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.

Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian specific extensions standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge. Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note 1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types. 2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian specific syntax below. 3. Link related notes using wikilinks ( [[Note]] ) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs. 4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for all embed types. 5. Add callouts for highlighted information using [!type] syntax. See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for all callout types. 6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view. When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and [text](url) for external URLs only. Internal Links (Wikilinks) Define a block ID by appending ^block id to any paragraph: For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block: Embeds Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline: See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for audio, video, search embeds, and external images. Callouts Common types: note , tip , warning , info , example , quote , bug , danger , success , failure , question , abstract , todo . See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts. Properties (Frontmatter) Default properties: tags (searchable labels), aliases (alternative note names for link suggestions), cssclasses (CSS classes for styling). See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types, tag syntax rules, and advanced usage. Tags Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes. Tags can also be defined in frontmatter under the tags property.
