Description
Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it claims (an obsidian-cli helper) but review a few things before installing: 1) The SKILL.md reads ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json (macOS); if you’re on Linux/Windows or expect cross-platform use, confirm path handling. 2) The Homebrew formula is hosted in a third‑party tap (yakitrak); verify the tap and formula source before brew install to avoid installing untrusted binaries. 3) The skill will read your Obsidian config to find vault paths—these are local user files (not secret keys, but they reveal note locations). If you’re uncomfortable, run obsidian-cli manually first to verify behavior, or inspect the brew formula source. If you can provide the brew formula URL or the formula source repo, I can re-evaluate and raise or lower confidence.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-cli-notesmd
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for managing Obsidian vaults using the legitimate third-party 'obsidian-cli' tool. It includes standard installation steps via Homebrew and guides the agent on locating vault configurations in the user's Library folder. No malicious code, data exfiltration, or harmful prompt injections were identified; the behavior is entirely consistent with the stated purpose of note automation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (work with Obsidian vaults via obsidian-cli) matches the declared required binary and the instructions. However, the SKILL.md refers to a macOS-specific config file (~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json) even though the skill metadata does not declare any OS restriction or config paths. This is a minor mismatch in declared requirements vs. runtime guidance.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions mostly stay on‑task (search, create, move, delete notes using obsidian-cli). They explicitly instruct reading the user-specific config file to find active vaults, which is relevant to the purpose but is an undeclared file read of a user data path. The instructions also assume Obsidian’s URI handler and macOS paths; there is no guidance for Linux/Windows locations.
Install Mechanism
The install spec uses Homebrew (brew formula yakitrak/yakitrak/obsidian-cli) which will create the obsidian-cli binary. Using Homebrew is normal, but this is a third‑party tap (yakitrak) rather than the core Homebrew repository: moderate risk if you don't trust that tap. No arbitrary downloads or archives are present.
Credentials
The skill declares no environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to its stated purpose (it only needs the obsidian-cli binary). The only runtime data the instructions reference is the user config file (vault locations).
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no install-time scripts or code files are included. This is an instruction-only skill that relies on an external binary; it does not request persistent elevated privileges or modify other skills' configs.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install obsidian-cli-notesmd - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/obsidian-cli-notesmd - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
