Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

\n

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.

\n

When to Use

\n\n

Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note

\n
    \n
  1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See PROPERTIES.md for all property types.
    2. \n
  2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.
    3. \n
  3. Link related notes using wikilinks ([[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.
    4. \n
  4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See EMBEDS.md for all embed types.
    5. \n
  5. Add callouts for highlighted information using > [!type] syntax. See CALLOUTS.md for all callout types.
    6. \n
  6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view.
    7. \n
\n
\n

When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and plain Markdown links for external URLs only.

\n
\n

Internal Links (Wikilinks)

\n
[[Note Name]]                          Link to note\n[[Note Name|Display Text]]             Custom display text\n[[Note Name#Heading]]                  Link to heading\n[[Note Name#^block-id]]                Link to block\n[[#Heading in same note]]              Same-note heading link\n
\n

Define a block ID by appending ^block-id to any paragraph:

\n
This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id\n
\n

For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:

\n
> A quote block\n\n^quote-id\n
\n

Embeds

\n

Prefix any wikilink with ! to embed its content inline:

\n
![[Note Name]]                         Embed full note\n![[Note Name#Heading]]                 Embed section\n![[image.png]]                         Embed image\n![[image.png|300]]                     Embed image with width\n![[document.pdf#page=3]]               Embed PDF page\n
\n

See EMBEDS.md for audio, video, search embeds, and external images.

\n

Callouts

\n
> [!note]\n> Basic callout.\n\n> [!warning] Custom Title\n> Callout with a custom title.\n\n> [!faq]- Collapsed by default\n> Foldable callout (- collapsed, + expanded).\n
\n

Common types: note, tip, warning, info, example, quote, bug, danger, success, failure, question, abstract, todo.

\n

See CALLOUTS.md for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts.

\n

Properties (Frontmatter)

\n
---\ntitle: My Note\ndate: 2024-01-15\ntags:\n  - project\n  - active\naliases:\n  - Alternative Name\ncssclasses:\n  - custom-class\n---\n
\n

Default properties: tags (searchable labels), aliases (alternative note names for link suggestions), cssclasses (CSS classes for styling).

\n

See PROPERTIES.md for all property types, tag syntax rules, and advanced usage.

\n

Tags

\n
#tag                    Inline tag\n#nested/tag             Nested tag with hierarchy\n
\n

Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes. Tags can also be defined in frontmatter under the tags property.

\n

Comments

\n
This is visible %%but this is hidden%% text.\n\n%%\nThis entire block is hidden in reading view.\n%%\n
\n

Obsidian-Specific Formatting

\n
==Highlighted text==                   Highlight syntax\n
\n

Math (LaTeX)

\n
Inline: $e^{i\\pi} + 1 = 0$\n\nBlock:\n$$\n\\frac{a}{b} = c\n$$\n
\n

Diagrams (Mermaid)

\n
```mermaid\ngraph TD\n    A[Start] --> B{Decision}\n    B -->|Yes| C[Do this]\n    B -->|No| D[Do that]\n```\n
\n

To link Mermaid nodes to Obsidian notes, add class NodeName internal-link;.

\n

Footnotes

\n
Text with a footnote[^1].\n\n[^1]: Footnote content.\n\nInline footnote.^[This is inline.]\n
\n
