Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.

- Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.
Obsidian CLI
Use the obsidian CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance. Requires Obsidian to be open.
Command reference
Run obsidian help to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: https://help.obsidian.md/cli
Syntax
Parameters take a value with =. Quote values with spaces:
obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world"
Flags are boolean switches with no value:
obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite
For multiline content use \n for newline and \t for tab.
File targeting
Many commands accept file or path to target a file. Without either, the active file is used.
file=<name>— resolves like a wikilink (name only, no path or extension needed)path=<path>— exact path from vault root, e.g.folder/note.md
Vault targeting
Commands target the most recently focused vault by default. Use vault=<name> as the first parameter to target a specific vault:
obsidian vault="My Vault" search query="test"
Common patterns
obsidian read file="My Note"
obsidian create name="New Note" content="# Hello" template="Template" silent
obsidian append file="My Note" content="New line"
obsidian search query="search term" limit=10
obsidian daily:read
obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] New task"
obsidian property:set name="status" value="done" file="My Note"
obsidian tasks daily todo
obsidian tags sort=count counts
obsidian backlinks file="My Note"
Use --copy on any command to copy output to clipboard. Use silent to prevent files from opening. Use total on list commands to get a count.
Plugin development
Develop/test cycle
After making code changes to a plugin or theme, follow this workflow:
- Reload the plugin to pick up changes:
obsidian plugin:reload id=my-plugin - Check for errors — if errors appear, fix and repeat from step 1:
obsidian dev:errors - Verify visually with a screenshot or DOM inspection:
obsidian dev:screenshot path=screenshot.png obsidian dev:dom selector=".workspace-leaf" text - Check console output for warnings or unexpected logs:
obsidian dev:console level=error
Additional developer commands
Run JavaScript in the app context:
obsidian eval code="app.vault.getFiles().length"
Inspect CSS values:
obsidian dev:css selector=".workspace-leaf" prop=background-color
Toggle mobile emulation:
obsidian dev:mobile on
Run obsidian help to see additional developer commands including CDP and debugger controls.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Plans real-user QA deliverables: personas, journey maps, exploratory charters, persona/journey/tour/CFR test cases, regression suites, Figma validation checks, automation intent, and user-impact bug reports. Writes artifacts under <qa-output-path>/qa/ for qa-execution to consume. Use when planning QA before execution, documenting journey-driven test strategy, marking flows that need E2E follow-up, or filing structured bug reports. Do not use for live execution, AI implementation audits, CI gate ownership, or technical integration/security/performance suites; use qa-execution or agent-output-audit instead.

pedronauck/qa-execution
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Executes real-user QA sessions through public interfaces using personas, journeys, exploratory charters, test tours, edge-case probes, CFR checks, and browser evidence. Reads qa-report artifacts from <qa-output-path>/qa/ when present, captures issues/screenshots/reports under the same output tree, and classifies bugs by user impact. Use when validating a release candidate, migration, refactor, or user-facing change against production-like behavior. Do not use for AI implementation audits, task-status reconciliation, CI gate runs, integration/security/performance templates, or flaky-test triage; use agent-output-audit for those.

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Transform outside-of-diff review files into properly formatted issue files for a given PR. Use when converting review files from ai-docs/reviews-pr-<PR>/outside/ into issue format in ai-docs/reviews-pr-<PR>/issues/. Automatically determines starting issue number and preserves all metadata (file path, date, status) from original review files. Don't use for inline-diff review files, non-PR review artifacts, or creating GitHub issues directly.

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Enforce root-cause fixes over workarounds, hacks, and symptom patches in all software engineering tasks. Use when debugging issues, fixing bugs, resolving test failures, planning solutions, making architectural decisions, or reviewing code changes. Activates gate functions that detect and reject common workaround patterns such as type assertions, lint suppressions, error swallowing, timing hacks, and monkey patches. Don't use for trivial formatting changes or documentation-only edits.
