What it does
Create, inspect, and update Obsidian JSON Canvas boards with text, file, link, group, and edge nodes. Use for canvas status, canvas lists, visual maps, zones, spatial layouts, adding vault notes or media to a .canvas file, and requests such as create canvas, add to canvas, or put this on the canvas.
Canvas
Treat a canvas as a vault-scoped JSON Canvas document. Keep reads read-only and route every requested mutation through one recoverable transaction.
Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:
PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py"
test -f "$CORE"
Every ../wiki/references/ link in this file resolves the same way, relative
to this skill's own directory under $PRODUCT_ROOT, never relative to the
selected vault's wiki/ directory.
Choose the syntax source
Prefer a separately installed kepano/obsidian-skills json-canvas skill for
format details. Otherwise read references/canvas-spec.md.
The open standard is JSON Canvas 1.0.
Use this skill for vault workflow and transaction safety even when an upstream syntax skill is available.
