What This Skill Does
Interact with Obsidian vaults from the command line using obsidian-cli. Supports searching, creating, moving, and deleting notes while preserving wikilink integrity across the vault.
Moving or renaming notes via obsidian-cli updates all wikilinks vault-wide, which a plain file rename does not.
When to use it
- Search note content for a forgotten idea across a large vault
- Create a new note from a script or template automatically
- Rename a note without breaking wikilinks to it
- Find which vault is currently active on a machine
- Batch-create meeting notes from a scheduled workflow
