Obsidian Vault Management
When to Use This Skill
| Use this skill when... | Use the alternative instead when... |
|---|---|
| Listing every vault Obsidian knows about | Listing files inside the active vault — use vault-files |
| Targeting a non-active vault for one command | Switching the active vault permanently — vault:open (TUI only) |
| Reporting vault info (path, file count, size) for diagnostics | Reading a specific note — use vault-files |
The CLI defaults to the active vault (the one currently focused in the
Obsidian app), unless your terminal's working directory is itself inside a
vault folder — in which case that vault wins. The vault= prefix overrides
both, scoped to a single command invocation.
Prerequisites
- Obsidian desktop v1.12.4+ with CLI enabled
