Purpose

This skill teaches agents the complete Obsidian Flavored Markdown specification — the set of syntax extensions that Obsidian adds on top of standard CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown. These extensions are not valid in plain Markdown editors and must be written correctly to work in Obsidian.

Standard Markdown knowledge is assumed. This skill covers only the Obsidian-specific additions: wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties (frontmatter), block IDs, comments, and Obsidian-specific formatting. Agents that generate Markdown without this skill will produce notes that look correct in a plain editor but break Obsidian's linking, embedding, and graph features.

This skill is the foundation of all Obsidian-related work in this repository. Other skills such as obsidian-links, obsidian-frontmatter, and obsidian-note-builder build on top of the syntax defined here.
