Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
This skill enables skills-compatible agents to create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown, including all Obsidian-specific syntax extensions.
Obsidian uses a combination of Markdown flavors:
This is a paragraph.
This is another paragraph (blank line between creates separate paragraphs).
For a line break within a paragraph, add two spaces at the end
or use Shift+Enter.
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6
| Style | Syntax | Example | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bold | **text** or __text__ | **Bold** | Bold |
| Italic | *text* or _text_ | *Italic* | Italic |
| Bold + Italic | ***text*** | ***Both*** | Both |
| Strikethrough | ~~text~~ | ~~Striked~~ | |
| Highlight | ==text== | ==Highlighted== | ==Highlighted== |
| Inline code | `code` | `code` | code |
Use backslash to escape special characters:
\*This won't be italic\*
\#This won't be a heading
1\. This won't be a list item
Common characters to escape: \*, \_, \#, \`, \|, \~
