THE CREATOR OF OBSIDIAN JUST TURNED YOUR NOTE VAULT INTO AN AI AGENT.

Not a plugin.

Not an integration.

A full agent skills system that teaches Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode to READ, WRITE, and REASON inside your Obsidian vault like a power user.

27,000 GitHub stars in days.

Here is what shipped at launch:

obsidian-markdown — wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, the full Obsidian flavor Claude now understands natively.

obsidian-bases — Claude can create .base files with views, filters, formulas, and summaries.

json-canvas — Claude builds .canvas files with nodes, edges, groups, and connections.

obsidian-cli — Claude controls your vault, develops plugins and themes directly from the terminal.

defuddle — strips web pages into clean Markdown so you stop burning tokens on clutter.

Install the whole thing in one line:

npx skills add http://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills…

Then connect it to Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode.

That is it.

Your second brain now has an agent inside it that understands how Obsidian actually works.

Not a generic AI that pastes text into files.

An agent that knows what a wikilink is. What a callout is. What a canvas is.

Built on the open Agent Skills spec. MIT license. Free forever.

The gap between people using Obsidian as a note app and people using it as an AI operating system just got wider.

Installation

Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add kepano/obsidian-skills
/plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills

npx skills

Manually

Claude Code

Add the contents of this repo to a /.claude folder in the root of your Obsidian vault (or whichever folder you’re using with Claude Code). See more in the official Claude Skills documentation.

Codex CLI

Copy the skills/ directory into your Codex skills path (typically ~/.codex/skills). See the Agent Skills specification for the standard skill format.

OpenCode

Clone the entire repo into the OpenCode skills directory (~/.opencode/skills/):

git clone https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills

Do not copy only the inner skills/ folder — clone the full repo so the directory structure is ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

OpenCode auto-discovers all SKILL.md files under ~/.opencode/skills/. No changes to opencode.json or any config file are needed. Skills become available after restarting OpenCode.
