Obsidian Canvas

This skill handles the creation and manipulation of .canvas files (JSON Canvas).

Core Workflow

1. Library: Utilization of the provided scripts/canvas_lib.py is MANDATORY. Do not write raw JSON.
2. Execution: Construct a JSON payload and pipe it to the library script via stdin (CLI mode). Do not create temporary Python scripts.
3. Layout: Focus on logical coordinates (x,y). The library handles ID generation, node height, and edge routing automatically.

Resources

• Library: scripts/canvas_lib.py (Core logic for nodes, groups, and smart edges).
• CLI Spec: references/library_spec.md - Read strictly for JSON format.
• Specification: See references/spec.md for the detailed JSON schema.
• Example: See assets/flowchart.canvas.
