Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.

When to Use

• Use when writing or editing Markdown notes intended for Obsidian.
• Use when the task involves wikilinks, embeds, callouts, frontmatter properties, or Obsidian-specific syntax.
• Use when the user wants notes that render correctly inside an Obsidian vault.

Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note

1. Add frontmatter with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types.
2. Write content using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.
3. Link related notes using wikilinks ([[Note]]) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.
4. Embed content from other notes, images, or PDFs using the ![[embed]] syntax. See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for all embed types.
5. Add callouts for highlighted information using > [!type] syntax. See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for all callout types.
6. Verify the note renders correctly in Obsidian's readin
