What is it?

Obsidian is a notes app that keeps everything as plain text files on your computer, which makes it easy for Claude to read and edit. These skills teach Claude Obsidian's own formats so it doesn't break them: links between notes, embeds, callouts and properties, Bases (database-style views of your notes) and Canvas boards.

There's also a skill for the Obsidian command-line tool, one that pulls a clean copy of any web page into your vault without the clutter, and one that fills note templates from a spreadsheet.

Install in Claude Code

In Claude Code run /plugin marketplace add kepano/obsidian-skills, then /plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills. Or run npx skills add https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills. Open Claude Code in your vault folder to use it.

Try this prompt

Paste into Claude Code
Go through my meeting notes from this week, link each one to the right client note, and build a Base that lists open action items by due date.

Who it's for

Obsidian users who want Claude to organise, link and add to their vault.

Best for

  • Organising a messy vault
  • Linking meeting notes to projects
  • Building Bases and dashboards
  • Saving web articles as notes

Why it made the list

It's written by Obsidian's CEO, so the notes Claude writes look and behave like ones you made yourself.
