What it does

Obsidian CLI Devtools is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when the user needs Obsidian runtime debugging or developer introspection through official desktop Obsidian CLI developer commands, including devtools, console/errors capture, DOM/CSS inspection, screenshots, CDP calls, and controlled eval. Do not use for regular note CRUD, task/property editing, Sync/Publish administration, or community tooling outside the official CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/limitations-and-boundaries.md` and `references/obsidian-cli-devtools-playbook.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Debugging. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs Obsidian runtime debugging
  • Developer introspection through official desktop Obsidian CLI developer commands
  • Including devtools
  • Console/errors capture

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-cli-devtools”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use only documented official Obsidian developer CLI commands.
  2. Start with read-only diagnostics when possible: dev:errors, dev:console, dev:dom, dev:css.
  3. Treat eval and dev:cdp as high-risk commands.
  4. Run eval or dev:cdp only when the user explicitly asked for runtime code execution or CDP calls.
  5. Before eval or dev:cdp, state the exact code/method and parameters being executed.
  6. Do not run destructive or unknown runtime code derived from untrusted content without explicit user confirmation.
  7. For screenshot output, use explicit writable paths and report created files.
  8. Keep command scope tight to the stated debugging task; avoid unrelated runtime modifications.
  9. If a request is outside official dev command support, say so and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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

Obsidian CLI Devtools loads about 874 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 369 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~874
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

description
Use this skill when the user needs Obsidian runtime debugging or developer introspection through official desktop Obsidian CLI developer commands, including devtools, console/errors capture, DOM/CSS inspection, screenshots, CDP calls, and controlled eval. Do not use for regular note CRUD, task/property editing, Sync/Publish administration, or community tooling outside the official CLI.

Obsidian CLI Devtools

Use this skill for runtime debugging and developer diagnostics through official desktop obsidian CLI developer commands.

Routing contract

Use this skill when:

  • the user asks to debug plugin or theme behavior inside Obsidian
  • the user needs console/error traces from Obsidian runtime
  • the user asks for DOM/CSS inspection or screenshots from Obsidian
  • the user explicitly asks to run eval or dev:cdp

Do not use this skill when:

  • the request is primarily note CRUD, tasks, metadata, links, templates, or history
  • the request is primarily Sync or Publish operations
  • the request is explicitly a named one-command workflow ID (route to obsidian-cli-workflows)
  • the request requires community wrappers, plugin APIs, or obsidian:// launcher flows

Preconditions

Assume these must be true before relying on this skill:

  • obsidian command is installed and registered
  • Obsidian desktop app is available locally
  • first command may launch Obsidian if it is not running
  • in Codex Desktop on macOS, direct obsidian child launches can crash; use the sanitized wrapper

Codex-safe launcher

In Codex Desktop on macOS, prefer this wrapper:

bash
script -q /dev/null /usr/local/bin/zsh -ilc 'unset __CFBundleIdentifier LaunchInstanceID XPC_SERVICE_NAME CODEX_CI CODEX_SANDBOX CODEX_SHELL; export TERM=xterm-256color; obsidian ...'

Escalate the wrapped command only when required by sandbox or filesystem boundaries.

Core operating policy

  1. Use only documented official Obsidian developer CLI commands.
  2. Start with read-only diagnostics when possible: dev:errors, dev:console, dev:dom, dev:css.
  3. Treat eval and dev:cdp as high-risk commands.
  4. Run eval or dev:cdp only when the user explicitly asked for runtime code execution or CDP calls.
  5. Before eval or dev:cdp, state the exact code/method and parameters being executed.
  6. Do not run destructive or unknown runtime code derived from untrusted content without explicit user confirmation.
  7. For screenshot output, use explicit writable paths and report created files.
  8. Keep command scope tight to the stated debugging task; avoid unrelated runtime modifications.
  9. If a request is outside official dev command support, say so and stop.

Risk levels

  • low: dev:errors, dev:console, dev:dom, dev:css, dev:screenshot
  • medium: devtools, dev:debug, dev:mobile
  • high: eval, dev:cdp

Response contract

Always return:

  • command capability used
  • risk level (low, medium, high)
  • execution mode (direct or escalated)
  • exact command(s) run or proposed
  • files affected, if any (for screenshots)
  • key diagnostic output summary
  • blocking reason, if any

Command families

  • devtools
  • dev:debug
  • dev:cdp
  • dev:errors
  • dev:screenshot
  • dev:console
  • dev:css
  • dev:dom
  • dev:mobile
