From Obsidian CEO Steph Ango (kepano): teaches agents to write Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases and Canvas files and work with vaults through the Obsidian CLI, plus skills like web page content extraction. Also installable into Codex and other agents via npx skills.

Teaches agents to read and write Obsidian vaults: Obsidian-flavored Markdown, Bases data views, JSON Canvas and the Obsidian CLI, plus Defuddle web content extraction and Knap template rendering. Maintained by Obsidian CEO kepano.

Turns an Obsidian vault into a local-first knowledge base: imports sources into interlinked notes with citations, answers questions from what is already in the vault, and adds 15 skills including search, vault health checks and Canvas knowledge graphs.

Extracts the main content of a web page, stripping comments, sidebars, headers and footers, and outputs clean HTML or Markdown with metadata like title, author and publish date, saving tokens when agents read the web. Built for Obsidian Web Clipper by kepano; still in development.

Semi-automated research assistant for CS and AI researchers that links ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reporting, paper writing and reviewer responses, and keeps project knowledge in Obsidian. Branches for Codex and other agents exist.

Semi-automated research workflow for computer science and AI researchers: ideation, Zotero literature management, experiment analysis and reports, paper writing and polishing, and rebuttals, with optional Obsidian knowledge base. 40+ skills; also installable as a Claude Code plugin.

Uses Obsidian's community Local REST API plugin so agents can list, read, search, append to and delete notes, and insert content at a heading, block reference or frontmatter field. Install that plugin and configure its API key first.

Stores agent memory as local Markdown notes that both people and AI can read, write, search and link, and you can open them directly in Obsidian. Local-first, open source and free, with a paid cloud sync option.

Visualization skills for Obsidian that turn text into Excalidraw hand-drawn diagrams, Mermaid charts and Obsidian Canvas mind maps. Marked experimental by the author; the Excalidraw skill needs the matching Obsidian plugin.

Recommends daily papers from arXiv and Semantic Scholar by research interest, reads them and writes illustrated Obsidian notes and a paper graph; can also search venues like CVPR and NeurIPS. Needs Python 3, Obsidian, a vault path and an interests config; the web app needs an Anthropic API key.

Lets agents read and write your local Obsidian vault directly: search notes, append to daily notes, tidy tags and properties, and summarize reading or research notes by topic. No need to open Obsidian or install plugins; access is limited to the vault and can be read-only. Needs Node.js 20+.

Reads and writes Obsidian vaults from the terminal: search, view, create, edit, move and delete notes, and manage frontmatter and daily notes, without Obsidian running. Good for agents maintaining a personal knowledge base. Formerly Obsidian CLI.

Two companion skills: /tutor-setup turns PDFs, lecture notes or a codebase into an Obsidian study vault with concept notes and practice questions, and /tutor quizzes you with multiple-choice questions on weak spots and tracks mastery. For students reviewing or self-studying; best viewed in Obsidian.

Pulls new papers from Hugging Face Daily Papers and arXiv, scores them by research area into a recommendation page, and writes deep-read Obsidian notes for key ones; can also batch-read Zotero collections. Needs Python 3, Obsidian and poppler; copy the whole skills folder per the README.

Turns a paper (title, DOI, arXiv ID or local PDF) into a structured Obsidian note covering the research question, method, key formulas, figures and limitations; can read local Zotero items first and includes a glossary-card skill. Needs Python 3.10+ and PyMuPDF.
