claude-obsidian
Self-organizing AI second brain for Obsidian + Claude Code. Drop any source and Claude reads, links, and files it into one connected knowledge graph of plain Markdown you own. AI note-taking, personal knowledge management (PKM), and an open-source Notion alternative. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern.

What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
autoresearch
Run a bounded, source-grounded research loop, draft a cited dossier, and optionally propose a separately reviewed canonical vault merge. Use when the user wants autonomous or deep research that may access the public web. Triggers: /autoresearch, autoresearch, research this topic, deep dive into, investigate, find everything about, research and file, go research, build a wiki on.
skills/autoresearch/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
canvas
Create, inspect, and update Obsidian JSON Canvas boards with text, file, link, group, and edge nodes. Use for canvas status, canvas lists, visual maps, zones, spatial layouts, adding vault notes or media to a .canvas file, and requests such as create canvas, add to canvas, or put this on the canvas.
skills/canvas/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
defuddle
Plan and, with explicit network consent, use an optional external Defuddle cleaner to extract article-like HTTPS pages as Markdown. Use for defuddle, clean this URL, strip page clutter, readable Markdown from a web page, or preparing a web source for later wiki ingestion.
skills/defuddle/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
obsidian-bases
Explain, draft, and validate Obsidian Bases .base files with filters, formulas, properties, summaries, and table, card, or list views. Use for Obsidian Bases, database-like vault views, dynamic tables, reading lists, task trackers, filters, formulas, summaries, and .base file edits.
skills/obsidian-bases/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
obsidian-markdown
Explain, draft, or validate 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.
skills/obsidian-markdown/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
save
Save a user-selected answer, decision, insight, or session summary into an Obsidian vault as one reviewed transaction. Use only when the user explicitly asks to preserve specific conversation content, not when they supply a file or URL to ingest. Triggers: /save, save this, save that answer, file this conversation, save this analysis, keep this insight, preserve this chat result.
skills/save/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
think
Apply the Fable-derived 10-stage OBSERVE, OBSERVE, LISTEN, THINK, CONNECT, CONNECT, FEEL, ACCEPT, CREATE, GROW loop to consequential or ambiguous reasoning and decisions. Use for think this through, deep think, architecture review, postmortem, tradeoff analysis, or challenges to assumptions. This is a reasoning review, not a deterministic vault health check or repair workflow.
skills/think/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-cli
Detect and use the official Obsidian command-line interface for read-only vault access; use for wiki-cli, Obsidian CLI, Obsidian read, Obsidian search, vault transport, which transport, transport detection, backlinks, tags, or Obsidian command line. Mutations always go through the claude-obsidian transaction core.
skills/wiki-cli/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-fold
Create a bounded, extractive, structurally idempotent rollup of recent Obsidian wiki log entries, with dry-run preview by default and one optional transaction apply. Use for manual log compression without modifying child pages. Triggers: fold the log, run a fold, run wiki-fold, log rollup, roll up log entries, commit the fold.
skills/wiki-fold/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-ingest
Ingest supplied source material into an Obsidian vault with provenance and claim tracking: pasted text, files staged in the selected vault's inbox or .raw archive, or explicitly approved URLs. Use for a single source or bounded batch, not for saving an assistant answer. Triggers: ingest, ingest this file, ingest this URL, process this source, read and file this source, batch ingest, ingest these…

wiki-lint
Run a deterministic, read-only health check on an Obsidian wiki. Use for lint, vault health check, audit wiki health, find orphans, find dead links, frontmatter audit, provenance audit, or wiki audit. Reports graph, link, frontmatter, provenance-ledger, empty-section, and stale-index findings; it does not reason broadly or repair files.
skills/wiki-lint/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-mode
Read or configure the vault filing methodology and suggest destinations for planned knowledge creation under Generic, LYT, PARA, or Zettelkasten. Use for wiki mode, methodology mode, what is my vault mode, set vault mode, switch to PARA, use LYT, Zettelkasten setup, change mode, configure mode, or methodology routing. This skill does not save content or migrate notes.
skills/wiki-mode/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-query
Answer an explicitly vault-scoped question from an Obsidian wiki without changing it. Use when the user selects the vault as the evidence source: query the wiki, query quick, query deep, explain from the wiki, summarize the vault, find in wiki, search the wiki, or based on the wiki. Do not route ordinary general-knowledge questions here.
skills/wiki-query/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
wiki-retrieve
Build and query a vault-local contextual BM25 retrieval index with optional multilingual Nomic cosine reranking; use for retrieve, hybrid retrieval, BM25, rerank, contextual retrieval, chunk search, vault search, semantic search, find relevant passages, or retrieval diagnostics. Derived caches stay under .vault-meta, remote egress requires explicit consent, and unavailable reranking falls back de…

wiki
Initialize, adopt, and route work for a separate Obsidian knowledge vault through the portable claude-obsidian core. Use for vault setup, scaffolding, workspace selection, cross-project configuration, or choosing the correct wiki sub-skill. Triggers: /wiki, set up wiki, scaffold vault, create knowledge base, adopt this vault, Obsidian vault, second brain setup, persistent wiki.

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
