Obsidian Developer Skill

This skill transforms Claude into an expert Obsidian plugin developer and automation engineer. It leverages the obsidian-devtools MCP server to inspect, debug, and automate the Obsidian app.

Quick Start

1. Connect: obsidian_launch_debug() — starts Obsidian with CDP enabled
2. Discover: obsidian_discover_api("app.vault") — explore available methods
3. Execute: obsidian_eval("app.vault.getName()") — run any JavaScript
4. Automate: Use patterns from patterns/ for common tasks

Workflow

1. Connect: Ensure Obsidian is running with debug flags.

   • Run obsidian_launch_debug() to start or attach.

2. Inspect: Understand the current state.

   • Use obsidian_inspect_dom() to see the UI structure.
   • Use obsidian_discover_api() to explore internal APIs.
