What it does
C Obsidian is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Obsidian vault as persistent memory — daily notes, session logs, knowledge capture, and search across your entire vault.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking and Agent memory. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Note-taking
- Tasks that involve Agent memory
Example prompts
- “/c-obsidian”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
C Obsidian loads about 659 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Obsidian — Knowledge Base & Memory
Manage your Obsidian vault as a persistent memory layer. Use it for daily notes, session logs, knowledge capture, and searching your second brain.
CLI Commands
# Search before creating (avoid duplicates)
obsidian-cli search "query"
obsidian-cli search --tag "project" --folder "Work"
# Create and edit
obsidian-cli create "Title" --content "Body"
obsidian-cli create "Title" --template "Daily Note"
obsidian-cli append "Note Title" "Additional content"
# Open, list, vault
obsidian-cli open "Note Title"
obsidian-cli list --folder "Projects"
obsidian-cli tags
obsidian-cli vault --listDaily Notes Integration
When the user starts a session, check for today's daily note:
obsidian-cli search --folder "Daily Notes" "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"If none exists, create one:
obsidian-cli create "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" --folder "Daily Notes" --content "# $(date +%Y-%m-%d)\n\n## Tasks\n\n## Notes\n\n## Session Log\n"Append a session log entry at the end of each session:
obsidian-cli append "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" "### Session $(date +%H:%M)\n- [summary of what was done]\n"Memory Sync (Auto)
If both c-memory and c-obsidian are installed (check ls ~/.claude/skills/c-memory/), keep them in sync automatically:
Bidirectional Sync
~/.claude/memory/→ ObsidianAI/folder (on every memory write)- Obsidian
AI/→~/.claude/memory/(on session start, if Obsidian has newer content)
Sync Commands
# Push memory to Obsidian
obsidian-cli create "AI/Memory" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/MEMORY.md)"
obsidian-cli create "AI/People" --content "$(cat ~/.claude/memory/people.md)"
# Pull from Obsidian to check for updates
obsidian-cli search --folder "AI" "Memory"
# Append session log to daily note
obsidian-cli append "$(date +%Y-%m-%d)" "### Claude Session $(date +%H:%M)\n- [summary]"Rules
- When the user says "remember this", save to both systems
- Obsidian is the long-term archive;
~/.claude/memory/is the quick-access cache - MEMORY.md is authoritative for quick facts; Obsidian is richer context
Guidelines
- Always search before creating to avoid duplicate notes
- Use frontmatter tags:
tags: [project, active] - File paths are relative to vault root
- Obsidian app does not need to be running
- Keep daily notes in a consistent folder (default:
Daily Notes/)
