obsidian-cli

Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.

Quality

Content

100%

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a tight, executable reference: concise with no concept padding, full of copy-paste commands, and featuring a plugin develop/test workflow with an explicit error-feedback loop. Progressive disclosure is handled well by offloading the full command list to the live CLI help and external docs.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and assumes Claude's competence — it never explains what Obsidian, a vault, or a plugin is, and jumps straight to syntax, targeting, and executable patterns, matching 'every token earns its place'; it avoids the unnecessary-concept-explanation failure of level 2.

3 / 3

Actionability

It is packed with copy-paste-ready executable commands (e.g. 'obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world"', 'obsidian search query="search term" limit=10') with concrete parameter syntax, satisfying 'fully executable code/commands'; it is not vague or pseudocode (2).

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

The 'Develop/test cycle' is a clearly numbered sequence (Reload -> Check for errors -> Verify visually -> Check console) with an explicit validation checkpoint and feedback loop ('if errors appear, fix and repeat from step 1'), matching the 'clear sequence with explicit validation steps; feedback loops for error recovery' anchor; it is not a flat list lacking checkpoints (2).

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist, so this scores the body structure: it is well-organized into clear sections and appropriately defers the full command catalogue to the live 'obsidian help' (noted as always up to date) and the docs URL rather than inlining everything, matching well-signaled navigation; it is not a monolithic wall of text or poorly-signaled reference (2).

Description

100%

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is strong across all dimensions: it states concrete capabilities, includes a clear 'Use when' trigger with natural user phrasings, and occupies a distinct Obsidian-specific niche. No vague fluff or over-claims are present.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists many concrete actions — 'read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties' and 'reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor; it is not merely naming a domain with a few actions (2).

3 / 3

Completeness

It explicitly states both what the skill does (vault CRUD + plugin/theme dev commands) and when to use it via a clear 'Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault...' trigger, satisfying the both-what-and-when anchor; it is not missing the when clause (2).

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

The 'Use when' clause surfaces natural phrasings users would actually say — 'interact with their Obsidian vault', 'manage notes', 'search vault content', 'develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes' — giving good coverage rather than only some relevant keywords (2).

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Obsidian-vault and plugin/theme-development niche is highly specific with distinct triggers, making it unlikely to fire for unrelated skills; it is not generic enough to overlap with similar skills (2).
