SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing notes for Obsidian requires knowledge of its extended Markdown syntax, and using standard Markdown incorrectly produces broken wikilinks, malformed callouts, or invalid frontmatter properties that fail to render in the app. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Obsidian-Specific Syntax: Covers wikilinks, block references, embeds, callouts, highlights, comments, and footnotes that go beyond standard Markdown. - Properties and Tags: Guides correct YAML frontmatter structure for properties, aliases, tags, and cssclasses used by Obsidian's metadata system. - Rich Content: Includes LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, tables, task lists, and HTML embedding patterns. - Use Case: When migrating meeting notes into an Obsidian vault, use this Skill to convert plain Markdown into notes with proper [[wikilinks]], foldable callouts for action items, and frontmatter tags so the notes integrate with your graph view and queries. ## Quick Start Create an Obsidian note for my project kickoff meeting with wikilinks to related notes, a warning callout for the deadline, task checkboxes, and frontmatter with tags and a date property.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create wikilinks in Obsidian Markdown?▼

Wikilinks use double square brackets like [[Note Name]], with optional display text via [[Note Name|Display Text]]. You can link to headings with [[Note#Heading]] and to specific blocks with [[Note#^block-id]].

How do I add callouts in Obsidian notes?▼

Callouts use blockquote syntax with a type marker: > [!note] followed by content. Obsidian supports types like info, tip, warning, and danger, and adding a minus sign after the type makes the callout collapsed by default.

Does Obsidian support standard Markdown syntax?▼

Yes, Obsidian supports CommonMark and GitHub Flavored Markdown including tables, task lists, and code blocks. It adds extensions like wikilinks, embeds, highlights with ==text==, and comments with %%text%%.

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

Embeds use an exclamation mark before a wikilink, such as ![[image.png]] or ![[document.pdf#page=3]]. You can control image size with ![[image.png|300]] where the number sets the width in pixels.

Why is my Obsidian frontmatter not showing as properties?▼

Properties require valid YAML frontmatter placed at the very start of the note between triple dashes. Common failures come from incorrect indentation, missing colons, or placing the block after other content instead of line one.
