How to use obsidian-skills

Agent Skills for use with Obsidian.

These skills follow the Agent Skills specification so they can be used by any skills-compatible agent, including Claude Code, Codex, and Open Code.

Installation

Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add kepano/obsidian-skills
/plugin install obsidian@obsidian-skills

npx skills

npx skills add git@github.com:kepano/obsidian-skills.git

Instead of ssh, if you prefer to use https:

npx skills add https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills

Manually

Claude Code

Add the contents of this repo to a /.claude folder in the root of your Obsidian vault (or whichever folder you're using with Claude Code). See more in the official Claude Skills documentation.

Codex

Copy the skills/ directory into your Codex skills path (typically ~/.codex/skills). See the Agent Skills specification for the standard skill format.

OpenCode

Clone the entire repo into the OpenCode skills directory (~/.opencode/skills/):

git clone https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills

Do not copy only the inner skills/ folder — clone the full repo so the directory structure is ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.

OpenCode auto-discovers all SKILL.md files under ~/.opencode/skills/. No changes to opencode.json or any config file are needed. Skills become available after restarting OpenCode.
