Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via notesmd-cli.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Obsidian vault = a normal folder on disk with Markdown files. Vault structure (typical): Notes: *.md (plain text Markdown; edit with any editor) Config: .obsidian/ (workspace + plugin settings; don't touch from scripts) Canvases: *.canvas (JSON) Attachments: whatever folder you chose in Obsidian settings (images/PDFs/etc.)
Obsidian desktop tracks vaults in a config file (source of truth): macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json Linux: ~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json notesmd-cli resolves vaults from that file; vault name is the folder name (path suffix).
Always check before running commands: notesmd-cli print-default --path-only 2>/dev/null && echo "OK" || echo "NOT_SET" If NOT_SET, configure it: notesmd-cli set-default "VAULT_NAME" Don't guess vault paths โ read the config file or use print-default.
notesmd-cli print-default # show default vault name + path notesmd-cli print-default --path-only # path only notesmd-cli list # list notes and folders in vault notesmd-cli list "Folder" # list inside a folder
notesmd-cli search "query" # fuzzy search note names notesmd-cli search-content "query" # search inside notes (shows snippets + lines)
notesmd-cli print "path/note" # print note contents notesmd-cli frontmatter "path/note" # view or modify note frontmatter
notesmd-cli create "Folder/Note" --content "..." --open # create note notesmd-cli create "Folder/Note" --content "..." --append # append to existing note notesmd-cli create "Folder/Note" --content "..." --overwrite # overwrite note Note: create requires Obsidian URI handler (Obsidian must be installed). Avoid hidden dot-folder paths.
notesmd-cli move "old/path/note" "new/path/note" # rename/move (updates [[wikilinks]]) notesmd-cli delete "path/note"
Add --vault "Name" to any command: notesmd-cli print "2025-01-10" --vault "Work" notesmd-cli search "meeting" --vault "Personal"
notesmd-cli daily # open/create today's daily note notesmd-cli daily --vault "Work" # for a specific vault
date +%Y-%m-%d # today # Yesterday (GNU first, BSD fallback): date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d # Last Friday: date -d "last friday" +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -v-friday +%Y-%m-%d # N days ago: date -d "3 days ago" +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -v-3d +%Y-%m-%d
# Journal entry notesmd-cli create "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --content "- Did the thing" --append # Task notesmd-cli create "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --content "- [ ] Buy groceries" --append # Timestamped log notesmd-cli create "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --content "- $(date +%H:%M) Meeting notes here" --append # With custom folder (e.g. Daily Notes plugin folder) notesmd-cli create "Daily Notes/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --content "- Entry" --append
notesmd-cli print "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" # today notesmd-cli print "$(date -d yesterday +%Y-%m-%d 2>/dev/null || date -v-1d +%Y-%m-%d)" # yesterday notesmd-cli print "2025-01-10" # specific date
Create a new note with content: notesmd-cli create "Projects/My Project" --content "# My Project\n\nNotes here." --open Find and read a note: notesmd-cli search "meeting" notesmd-cli print "path/from/search/result" Safe rename preserving links: notesmd-cli move "old/note name" "new/folder/note name" Search inside notes: notesmd-cli search-content "TODO" notesmd-cli search-content "project alpha" Prefer direct file edits when appropriate (just edit the .md file); Obsidian picks them up automatically.
