Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

1. **Identify your workflow**: Determine which Obsidian tasks you want to automate (e.g., note creation, backlinks, task extraction). Use the prompt template to describe your specific need. 2. **Set up Claude Code**: Ensure you have Claude Code installed and configured with access to your Obsidian vault path. Test basic Python file operations in your vault first. 3. **Customize the script**: Replace [WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION] with your specific requirements. For API-based automation, you may need to install the Obsidian Python library (`pip install obsidianmd`). 4. **Test incrementally**: Start with a small, reversible change (like creating a test note) before automating critical workflows. Use `print()` statements to verify each step. 5. **Schedule execution**: For recurring tasks, set up cron jobs (Mac/Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows). For complex workflows, consider using a task runner like `make` or `just`. **Pro Tip**: Store your automation scripts in a dedicated folder within your vault (e.g., `Automation Scripts`) and link to them from your daily notes for easy access.

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Automate the following Obsidian workflow: [WORKFLOW_DESCRIPTION]. Use Claude Code to create a Python script that interacts with the Obsidian API or file system. The script should [SPECIFIC_TASKS]. For example: 'Automate daily note creation in Obsidian by generating a template with today's date, adding a task list from my calendar for the day, and tagging it with #daily-review. Save it to the Daily Notes folder.' Include error handling for cases where the Obsidian vault isn't found or the API fails.

Example Output

```python
# Obsidian Daily Note Automation Script
# Generated by Claude Code for vault: ~/Documents/Obsidian/SecondBrain

import os
from datetime import datetime
import json

# Configuration
VAULT_PATH = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/Obsidian/SecondBrain')
DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER = os.path.join(VAULT_PATH, 'Daily Notes')
TEMPLATE_PATH = os.path.join(VAULT_PATH, '.obsidian/templates/daily-note.md')

# Create daily note directory if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs(DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER, exist_ok=True)

# Get today's date
today = datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
note_filename = f'{today}.md'
note_path = os.path.join(DAILY_NOTES_FOLDER, note_filename)

# Check if note already exists
if os.path.exists(note_path):
    print(f'Note for {today} already exists at {note_path}')
    exit()

# Read template
with open(TEMPLATE_PATH, 'r') as f:
    template_content = f.read()

# Generate content with dynamic elements
calendar_tasks = """### Tasks
- [ ] Morning standup with team
- [ ] Review Q3 budget report
- [ ] Update client onboarding checklist
- [ ] Research new automation tools"""

# Replace placeholders in template
content = template_content.replace('{{date}}', today)
content = content.replace('{{tasks}}', calendar_tasks)
content = content.replace('{{tags}}', '#daily-review #automation')

# Write to file
with open(note_path, 'w') as f:
    f.write(content)

print(f'Successfully created daily note at {note_path}')
print(f'Content preview:\n{content[:200]}...')
```

**Output Log:**
```
Successfully created daily note at /Users/alex/Documents/Obsidian/SecondBrain/Daily Notes/2024-05-15.md
Content preview:
# Daily Note - 2024-05-15

## Tasks
- [ ] Morning standup with team
- [ ] Review Q3 budget report
- [ ] Update client onboarding checklist
- [ ] Research new automation tools

## Notes

## ##tags #daily-review #automation
```

**Next Steps:**
1. Test the script by running it in your terminal
2. Add it to your system's cron jobs to run daily at 8 AM
3. Customize the template at `/.obsidian/templates/daily-note.md` to match your preferred format
