obsidianlisted

Universal Obsidian-flavored markdown standard plus a per-vault authoring workflow. Covers syntax (frontmatter/Properties, wiki-links, embeds, callouts, block refs, tags, tasks, tables, footnotes, MathJax, Mermaid, highlights) and the house style for notes that render cleanly in Obsidian's Live Preview. Probes each vault's .obsidian config and existing notes, then MIRRORS that vault's conventions instead of imposing defaults. Use when authoring or editing .md inside an Obsidian vault (a `.obsidian/` folder is present), when the user mentions Obsidian, a vault, wikilinks, [[links]], callouts, properties, embeds, block references, Dataview, Tasks, Templater, or Bases, or for any Obsidian syntax question. Prefer this over generic markdown whenever a vault is present.

# obsidian (universal standard) The shared, vault-agnostic standard for authoring Obsidian-flavored markdown, invoked as `/obsidian`. It is named distinctly from any vault's own project-level `obsidian-md` skill so the two never collide: both load, each adding its layer. Vault-specific skills layer their own folder rules, naming, and protections on top of this; this file owns the universal syntax, the render discipline, and the per-vault detect/probe/mirror workflow. Verified against help.obsidian.md and Obsidian 1.9/1.10 release notes (2026-06-28). Obsidian markdown is CommonMark plus GitHub-flavored extensions plus Obsidian-only syntax (wikilinks, embeds, callouts, typed properties, block refs). The correct way to write in a given vault depends on that vault's settings and existing conventions, so this skill is a workflow, detect, probe, mirror, confirm, then author, not a fixed template. ## Core principle **Mirror, don't invent.** Reuse the vault's existing property keys, tag taxonomy, callout types, link style, folder layout, naming convention, and templates. When a convention is ambiguous, prefer the vault's dominant observed pattern over the Obsidian default. ## Render target: Live Preview (always) Author for **Live Preview / live editor mode**, the mode in use at all times; Reading view is not used. Hard consequences: - **No HTML comments (``) and no raw HTML** for notes, guidance, or layout in authored content. They are invisible only in Reading view;
