SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Writing notes for Obsidian requires syntax beyond standard Markdown—wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and comments—and using the wrong syntax produces broken links or unrendered content in the vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wikilinks and Embeds: Create internal note links with heading and block references, and embed notes, images, PDFs, audio, and search results using the ![[embed]] syntax. - Callouts and Properties: Add foldable, nested callouts of 13 supported types and define YAML frontmatter properties such as tags, aliases, and cssclasses. - Use Case: When drafting a project note in an Obsidian vault, generate frontmatter with tags and aliases, link to related notes with [[Note#Heading]], embed an architecture diagram, and highlight a deadline with a warning callout—all in valid Obsidian syntax. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note for my project kickoff with frontmatter tags, a link to my meeting notes, an embedded diagram, and a warning callout for the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions about obsidian-markdown

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create internal links between Obsidian notes?▼

Use wikilink syntax with double brackets, such as [[Note Name]], optionally with custom display text like [[Note Name|Display Text]]. You can also link to specific headings with [[Note Name#Heading]] or to blocks using [[Note Name#^block-id]].

How do I embed images or PDFs in an Obsidian note?▼

Prefix a wikilink with an exclamation mark, such as ![[image.png]] or ![[document.pdf#page=3]]. Images support sizing like ![[image.png|300]] for width, and external images use standard Markdown syntax with an optional width parameter.

What callout types does Obsidian support?▼

Obsidian supports 13 callout types including note, tip, warning, info, danger, bug, example, quote, success, failure, question, abstract, and todo, many with aliases. Callouts can be foldable with + or - suffixes and can be nested inside each other.

When should I use wikilinks versus Markdown links in Obsidian?▼

Use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault because Obsidian automatically updates them when notes are renamed. Use standard [text](url) Markdown links only for external URLs outside the vault.

What characters are allowed in Obsidian tags?▼

Obsidian tags can contain letters in any language, numbers (not as the first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes for nested tags like #project/active. Tags can be written inline or listed under the tags property in frontmatter.
