Obsidian Properties Management

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when...	Use the alternative instead when...
Reading, setting, or removing a single YAML property on a live note via the running CLI	Doing offline bulk frontmatter rewrites across many files — use `vault-frontmatter`
Updating `status:`, `tags:`, or `aliases:` on a note Obsidian currently has open	Editing note body content rather than frontmatter — use `vault-files`
Confirming a property change is reflected in Obsidian's metadata cache	Repairing broken wikilinks after a rename — use `vault-wikilinks`

Read, set, and remove YAML frontmatter properties on Obsidian notes using the official CLI.
