What Graph Colorize does

Graph Colorize rewrites the Obsidian graph.json colorGroups array to tint graph nodes by tag, folder, or visibility. Use it when a user asks to color the graph, color-code tags, or highlight visibility.

Graph Colorize is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Graph Colorize comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, brain, knowledge-base, llm-tools and obsidian.

README

Excerpt

Graph Colorize — Color-code the Obsidian Graph View

You are rewriting $OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/.obsidian/graph.json so Obsidian's graph view tints nodes by tag, folder, or visibility.

Obsidian stores graph settings in <vault>/.obsidian/graph.json. The colorGroups array is a list of {query, color} pairs; the first matching query wins per node. Queries use Obsidian's search syntax: tag:#foo, path:"concepts", file:foo, etc. Color is {"a": 1, "rgb": <packed-int>} where the int is (R << 16) | (G << 8) | B.
