## Install

```sh

```

Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# Obsidian CLI

Controls the running Obsidian app via IPC. First invocation launches Obsidian if not running.

## Prerequisites

1. Install Obsidian 1.12+
2. Enable CLI: **Settings → General → Command line interface** → follow registration prompt
3. Restart terminal (registration adds `obsidian` to PATH automatically)

Platform-specific PATH details:
- **macOS**: appends `/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS` to `~/.zprofile`
- **Linux**: symlink at `/usr/local/bin/obsidian` (fallback `~/.local/bin/obsidian`)
- **Windows**: requires `Obsidian.com` redirector from Discord `#insider-desktop-release`

## Syntax

```
obsidian  [vault=] [file=] [path=] [flags] [--copy]
```

| Pattern | Behavior |
|---------|----------|
| `vault=` | Target vault by name; defaults to cwd vault or active vault |
| `file=` | Wikilink-style resolution (no path/extension needed) |
| `path=` | Exact vault-relative path, e.g. `path="Folder/Note.md"` |
| `total` | Return count instead of list |
| `format=json\|text\|csv\|tsv\|md` | Output format (varies per command) |
| `--copy` | Copy any command's output to clipboard |
| `\n` / `\t` | Newline / tab in content strings |
| No file/path | Defaults to active file in Obsidian |
| Bare `obsidian` | Opens interactive TUI with autocomplete + `Ctrl+R` history |

## Quick start

These five operations cover most agent tasks. For complete command reference, see the domain-specific guides below.

### Read a note

```bash
obsidian read file="Meeting Notes"
obsidian read path="Projects/Roadmap.md"
obsidian read                              # active file
```

### Create a note

```bash
obsidian create name="New Note" content="# Title\n\nBody"
obsidian create name="From Template" template="Meeting Notes" silent
```

### Append / prepend

```bash
obsidian append file="Journal" content="- New entry"
obsidian prepend file="Ideas" content="## Latest idea"
obsidian daily:append content="- 2pm: Call with team" silent
```

### Search

```bash
obsidian search query="project deadline"
obsidian search query="API" limit=10 format=json
obsidian search query="fix" matches         # include context
```

### Tasks

```bash
obsidian tasks all todo                     # vault-wide incomplete
obsidian tasks daily                        # today's daily note
obsidian task file="Todo" line=8 toggle     # toggle completion
```
