What it does

Obsidian CLI Sync And Publish is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when the user needs official desktop Obsidian CLI Sync workflows and, when detected as available, Publish workflows. This skill is for remote-side-effect operations and must use explicit intent, capability probing, and conservative safety checks.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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-sync-publish-playbook.md`).

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 official desktop Obsidian CLI Sync workflows and
  • Detected as available
  • Publish workflows

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-cli-sync-and-publish”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use only official desktop Sync and Publish CLI commands.
  2. Probe publish command availability before using any publish:* command. Use a read-only check like obsidian help publish:status.
  3. If publish probe reports No commands matching, treat Publish as unsupported in this environment and refuse publish actions plainly.
  4. For mixed read/write flows, run status checks first (sync:status; and publish:status only when publish support is confirmed).
  5. Treat mutating commands as high-impact operations.
  6. Do not run mutating commands on implicit active-file targets unless the user explicitly requested active-file behavior.
  7. For restore operations (sync:restore), require explicit version= plus explicit file= or path= unless the user clearly specifies…
  8. For publish operations (when supported), clearly state whether action targets one file, path, or all changed files.
  9. Summarize remote side effects before executing mutating operations.
  10. If Sync is not configured, report that blocker and stop.
  11. If publish is requested but unavailable in this CLI build, report that blocker and stop.
  12. If the request is actually headless/server Sync, say this skill does not cover Headless Sync and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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 Sync And Publish loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

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 official desktop Obsidian CLI Sync workflows and, when detected as available, Publish workflows. This skill is for remote-side-effect operations and must use explicit intent, capability probing, and conservative safety checks.

Obsidian CLI Sync and Publish

Use this skill for Obsidian Sync operations and capability-gated Obsidian Publish operations through official desktop obsidian CLI commands.

Routing contract

Use this skill when:

  • the user asks for Sync state, Sync history, or Sync restore operations
  • the user asks for Publish status, publish add/remove, or publish site checks and those commands are detected as available
  • the task is a release/checkpoint flow that depends on Sync or Publish surfaces

Do not use this skill when:

  • the request is regular note CRUD, task/property updates, or graph cleanup
  • the request is Obsidian Headless automation without desktop app
  • the request is explicitly a named one-command workflow ID (route to obsidian-cli-workflows)
  • the request is community tooling or non-official publish/sync surfaces

Preconditions

Assume these must be true before relying on this skill:

  • obsidian command is installed and registered
  • Obsidian desktop app is available locally
  • Sync is configured in the target vault
  • Publish commands may be unavailable in some CLI builds and must be probed before use
  • in Codex Desktop on macOS, direct launches can crash; prefer 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 boundaries.

Core operating policy

  1. Use only official desktop Sync and Publish CLI commands.
  2. Probe publish command availability before using any publish:* command. Use a read-only check like obsidian help publish:status.
  3. If publish probe reports No commands matching, treat Publish as unsupported in this environment and refuse publish actions plainly.
  4. For mixed read/write flows, run status checks first (sync:status; and publish:status only when publish support is confirmed).
  5. Treat mutating commands as high-impact operations.
  6. Do not run mutating commands on implicit active-file targets unless the user explicitly requested active-file behavior.
  7. For restore operations (sync:restore), require explicit version=<n> plus explicit file= or path= unless the user clearly specifies active-file restore.
  8. For publish operations (when supported), clearly state whether action targets one file, path, or all changed files.
  9. Summarize remote side effects before executing mutating operations.
  10. If Sync is not configured, report that blocker and stop.
  11. If publish is requested but unavailable in this CLI build, report that blocker and stop.
  12. If the request is actually headless/server Sync, say this skill does not cover Headless Sync and stop.
