Obsidian skills

Install

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

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

A set of skills that teach an agent to create and edit Obsidian files correctly. They cover Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds and callouts, Bases files with views and formulas, JSON Canvas, and vault operations through the Obsidian CLI. The defuddle skill extracts clean markdown from web pages to save tokens, and knap renders Markdown templates from JSON or CSV.

Who it is for. Obsidian users who connect an agent to their notes vault.

Example request

Create a meeting note in the vault with wikilinks to attendees and add it to the projects base

Limitations

The defuddle and obsidian-cli skills need their CLI tools installed. For OpenCode you must clone the whole repo, not just the skills folder.

How to disable. Remove the obsidian plugin in Claude Code, or delete the skills folder from .claude, ~/.codex/skills or ~/.opencode/skills.

Security check

• Skills call external CLIs: Obsidian CLI and defuddle
• Defuddle fetches web pages

README in short

A short README for a set of Agent Skills for Obsidian following the open spec. The skills work in Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode. It covers installation via the marketplace, npx skills and manual setup per agent. A table lists six skills.

name: defuddle
description: Extract clean markdown content from web pages using Defuddle CLI, removing clutter and navigation to save tokens. Use instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page. Do NOT use for URLs ending in .md — those are already markdown, use WebFetch directly.

# Defuddle

Use Defuddle CLI to extract clean readable content from web pages. Prefer over WebFetch for standard web pages — it removes navigation, ads, and clutter, reducing token usage.

If not installed: `npm install -g defuddle`

## Usage

Always use `--md` for markdown output:

```bash
defuddle parse <url> --md
```

Save to file:

```bash
defuddle parse <url> --md -o content.md
```

Extract specific metadata:

```bash
defuddle parse <url> -p title
defuddle parse <url> -p description
defuddle parse <url> -p domain
```

## Output formats

| Flag | Format |
|------|--------|
| `--md` | Markdown (default choice) |
| `--json` | JSON with both HTML and markdown |
| (none) | HTML |
| `-p <name>` | Specific metadata property |
