Obsidian Skills is a collection of agent skills published by the Obsidian team (obsidianmd) in the Agent Skills specification format. The skills give skills-compatible agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode the knowledge to read and write Obsidian's file formats and to drive Obsidian tooling, so a vault can serve as a local-first knowledge base or wiki for an agent.
The repository currently includes seven skills: obsidian-markdown (Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts and properties), obsidian-bases (.base files with views, filters and formulas), json-canvas (.canvas files), obsidian-cli (interacting with vaults and developing plugins and themes), obsidian-headless (syncing and publishing vaults without the desktop app), defuddle (extracting clean markdown from web pages) and knap (rendering Markdown templates from JSON or CSV data).
Installation is via the Claude Code plugin marketplace, the Codex marketplace, the Cursor Marketplace, npx skills add, or by manually copying the skills directory into the agent's skills path. The skills are plain instruction files, so they run within whichever agent and model the user already uses; they do not include a model themselves.

Agent skills built on the agent skill specification that let agents such as Hermes, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor work with Obsidian markdown notes. This allows using Obsidian as a local-first wiki or knowledge base for an agent.
