Obsidian Vault Skill

Manage Obsidian vaults directly via filesystem tools. No external CLI required — uses built-in read, write, list, and edit tools to work with vault files.

Vault Structure

An Obsidian vault is a directory containing markdown files and a .obsidian/ config folder:

MyVault/
├── .obsidian/           # Obsidian config (DO NOT modify unless asked)
│   ├── app.json         # App settings
│   ├── appearance.json  # Theme settings
│   ├── community-plugins.json  # Installed plugin IDs
│   └── plugins/         # Plugin configs
├── Daily Notes/         # Common daily notes folder
├── Templates/           # Common templates folder
├── Attachments/         # Images, PDFs, etc.
├── Notes/               # User's notes
└── *.md                 # Root-level notes

Identify a vault: A directory is a vault if it contains .obsidian/ subdirectory.

Frontmatter (Properties)

Notes use YAML frontmatter between --- delimiters at the top of the file:

---
title: Meeting Notes
date: 2026-02-26
tags:
  - meeting
  - project-alpha
status: draft
aliases:
  - Alpha Meeting
---

# Meeting Notes

Read frontmatter

Read the file and parse everything between the first pair.
