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
Review this skill before installing. Its Obsidian behavior is expected, but avoid letting an agent paste arbitrary journal entries, search terms, vault names, or paths directly into the provided shell templates. The publisher should fix the merge-conflict markers and document safe argument passing before broad use.
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
Credentials
Using obsidian-cli to read and modify an Obsidian vault is proportionate to the skill's purpose, but these operations affect user notes and should be explicitly controlled.
Install Mechanism
The SKILL.md frontmatter contains Git merge-conflict markers, which makes metadata parsing ambiguous and indicates the package was published in an unresolved state.
Instruction Scope
Several commands present user-controlled placeholders such as ENTRY_TEXT, TERM, VAULT_NAME, and vault names inside shell snippets without instructions to pass them as safe process arguments, creating a realistic command-injection risk if an agent performs direct substitution.
Persistence & Privilege
No background service, scheduled task, or system persistence is present; the only persistent effects are expected vault configuration and note changes.
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is to manage Obsidian daily notes, and the documented create, append, read, and search actions fit that purpose.
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
