Maintain an Obsidian-friendly memory wiki vault with wikilinks, frontmatter, and official Obsidian CLI awareness.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Obsidian Vault Maintainer is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Maintain an Obsidian-friendly memory wiki vault with wikilinks, frontmatter, and official Obsidian CLI awareness.

Its SKILL.md is about 260 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. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-vault-maintainer”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f8e594e. 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.

    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 Vault Maintainer loads about 262 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~262

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
Maintain an Obsidian-friendly memory wiki vault with wikilinks, frontmatter, and official Obsidian CLI awareness.

Use this skill when the memory-wiki vault render mode is obsidian or the user wants the wiki to play nicely with Obsidian.

  • Start from openclaw wiki status to confirm the vault mode and whether the official Obsidian CLI is available.
  • Use openclaw wiki obsidian status before shelling out, then prefer the dedicated helpers like openclaw wiki obsidian search, openclaw wiki obsidian open, openclaw wiki obsidian command, and openclaw wiki obsidian daily.
  • Prefer [[Wikilinks]], stable filenames, and frontmatter that works with Obsidian dashboards and Dataview-style queries.
  • Keep generated sections deterministic so Obsidian users can safely add handwritten notes around them.
  • If the official Obsidian CLI is enabled, check that it works before depending on it. Do not assume the app is installed, running, or configured.
  • Pair renames with link repair.
