Obsidian CLI Skill

The official Obsidian command-line interface allows you to interact with your vault from the terminal — reading notes, searching, managing properties, handling tasks, and more.

Prerequisites

Verify the CLI is installed and running:

obsidian --version
obsidian help

Requirements:

• Obsidian v1.12+ (released late 2024)
• Catalyst license or higher (Obsidian Sync, Publish, or community support)
• Obsidian must be running — the CLI communicates via IPC with a live instance
• macOS, Windows, or Linux support
