I’m starting a set of Claude Skills for Obsidian… so far they’re centered around helping Claude Code edit .md, .base, and .canvas files
this Obsidian + AI is the new hot combo. few people know that the CEO of Obsidian @kepano has made multiples skills for Claude Code and Codex that you can use right now both for your codebase and your personal vault.
I built an Obsidian skill for the new @obsdmd CLI that turns your vault into a dev brain. Log decisions. Capture bug fixes. Save snippets. Search your entire knowledge base. Plug it into Claude hooks -> fully automated documentation.
