skills

Obsidian agent skills is a skill pack that teaches agents a notes app’s formats and a vault command line.¹ The pack covers a markdown dialect, database views, canvases, a vault command line, and clean web-to-markdown conversion.¹²

Overview#

Practitioners describe a notes vault used as a workspace with a queue, generated output, and a constitution file read first.³⁴ The vault is searched before an answer is given, and extracted decisions are written back by rule.⁴

Mechanism#

1. Skill folders that teach the formats are installed.¹
2. A narrow command line handles search and tasks.¹³
3. A request file is dropped, processed on a cycle, and its output lands in a generated folder.³
4. A memory file is loaded, and the vault is searched before an answer is given.³⁴
5. Material is captured first and archived instead of deleted.⁵

Applications#

The pack is relevant when an agent must work with that notes app’s formats or drive a vault from the command line.

Limitations#

The app is not required as the only interface.
