Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

This skill enables skills-compatible agents to create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown, including all Obsidian-specific syntax extensions.

Overview

Obsidian uses a combination of Markdown flavors:

Basic Formatting

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

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.

Headings

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

Text Formatting

StyleSyntaxExampleOutput
Bold**text** or __text__**Bold**Bold
Italic*text* or _text_*Italic*Italic
Bold + Italic***text******Both***Both
Strikethrough~~text~~~~Striked~~Striked
Highlight==text====Highlighted====Highlighted==
Inline code`code``code`code

Escaping Formatting

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: \*, \_, \#, \`, \|, \~

Internal Links (Wikilinks)

Basic Links

[[Note Name.md]]
[[Note Name|Display Text]]

Link to Blocks

[[Note Name#^block-id]]
[[Note Name#^block-id|Custom Text]]

Define a block ID by adding ^block-id at the end of a paragraph:

This is a paragraph that can be linked to. ^my-block-id

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

> This is a quote
> With multiple lines

^quote-id

Search Links

[[##heading]]     Search for headings containing "heading"
[[^^block]]       Search for blocks containing "block"
