What it does

Obsidian CLI Workspace And Navigation is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when the user needs official desktop Obsidian CLI workspace, vault, tab, navigation, and utility operations, including workspace save/load/delete, tab and recent-file handling, vault info/listing, random/unique note navigation helpers, web viewer, and wordcount. Keep this skill separate from note CRUD/tasks/properties/history, runtime admin, devtools diagnostics, and Sync/Publish operations.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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-workspace-navigation-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 workspace
  • Utility operations
  • Including workspace save/load/delete
  • Tab and recent-file handling

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-cli-workspace-and-navigation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use only documented official workspace/navigation CLI commands.
  2. Prefer read-only inspection first for mixed flows: vault, vaults, workspace, workspaces, tabs, recents, wordcount.
  3. Treat workspace layout mutations as high-impact operations (workspace:save, workspace:load, workspace:delete).
  4. For tab:open and open, require explicit target intent when both file and view options are plausible.
  5. vault:open is not currently treated as part of this skill's owned command set in this plugin release.
  6. For web url=..., require explicit URL target and avoid silent URL construction.
  7. Summarize side effects before mutating workspace state.
  8. If a request is outside official workspace/navigation surface, say so 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 Workspace And Navigation loads about 964 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 393 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~964
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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 workspace, vault, tab, navigation, and utility operations, including workspace save/load/delete, tab and recent-file handling, vault info/listing, random/unique note navigation helpers, web viewer, and wordcount. Keep this skill separate from note CRUD/tasks/properties/history, runtime admin, devtools diagnostics, and Sync/Publish operations.

Obsidian CLI Workspace and Navigation

Use this skill for Obsidian workspace and navigation operations through official desktop obsidian CLI commands.

Routing contract

Use this skill when:

  • the user asks about vault metadata or vault listing
  • the user asks to inspect or change workspace layout state
  • the user asks about tabs, recent files, or opening views/files for navigation
  • the user asks for random/unique note navigation helpers
  • the user asks to open a URL in Obsidian web viewer
  • the user asks for word/character counts

Do not use this skill when:

  • the request is primarily note CRUD, tasks, properties, templates, links, or history/diff
  • the request is plugin/theme/snippet administration
  • the request is Sync or Publish management
  • the request is explicitly a named one-command workflow ID (route to obsidian-cli-workflows)
  • the request is runtime diagnostics, DOM/CSS inspection, screenshot capture, eval, or CDP

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 launches may 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 boundaries.

Core operating policy

  1. Use only documented official workspace/navigation CLI commands.
  2. Prefer read-only inspection first for mixed flows: vault, vaults, workspace, workspaces, tabs, recents, wordcount.
  3. Treat workspace layout mutations as high-impact operations (workspace:save, workspace:load, workspace:delete).
  4. For tab:open and open, require explicit target intent when both file and view options are plausible.
  5. vault:open is not currently treated as part of this skill's owned command set in this plugin release.
  6. For web url=..., require explicit URL target and avoid silent URL construction.
  7. Summarize side effects before mutating workspace state.
  8. If a request is outside official workspace/navigation surface, say so and stop.
