Obsidian Templates

Intent Router

Load sections based on the task:

• Core Templates plugin configuration and built-in variables → references/core-templates-reference.md
• Templater plugin syntax, tp.* functions, and script blocks → references/templater-syntax.md
• Frontmatter injection, daily note templates, and template inheritance → references/frontmatter-templates.md

Overview

This skill covers template authoring inside Obsidian vaults. Two template systems are available: the Core Templates plugin (built-in, simple variable substitution) and the Templater community plugin (full scripting, dynamic execution, file and system access).

Use it when creating daily note templates, note scaffolds, frontmatter schemas, or reusable content blocks that auto-populate on note creation.
