Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

中文执行导读

这是 obsidian-markdown 的中文 runtime 入口。

中文 Obsidian 请求命中本 skill 时,先确认文件类型和目标操作,再按下方上游流程执行。输出说明使用简体中文;wikilink、embed、callout、property、filter、formula、CLI 参数、schema、路径、URL 和代码保持原样。

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.

Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note

  1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types.
  2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.
  3. Link related notes using wikilinks ([[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.
  4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for all embed types.
  5. Add callouts for highlighted information using > [!type] syntax. See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for all callout types.
  6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view.

When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and [text](url) for external URLs only.

Internal Links (Wikilinks)

[[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:

This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id

For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:

> A quote block

^quote-id

Embeds

Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline:

![[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

See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for audio, video, search embeds, and external images.

Callouts

> [!note]
> Basic callout.

> [!warning] Custom Title
> Callout with a custom title.

> [!faq]- Collapsed by default
> Foldable callout (- collapsed, + expanded).

Common types: note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, todo.

See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts.

Properties (Frontmatter)

---
title: My Note
date: 2024-01-15
tags:
  - project
  - active
aliases:
  - Alternative Name
cssclasses:
  - custom-class
---

Default properties: tags (searchable labels), aliases (alternative note names for link suggestions), cssclasses (CSS classes for styling).

See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types, tag syntax rules, and advanced usage.

Tags

#tag                    Inline tag
#nested/tag             Nested tag with hierarchy

Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes. Tags can also be defined in frontmatter under the tags property.

Comments

This is visible %%but this is hidden%% text.

%%
This entire block is hidden in reading view.
%%

Obsidian-Specific Formatting

==Highlighted text==                   Highlight syntax

Math (LaTeX)

Inline: $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$

Block:
$$
\frac{a}{b} = c
$$
