Obsidian CLI — Operate on Obsidian Vaults

Requires the obsidian CLI on $PATH and the Obsidian desktop app running.

obsidian <command> [options]

General Notes

• To get the vault directory path, run obsidian vault info=path.
• file=<name> resolves by name (like wikilinks); path=<path> is an exact path (e.g. folder/note.md).
• Most commands default to the active file when file/path is omitted.
• Quote values with spaces: name="My Note".
• Use \n for newline, \t for tab in content values.
• Target a specific vault: vault=<name>.
• Many commands accept format=json|tsv|csv for structured output.
