Understand it first

Don’t install what you can’t explain. Each of these free tools reads obsidianmd/obsidian-skills when you swap github.com in its link for another address.

See the architecturegitdiagram.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
An interactive diagram of how the parts fit together. Generated by AI.
Read the manualdeepwiki.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
A written guide to the codebase, with a chat you can ask questions. Generated by AI.
Browse in an editorgithub.dev/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
Opens the code in VS Code in your browser. Needs a GitHub sign-in. Same as pressing . on any GitHub repo.
Get it as one filegitingest.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
The whole project as a single text file to paste into Claude or another assistant. Large repos may not fit in one chat.
Or build it on your computer
npx techandria digest obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
Built from the current code, which Techandria hasn’t reviewed. The file says so at the top. Add --only src for part of a large repo.
Let your agent read itgitmcp.io/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
A remote MCP server your agent can connect to and read the docs and code live while it works.
Add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http obsidian-skills-docs https://gitmcp.io/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills

The linked sites are independent services, not part of Techandria. They read the default branch as it is now, not the reviewed commit, and AI-written explanations can be wrong. Repository text you paste into an assistant can contain instructions aimed at it, so treat it as data. None of this is a security review.

Install

A skill is a folder of written instructions your AI agent reads when it needs them. Installing one copies those files into your agent’s skills directory. Nothing runs. More about skills.

Not available through Techandria. Techandria only installs commits a person has approved. This one has not been.

You can still get the code from the source and read it yourself:

git clone https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills

README

Agent Skills for use with Obsidian.

These skills follow the Agent Skills specification so they can be used by any skills-compatible agent, including Claude Code, Codex, and Open Code.

Installation

Claude Code marketplace

From terminal:

claude plugin marketplace add obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
claude plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills

From within a Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add obsidianmd/obsidian-skills
/plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills

To get new skills later, run claude plugin update obsidian@obsidian-skills.

Codex marketplace

codex plugin marketplace add obsidianmd/obsidian-skills

Then install Obsidian from the plugin directory in Codex or the ChatGPT desktop app.

Cursor

Install Obsidian from the Cursor Marketplace.

npx skills

npx skills add https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills

To use ssh instead, if you have a GitHub SSH key set up:

npx skills add git@github.com:obsidianmd/obsidian-skills.git

Manually

Claude Code

Copy the plugins/obsidian/skills/ directory to .claude/skills/ in the root of your Obsidian vault (or whichever folder you're using with Claude Code). See more in the official Claude Skills documentation.

Codex

Copy the plugins/obsidian/skills/ directory into your Codex skills path (typically ~/.agents/skills). See the Agent Skills specification for the standard skill format.

OpenCode

Clone the entire repo into the OpenCode skills directory (~/.opencode/skills/):

git clone https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills

Do not copy only the inner skills/ folder — clone the full repo so the directory structure is ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills/plugins/obsidian/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

OpenCode auto-discovers all SKILL.md files under ~/.opencode/skills/. No changes to opencode.json or any config file are needed. Skills become available after restarting OpenCode.

Release maintenance

Update the plugin version in every manifest with:

./scripts/bump.sh patch

The script also accepts major, minor, or an explicit version like 1.1.0.
