Description
Interact with Obsidian vaults using the Obsidian CLI to read, create, search, and manage notes, tasks, properties, and more. Also supports plugin and theme development with commands to reload plugins, run JavaScript, capture errors, take screenshots, and inspect the DOM. Use when the user asks to interact with their Obsidian vault, manage notes, search vault content, perform vault operations from the command line, or develop and debug Obsidian plugins and themes.
Obsidian CLI

Command reference
Run obsidian help to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: https://help.obsidian.md/cli
Syntax
Parameters take a value with =. Quote values with spaces: `bash obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world" ` Flags are boolean switches with no value: `bash obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite ` For multiline content use \n for newline and \t for tab.
File targeting
Many commands accept file or path to target a file. Without either, the active file is used. • file=<name> — resolves like a wikilink (name only, no path or extension needed) • path=<path> — exact path from vault root, e.g. folder/note.md
