obsidian-llm-wiki: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/obsidian-markdown/SKILL.md

obsidian-markdown is a skill for Claude Code from levi-qiao/obsidian-llm-wiki. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,391 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of obsidian-markdown, MIT.

A guide for creating and editing Markdown notes in Obsidian, a note-taking app that adds its own links, embeds, properties, and callouts to standard Markdown.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create notes, connect them with internal wikilinks, embed notes, images, or PDFs, add properties and callouts, and check how the result renders in Obsidian.
Why use it?
It helps keep Obsidian notes valid and consistent, including features that ordinary Markdown does not support.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian-markdown scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 197 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.

Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note

  1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See PROPERTIES.md for all property types.
  2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.
  3. Link related notes using wikilinks ([[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.
  4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See EMBEDS.md for all embed types.
  5. Add callouts for highlighted information using > [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types.
  6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view.

When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and [text](url) for external URLs only.

[[Note Name]]                          Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]]             Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]]                  Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]]                Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]]              Same-note heading link

Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph:

This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id

For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:

> A quote block

^quote-id

Embeds

Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline:

![[Note Name]]                         Embed full note
![[Note Name#Heading]]                 Embed section
![[image.png]]                         Embed image
![[image.png|300]]                     Embed image with width
![[document.pdf#page=3]]               Embed PDF page

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
