Write Obsidian-compatible .md notes and .canvas files. Use when creating notes, knowledge bases, daily logs, project docs, or canvas diagrams for Obsidian va...
Usage Guidance
Before installing, ask the skill author to explain exactly how Git commit/push will be performed: which git binary or client will be used, where the repository remote is configured, and what credentials (SSH keys, personal access token) the agent will use or require. If you plan to let the agent push to a remote, prefer giving it a minimal-scope token for a specific repository, or run it in a throwaway vault/repository first. Confirm whether the agent will ever read files outside the declared vault path and verify .gitignore excludes any secrets. Consider limiting autonomous invocation or requiring explicit user confirmation for any push operations until authentication and remote-target details are clarified.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-writer
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides comprehensive instructions and reference material for an AI agent to create Obsidian-compatible Markdown and Canvas files. It includes specific formatting rules, vault structure recommendations, and a workflow for Git-based synchronization. No malicious code, data exfiltration attempts, or harmful prompt injections were identified; the instructions are well-structured and include safety guardrails such as avoiding modification of configuration files.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's purpose is to write .md and .canvas files and 'Git commit + push (agent does this automatically)'. However, the package declares no required binaries (no git), no required env vars (no GIT_* or SSH keys), and no config paths (no repo path or remote). A skill that will perform git push logically needs either the git binary and access to SSH keys or an API token and remote URL — those are missing.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within the Obsidian file/domain (vault path, file formats, canvas JSON). However, it instructs the agent to perform automatic Git commits and pushes and to sync via a user device/iCloud without specifying which remote, which credentials, or what safeguards are used. It also has a minor tension: it advises tracking .obsidian/ (to sync plugins/themes) but also says 'Never modify .obsidian/ config files.'
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill — so nothing is written to disk at install time. This minimizes supply-chain risk. (The regex scanner had no files to analyze beyond docs.)
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are declared, yet the workflow requires performing Git push operations. That implies implicit use of the agent's existing git credentials/SSH keys or asking the user for credentials at runtime. The absence of declared credential requirements is disproportionate to the stated automatic Git behavior and should be clarified.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false and no special privileges are requested. The skill is user-invocable and allows autonomous model invocation (the platform default). There is no indication it will modify other skills or persist beyond its own scope.
