At a glance

Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.

  • SKILL.md covers Find the active vault(s) and obsidian-cli quick start
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Obsidian is an agent skill from trpc-group/trpc-agent-go. Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 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. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A Go framework for building production agent systems with graph workflows, tools, memory, A2A, AG-UI, MCP, evaluation, and observability. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Note-taking

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bb1c42. 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 loads about 629 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~629

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

Obsidian vault = a normal folder on disk.

Vault structure (typical)

  • Notes: *.md (plain text Markdown; edit with any editor)
  • Config: .obsidian/ (workspace + plugin settings; usually don’t touch from scripts)
  • Canvases: *.canvas (JSON)
  • Attachments: whatever folder you chose in Obsidian settings (images/PDFs/etc.)

Find the active vault(s)

Obsidian desktop tracks vaults here (source of truth):

  • ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json

obsidian-cli resolves vaults from that file; vault name is typically the folder name (path suffix).

Fast “what vault is active / where are the notes?”

  • If you’ve already set a default: obsidian-cli print-default --path-only
  • Otherwise, read ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json and use the vault entry with "open": true.

Notes

  • Multiple vaults common (iCloud vs ~/Documents, work/personal, etc.). Don’t guess; read config.
  • Avoid writing hardcoded vault paths into scripts; prefer reading the config or using print-default.

obsidian-cli quick start

Pick a default vault (once):

  • obsidian-cli set-default "<vault-folder-name>"
  • obsidian-cli print-default / obsidian-cli print-default --path-only

Search

  • obsidian-cli search "query" (note names)
  • obsidian-cli search-content "query" (inside notes; shows snippets + lines)

Create

  • obsidian-cli create "Folder/New note" --content "..." --open
  • Requires Obsidian URI handler (obsidian://…) working (Obsidian installed).
  • Avoid creating notes under “hidden” dot-folders (e.g. .something/...) via URI; Obsidian may refuse.

Move/rename (safe refactor)

  • obsidian-cli move "old/path/note" "new/path/note"
  • Updates [[wikilinks]] and common Markdown links across the vault (this is the main win vs mv).

Delete

  • obsidian-cli delete "path/note"

Prefer direct edits when appropriate: open the .md file and change it; Obsidian will pick it up.
