Oh! I worked on this project. If anyone has questions, I'll do my best to answer them!
Any plans of providing an official obsidian-cli Skill for LLMs?
Because this is 99% going to be used by AI Agents =)
Obsidian Sync now has a headless client

Re: Obsidian Sync now has a headless client
#202I'm having a hard time understanding when I would use this. Could someone provide some examples?
I just had Claude go through my Journal/ and mark 800 obsolete daily tasks as done so that they don't clutter my reports anymore.
Any kind of automation, really. Much easier than just raw editing the markdown in some cases.

It's not super useful yet- you can't really view notes in the CLI but you can can trigger features like search.
You can view notes with Obsidian CLI. See the "read" commands. But also you can do that with your built-in command line tools. https://help.obsidian.md/cli
Thank you, that helped

#205Also new: Obsidian joins the CLI gang https://help.obsidian.md/cli I’ve been having a lot of fun recently using AI CLIs with Obsidian. No plugins necessary because it’s just a directory tree of markdown files.
I've been using iCloud to sync Obsidian, and have consistently run into the problem that iCloud file container access needs full disk permissions that I don't want to give the agent (or Ghostty). Does everybody use Obsidian's paid sync instead or what? Or SyncThing?
I use git on my own forgejo instance.

I use git. push to private repo, you can use a cron in your machine to push regularly and so on. The only limitation comes if you use the vault in a closed system like iOS, where you can't run terminal commands. other than that, flawless.
I’ve just about got this working on ios using the a-shell app as a terminal to run the git commands, with shortcuts set to run them when Obsidian opens and closes.

#208What is the use case for this? Not being a dick. I think it's a me problem. I use Obsidian and love it, but I'm struggling to see the appeal of this.

It's literally in the second sentence.
Obsidian Sync offers a headless client to sync vaults without using the desktop app. Useful for CI pipelines, agents, and automated workflows

- Automate remote backups
- Automate publishing a website
- Sync a shared team vault to a server that feeds other tools
- Give tools like OpenClaw access to a vault without access to your full computer
- Run scheduled automations e.g. aggregate daily notes into weekly summaries, auto-tag, etc
