Work with Obsidian vaults using the official Obsidian CLI (v1.12+). Open, search, create, move, and manage notes from the terminal. Use when working with Obsidian vaults for note management, file operations, searching content, managing tasks, properties, links, plugins, themes, sync operations, or any command-line interaction with Obsidian.

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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Official command-line interface for Obsidian. Anything you can do in Obsidian can be done from the command line โ including developer commands for debugging, screenshots, and plugin reloading.
