What the skill teaches

An agent skill from the Obsidian team's obsidianmd/obsidian-skills repository for Obsidian Headless, the ob command-line tool that runs Obsidian Sync and Obsidian Publish without the desktop app, for example on a server or in a CI job. It guides the agent through installing the tool with npm on Node.js 22 or later, leaving sign-in to the user, listing and linking remote vaults, running single or continuous syncs, changing sync settings, and previewing then publishing a site. Sync and Publish each require an active Obsidian subscription, and the skill says Headless itself is in open beta.

Capabilities

  • Set up Obsidian Sync for a vault from the command line
  • Run one-off or continuous vault syncs
  • Change a vault's sync mode, exclusions and file types
  • Preview and publish an Obsidian Publish site
