Obsidian Developer Skill

This skill transforms Claude into an expert Obsidian plugin developer and automation engineer. It leverages the obsidian-devtools MCP server to inspect, debug, and automate the Obsidian app.

Quick Start

  1. Connect: obsidianlaunchdebug() — starts Obsidian with CDP enabled
  2. Discover: obsidiandiscoverapi("app.vault") — explore available methods
  3. Execute: obsidian_eval("app.vault.getName()") — run any JavaScript
  4. Automate: Use patterns from patterns/ for common tasks

Workflow

  1. Connect: Ensure Obsidian is running with debug flags.

- Run obsidianlaunchdebug() to start or attach.

  1. Inspect: Understand the current state.

- Use obsidianinspectdom() to see the UI structure. - Use obsidiandiscoverapi() to explore internal APIs. - Refer to knowledge/dom-patterns.md for class names.

  1. Execute: Run automation or queries.

- Use obsidian_eval() to interact with the app object. - Refer to knowledge/api-basics.md for common API calls. - Refer to knowledge/cdp-protocol.md for data passing rules.

  1. Create: Generate visual content.

- Use obsidiancreatecanvas() for spatial layouts. - Refer to knowledge/canvas-api.md for node/edge schemas.

Knowledge Modules

Module Purpose
[API Basics](knowledge/api-basics.md) app.vault, app.workspace, app.plugins
[SDK Reference](knowledge/sdk-reference.md) Python SDK for programmatic access
[Canvas API](knowledge/canvas-api.md) Creating and manipulating canvas files
[Graph View](knowledge/graph-view.md) Graph data extraction and analysis
[CDP Protocol](knowledge/cdp-protocol.md) Runtime.evaluate internals
[DOM Patterns](knowledge/dom-patterns.md) CSS classes for UI automation

Pattern Library

Reusable scripts in patterns/:

Pattern Purpose
[plugin-audit.js](patterns/plugin-audit.js) List enabled plugins with metadata
[theme-extract.js](patterns/theme-extract.js) Dump CSS variables
[dataview-query.js](patterns/dataview-query.js) Run Dataview queries via JS
[frontmatter-batch.js](patterns/frontmatter-batch.js) Batch frontmatter operations
[canvas-generator.js](patterns/canvas-generator.js) Generate canvases from vault data

MCP Tools Reference

Tool Purpose
obsidianlaunchdebug Start/attach to Obsidian with CDP
obsidian_eval Execute JavaScript in Obsidian context
obsidianinspectdom Get summarized DOM snapshot
obsidiandiscoverapi Introspect object methods/properties
obsidiangetfrontmatter Read file frontmatter
obsidianupdatefrontmatter Modify frontmatter key
obsidiancreatecanvas Create .canvas file
obsidiangraphzoom Control graph view zoom

Tips

  • Async is Key: Wrap code in (async () => { ... })() if using await.
  • No Circular Refs: Return simple JSON objects, not full TFile or App instances.
  • Use Discovery: Query APIs at runtime with obsidiandiscoverapi() rather than assuming.
  • Security: The server runs in Safe Mode. File system writes are blocked unless configured.
  • Batch Operations: Use frontmatter-batch.js patterns for vault-wide changes.
