Use when running the `obsidian` CLI command, interacting with an Obsidian vault from the terminal, creating/appending/reading notes programmatically, searching vault content, managing daily notes, querying tags or backlinks, or automating any Obsidian vault operations. Requires Obsidian 1.12+, app running, CLI enabled in Settings → General → CLI.

# Obsidian CLI

**Built-in CLI in Obsidian 1.12+** — the binary is named `obsidian`, not `obsidian-cli`. Do NOT use shell file manipulation (`echo`, `sed`, `cat`). Use this CLI for standard vault operations; use Read/Edit tools for surgical in-file edits the CLI doesn't support (no search-replace or line-specific insertion).

## Quick Setup

- macOS: modifies `~/.zprofile`; binary inside `/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS`
- Linux: symlink at `/usr/local/bin/obsidian`
- Enable: Settings → General → CLI

Run `obsidian` (no args) for interactive TUI with autocomplete.

## Parameter Syntax — CRITICAL

```
obsidian <command> [parameter=value] [--flag]
```

- **Parameters: bare `parameter=value` — NO dashes, NO `--`**
- Flags: `--flag` (boolean, dashes only for these)
- Vault targeting: `vault=<name>` — must come first
- File targeting: `file=<name>` (wikilink resolution) or `path=<exact/relative/path>`
- Multiline text: use `\n` and `\t` within quoted strings
- Output format: `format=json|tsv|csv|yaml|tree|md`
- Copy to clipboard: `--copy`

## Content Quoting

Be careful when passing Markdown in `content=...` through the shell.

- Backticks inside double-quoted shell strings trigger command substitution.
- Prefer single-quoted `content='...'` when the text contains backticks.
- A single-quoted heredoc such as `<<'END'` is a safe option for larger multiline content because the shell will not interpret backticks, `$vars`, or `$(...)` inside it.
- If the text contains both apostrophes and backticks, slow down and choose quoting deliberately instead of guessing.

## Common Patterns

```bash
# Append task to today's daily note
obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] Review PR"

# Search vault, copy results to clipboard
obsidian search query="project alpha" --copy

# Read note by name (wikilink resolution)
obsidian read file="Meeting Notes 2026-02-15"

# Read note by exact vault-relative path
obsidian read path="Projects/Alpha/spec.md"

# Create note from template
obsidian create name="Sprint Planning" template=Weekly

# Prepend multiline header (use \n for newlines)
obsidian prepend file="Sprint Planning" content="## Goals\n"

# Create or overwrite a note safely when title collisions matter
obsidian create vault="knowledge-base" name="Skill Notes" overwrite content='## Notes'

# Shell-safe multiline content with a single-quoted heredoc
obsidian create vault="knowledge-base" name="Skill Notes" content="$(cat <<'END'
# Skill Notes

- Backticks like `SKILL.md` stay literal here.
END
)"
```

## Mutation Pattern

For create, overwrite, rename, move, or delete operations where correctness matters:

1. Resolve the target note intentionally with `vault=`, `file=`, or `path=`.
2. Prefer idempotent flows such as `create ... overwrite` or `read` first, then `append`/`prepend`.
3. Read the note back after the mutation to verify the result.

## Common Mistakes

| Wrong | Right | Why |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `obsidian-cli ...` | `obsidian ...` | It's a built-in binary, not third-party |
| `--file="Note"` | `file="Note"` | Parameters have NO dashes |
| `--path="..."` | `path="..."` | Parameters have NO dashes |
| `daily append` | `daily:append` | Subcommand uses colon separator |
| `grep -r "..." vault/` | `obsidian search query="..."` | Use CLI search; don't fall back to grep |
| `echo "..." >> file` | `obsidian append content="..."` | Use CLI for append/prepend; Read/Edit tools for surgical edits |
| `... \| pbcopy` | `... --copy` | Use built-in clipboard flag |
| `content="... \`code\` ..."` | `content='... \`code\` ...'` or a `<<'END'` heredoc | Avoid shell command substitution from backticks |
| `create name="Note"` when `Note.md` may already exist | `create name="Note" overwrite ...` or `read` first | Prevent silent `Note 1.md` duplicates |
