Install in OpenClaw
/install obsidian-cli-official
Description
Official Obsidian CLI (v1.12+). Complete command-line interface for Obsidian notes, tasks, search, tags, properties, links, and more.
Usage Guidance
Install only if you want an assistant to operate your Obsidian vault. Use explicit rules requiring confirmation before delete, restore, publish, plugin install or enable, theme/workspace changes, bulk edits, and any eval or developer command. Keep backups or version history enabled, limit use to trusted vaults, and verify the optional Homebrew/GitHub source before installing outside ClawHub.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-cli-official
Version: 4.0.2
The bundle provides a comprehensive wrapper for the Obsidian CLI, including high-risk commands such as 'obsidian eval' (arbitrary JavaScript execution) and 'devtools' (Electron developer tools access) documented in SKILL.md. While these are features of the official Obsidian CLI, they represent a significant attack surface for prompt injection. Additionally, the bundle contains non-standard internal development logs and LLM-generated verification reports (e.g., final-decision-report.md, project-completion-report.md) which, while not explicitly malicious, are unusual artifacts in a production skill bundle.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The artifacts coherently describe a complete Obsidian CLI reference and wrapper, but the exposed capability set includes vault reads and writes, deletes, restores, publishing, plugin and theme changes, workspace changes, developer tools, and JavaScript eval inside Obsidian.
Instruction Scope
The documentation presents automatic vault management and high-impact examples as normal workflows, with little explicit guidance requiring user confirmation, scoped vault access, backups, dry runs, or allowlists for destructive, publishing, plugin, or eval actions.
Install Mechanism
The skill metadata requires an existing obsidian binary and the included shell scripts are straightforward wrappers. The optional Homebrew tap and bundled development reports are unusual but not evidence of hidden installation behavior or malware.
Credentials
Access to Obsidian is expected for the stated purpose, but an Obsidian vault may contain sensitive personal or business notes, and the skill encourages broad agent-driven reading and modification.
Persistence & Privilege
The documented commands can persistently modify or delete notes, tasks, properties, bookmarks, workspaces, plugins, themes, sync/history state, and published content, and can execute JavaScript through Obsidian eval.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install obsidian-cli-official - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/obsidian-cli-official - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
