Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.
[[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.![[embed]] syntax. See EMBEDS.md for all embed types.> [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types.When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use
[[wikilinks]]for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and standard Markdown links with anhttps://URL for external pages only.
[[Note Name]] Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]] Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]] Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]] Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]] Same-note heading link
Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph:

For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:
> A quote block
^quote-id

![[Note Name]] Embed full note
![[Note Name#Heading]] Embed section
![[image.png]] Embed image
![[image.png|300]] Embed image with width
![[document.pdf#page=3]] Embed PDF page
