Agent Skills for use with Obsidian.

These skills follow the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification) so they can be used by any skills-compatible agent, including Claude Code, Codex, and Open Code.

## Installation

### Marketplace

```
/plugin marketplace add kepano/obsidian-skills
/plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills
```

### npx skills

```
npx skills add git@github.com:kepano/obsidian-skills.git
```

Instead of ssh, if you prefer to use https:

```
npx skills add https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills
```

### Manually

#### Claude Code

Add the contents of this repo to a `/.claude` folder in the root of your Obsidian vault (or whichever folder you're using with Claude Code). See more in the [official Claude Skills documentation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/agent-skills/overview).

#### Codex

Copy the `skills/` directory into your Codex skills path (typically `~/.codex/skills`). See the [Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io/specification) for the standard skill format.

#### OpenCode

Clone the entire repo into the OpenCode skills directory (`~/.opencode/skills/`):

```sh
git clone https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills
```

Do not copy only the inner `skills/` folder — clone the full repo so the directory structure is `~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`.

OpenCode auto-discovers all `SKILL.md` files under `~/.opencode/skills/`. No changes to `opencode.json` or any config file are needed. Skills become available after restarting OpenCode.
