Drive a running Obsidian vault from the terminal through the official Obsidian CLI — read and write notes, find a note by name, alias, tag or property, query and summarise the whole link graph, search, manage properties, tags and tasks.

# Obsidian CLI
The official CLI ships with Obsidian 1.12+. It is a thin client that talks to a **running** Obsidian app over local IPC — not a standalone vault reader. Everything it reports comes from the app's own index, so it sees the vault exactly as Obsidian does
Written against Obsidian **1.13.7 (installer 1.13.4)** on Linux. Behaviour below was measured, not copied from the help text
## Before the first call
1. **Find the binary.** The name depends on how Obsidian was installed: the app registers `obsidian`, but package managers may ship the client as `obsidian-cli` while `obsidian` stays the GUI launcher. Run `command -v obsidian-cli obsidian`, then confirm the candidate answers `version` with two numbers. Calling a GUI launcher instead opens a second window
2. **Confirm the app is running.** With no reachable app every call prints `The CLI is unable to find Obsidian. Please make sure Obsidian is running and try again` and exits **1** — the only condition that sets a non-zero status. Do not expect the CLI to start Obsidian for you; on a packaged install it does not
3. **Ask the app what it can do.** `<cli> help` lists the commands available *right now*. The list is not fixed: `daily:*`, `unique`, `web`, `workspaces`, `publish:*` and `sync:*` appear only when the matching core plugin or service is enabled. Treat `help` as the reference and never guess a command from documentation
