BRAT Skill

This skill enables Claude Code to work with the BRAT plugin — the standard tool for installing and managing beta Obsidian plugins and themes directly from GitHub repositories.

Overview

BRAT (Beta Reviewer's Auto-update Tool) lets users install Obsidian plugins and themes that are not yet in the official community directory. It pulls releases directly from GitHub repos, tracks versions, and auto-updates on startup.
