Official skills from Obsidian's CEO that teach agents to work correctly with a vault: Obsidian-flavoured Markdown (wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties), Bases (views, filters, formulas), JSON Canvas files, the Obsidian CLI, defuddle for clean web-to-markdown extraction, and knap for templated note generation.

Pick your agent. The wrapper only tells your agent how to start a session. The skill's instructions arrive with each session, after your access is checked.

skillgild loginInstall this skill for Claude Code.
skillgild install obsidian-skills --agent claude-codeRegister the SkillGild MCP server with Claude Code.
claude mcp add --scope user skillgild -- $(command -v skillgild) mcpStart a session, follow its guide, then end it. Create an API key under Account and pass it as a bearer token.
# Prints the session ID, its tools and the instructions for your agent
skillgild session obsidian-skills
skillgild end <session-id>Run skillgild install obsidian-skills --agent claude-code and connect the SkillGild MCP server (skillgild mcp). When a task matches, your agent starts a session, which uses one of your 25 free runs this month, and follows the skill's instructions. Use --agent codex, cursor or gemini-cli for other clients.
Yes. It includes 25 free runs every month on SkillGild. Obsidian Skills is open source (MIT) by Steph Ango (kepano); SkillGild packages it from https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills at a pinned commit and credits the author.
It runs in your coding agent with your own model. SkillGild checks your monthly allowance and delivers the skill's instructions for each session; it makes no model call and never sees your project unless your agent sends it.
The project lists Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other Agent Skills hosts. It is a plain Agent Skills folder (SKILL.md plus supporting files), so any client that reads that format can load it.
Setup steps and worked examples for this kind of skill.
Stops the agent from burying the answer. Ten output rules: lead with the next action, number multi-step work, end with one concrete next step, suppress tangents, restate state each turn, give time estimates in minutes, make wins visible, report errors matter-of-factly, cap lists at five, and no prea
Turns one hard question into five independent expert opinions plus a verdict.
Notion's official Claude Code plugin: the Notion MCP server plus four skills (Knowledge Capture, Meeting Intelligence, Research Documentation, Spec to Implementation) and slash commands for search, page creation, database queries and tasks.
Anthropic's official PDF skill: read, extract, merge, split, fill forms and generate PDFs with scripts the agent runs locally.
Anthropic's official document skill for creating and editing PowerPoint decks: it teaches Claude the pptx structure, layouts, slide masters and the scripts to build or modify .pptx files programmatically.
Anthropic's official document skill for Word files: create .docx documents with proper styles, headings, tables and tracked changes, or edit existing ones in place.
Publication-quality figures for ML papers: picks the chart type for your results, writes the matplotlib or seaborn code and checks its colors for contrast. Use it to compare methods, baselines or ablations in a chart, to check whether text and figure colors meet a contrast ratio, or to plan an architecture diagram from your method section.
Karpathy's observations on how LLMs fail at coding, codified into four rules the agent follows: think before coding (state assumptions, ask instead of guessing), simplicity first, surgical changes, and goal-driven execution.
Builds an animation from scratch the way a design engineer would: it chooses the curve, duration and properties, keeps motion off the main thread where it matters, and explains the choice.
Translates Apple's interface and motion principles into web code: spring curves, gesture physics, translucent materials and typography, as explained in Apple's WWDC design sessions.
