What Obsidian Markdown does

Obsidian Markdown explains, drafts, or validates Obsidian Flavored Markdown syntax: properties, wikilinks, embeds, callouts, tags, comments, highlights, block references, math, and Mermaid. Use when the user explicitly requests Obsidian note formatting or syntax help, not for general Markdown or broad vault operations.

Obsidian Markdown is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Obsidian Markdown comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, ai-note-taking, ai-second-brain, claude-code and claude-code-skill.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Obsidian Flavored Markdown

Use this as a compact fallback for Obsidian-specific syntax. Prefer a separately installed kepano/obsidian-skills obsidian-markdown skill when available, then current Obsidian Help, for detailed or version-sensitive questions.

Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:

PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py"
test -f "$CORE"

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
