Obsidian CLI

Use the obsidian CLI to work through a running Obsidian instance instead of treating the vault like a plain folder.

This skill is especially valuable when the user wants live vault operations or plugin/theme debugging inside the app.

Preconditions

• Obsidian must be open.
• The Obsidian CLI must be installed and available as obsidian.
• When working with a specific vault, prefer vault="..." so commands target the right place.

If you're unsure which commands exist, run:

obsidian help
