Obsidian Plugman

Plugman is a standalone, npm-like command-line manager for Obsidian community plugins. Each command operates on exactly one Vault: the Vault Root that is the current working directory. It works while Obsidian is open (coordinating disable/reload with the app) and while it is closed.

This skill covers operating the plugman executable. It does not cover building or developing Plugman itself.

1. Check the CLI is installed

plugman --version

If missing, install it for the current user (no admin rights needed):

# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://github.com/kriss-spy/plugman/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
