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 from a trusted source, confirm which Obsidian vault is configured as default, and review create/append requests before allowing them. Avoid broad reads or searches if your vault contains notes you do not want the agent to see.
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 skill is instruction-only and its capabilities fit the stated purpose: manage Obsidian Daily Notes through obsidian-cli, including creating/appending entries and reading/searching vault content.
Instruction Scope
Commands are explicit local examples using obsidian-cli, date, and printf; I found no hidden instructions, unrelated execution, exfiltration, deletion, or prompt-injection behavior.
Install Mechanism
It depends on an external obsidian-cli installation and the SKILL.md contains unresolved merge-conflict markers in frontmatter, which is a quality/provenance issue but not evidence of malicious behavior.
Credentials
Local vault read/search and append access is proportionate to the note-management purpose, but may surface private journal or work-note content to the agent.
Persistence & Privilege
The setup flow can persist a default Obsidian vault via obsidian-cli set-default; this is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but users should confirm the intended 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
