The Agent Skills Directory

[SAFE]: The skill guides the user through setting up a local development environment for Obsidian plugins, including cloning templates, symlinking directories, and configuring build tools. The instructions follow established best practices for plugin development.
[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Instructions include cloning the official Obsidian sample plugin from github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-sample-plugin. This is a well-known repository provided by the official Obsidian organization and is the standard starting point for plugin development.
[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: Uses standard development commands such as git, npm, ln, and mkdir to manage project files and dependencies. These commands are localized to the user's development directory and a dedicated vault path (~/ObsidianDev).
[DYNAMIC_EXECUTION]: Configures esbuild for watch mode and vitest for unit testing. These are industry-recognized development tools used to compile and test TypeScript code during the development lifecycle.
[PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Notes that Windows users may require an administrator terminal to execute the mklink command for creating directory symlinks. This is a documented operating system requirement and is presented as a manual step for the user to perform.
