canvas: Visual Reference Layer
The three knowledge capture layers:
/save→ text synthesis (wiki/questions/, wiki/concepts/)/autoresearch→ structured knowledge (wiki/sources/, wiki/concepts/)/canvas→ visual references (wiki/canvases/)
A canvas is a JSON file Obsidian renders as an infinite visual board. This skill reads and writes canvas JSON directly. Read references/canvas-spec.md for the full format reference before making any edits. This spec aligns with the JSON Canvas open standard. If the kepano/obsidian-skills plugin is installed, its json-canvas skill is the authoritative canvas spec reference. Otherwise, use the guidance below.
