Configure Obsidian Graph view — color groups, filters, forces, display settings, palette choice. Use whenever the user wants to change how the graph looks or what it shows, including coloring by folder/category/topic/tag, hiding noise via filter, adjusting forces (repel/link distance), or picking a palette. Triggers include "configure the graph", "color the graph", "fix the graph", "show/hide tags on the graph", "exclude folder from graph", "graph.json", "color groups", "graph filter", "graph forces", "graph palette", "make graph readable", "spread the graph out", "highlight hubs on the graph", "why is the graph one color".

# Obsidian Graph view Global graph configuration lives in `.obsidian/graph.json`. Local graph (Graph view opened from a single note) lives in `.obsidian/workspace.json` and **does not inherit** from global. This skill covers global graph unless explicitly noted. For diagnosing *what's wrong* with a graph (over-connection, render-only edges, false categories), use the paired `obsidian-graph-audit` skill first. ## Workflow when the user asks "configure my graph" 1. **Ask or read intent first.** What's bothering them, or what do they want to see? Color groups without a goal are pure aesthetics — skip them. 2. **⚠️ Have the user close Graph view (or quit Obsidian).** This is mandatory — Obsidian rewrites `graph.json` when Graph view closes, wiping external edits. See Caveats. 3. **Read the current `.obsidian/graph.json`.** Don't reset settings the user has tuned (especially `scale`). 4. **Measure vault size:** `find . -name '*.md' -not -path './.obsidian/*' -not -path './.trash/*' -not -path './.claude/*' | wc -l`. Forces depend on this. 5. **Apply minimum changes**, explain each. 14 color groups on 600 notes is too many — 3-8 is the proven range. 6. **Keep only what adds signal.** Filter > group when you don't want to see something; group > filter when you want to differentiate. 7. **Verify decimal RGB math.** A wrong byte in a color value silently renders as a different color. Always round-trip HEX↔decimal (see below). 8. **Have the user open Graph view after edits.** Chang
