Getting Started

Quick Start Tool

For new plugin projects, use the companion obsidian-plugin-creator skill:

• Install it alongside this skill: npx skills add gapmiss/obsidian-plugin-skill
• Or run the generator directly: node <skill-path>/obsidian-plugin-creator/create-plugin.js
• Generates minimal, best-practice boilerplate with no sample code
• Detects existing projects and only adds missing files
• All generated code follows these guidelines automatically
