Obsidian drops agent skills for Claude, Cursor

Bringing structured agent skills directly to local markdown vaults turns Obsidian into an extensible context layer for AI coding tools. Rather than treating vaults as dumb folders, this gives agents first-class knowledge of backlinks, canvas graphs, and custom CLI automation.

• –Native Agent Skills spec: Operates inside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor without running external server processes or heavy middleware.
• –Specialized format handling: Provides explicit schemas for Obsidian-flavored markdown, wikilinks, callouts, JSON Canvas boards, and Bases views.
• –Direct CLI execution: Exposes vault indexing, note creation, and plugin management through `obsidian-cli` to prevent error-prone filesystem guessing.
• –Built-in utility tooling: Bundles `defuddle` for token-efficient web scraping into clean markdown and `knap` for deterministic template rendering.
