Description
Manage Obsidian Daily Notes via obsidian-cli. Create and open daily notes, append entries (journals, logs, tasks, links), read past notes by date, and search vault content. Handles relative dates like "yesterday", "last Friday", "3 days ago".
Usage Guidance
Install obsidian-cli only from a trusted source, confirm which Obsidian vault is configured as default, and review any append/create request before allowing it. Avoid broad searches or reads if your vault contains notes you do not want surfaced to the agent.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-daily
Version: 1.2.1
The skill bundle is benign. It provides instructions and commands for an AI agent to interact with Obsidian Daily Notes using the `obsidian-cli` tool. All commands are local, directly related to managing Obsidian notes (create, append, read, search), and use standard shell utilities (`date`, `printf`) in a safe manner. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the agent to perform actions outside the stated purpose.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The documented capabilities fit the stated purpose: configure an Obsidian vault, open/create daily notes, append entries, read notes by date, and search vault content. These can expose or modify private notes, but that is central to the skill's function.
Instruction Scope
Commands are explicit examples using obsidian-cli, date, and printf; no hidden background behavior, exfiltration, deletion, or unrelated execution is shown. Users should still verify the target vault and appended text before writes.
Install Mechanism
The skill depends on an external obsidian-cli installation via Homebrew or Scoop and does not pin or package that dependency. The SKILL.md frontmatter also contains unresolved merge-conflict markers, which is a quality/provenance concern but not evidence of malicious behavior.
Credentials
Access is local and scoped through the configured Obsidian vault, but read and search commands may place personal journal or work-note content into the agent context.
Persistence & Privilege
The setup step can persist a default vault for obsidian-cli using set-default. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but future commands may target that saved vault.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install obsidian-daily - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/obsidian-daily - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
