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 getting these wrong produces broken links or unrendered content in the vault. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Wikilinks and Embeds: Create internal links with [[Note]], heading and block references, and embed notes, images, PDFs, audio, and search results with ![[embed]] syntax. - Callouts and Properties: Add foldable, nested callouts of 13 supported types and define YAML frontmatter properties like tags, aliases, and cssclasses. - Use Case: When drafting a project note in an Obsidian vault, use this Skill to add frontmatter with tags and aliases, link to related meeting notes, embed an architecture diagram at a specific width, and highlight a deadline in a warning callout. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note about my project with frontmatter tags, a link to a related note, an embedded image, 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 in Obsidian notes?▼

Use wikilink syntax with double brackets, such as [[Note Name]], to link between notes in a vault. You can add custom display text with [[Note Name|Display Text]], link to a heading with [[Note Name#Heading]], or link to a specific block using [[Note Name#^block-id]].

How do I embed images or PDFs in Obsidian Markdown?▼

Prefix any wikilink with an exclamation mark to embed content, such as ![[image.png]] or ![[document.pdf#page=3]]. Images support sizing like ![[image.png|300]] for width, and PDFs support page and height parameters.

What callout types does Obsidian support?▼

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

Should I use wikilinks or Markdown links in Obsidian?▼

Use [[wikilinks]] for notes within the vault because Obsidian tracks renames automatically and updates links. Reserve standard [text](url) Markdown links for external URLs only.

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 nesting like #nested/tag. Tags can be written inline or defined in frontmatter under the tags property.
