# Obsidian Flavored Markdown Skill

Create and edit valid Obsidian Flavored Markdown. Obsidian extends CommonMark and GFM with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, comments, and other syntax.

## Internal Links (Wikilinks)

```markdown
[[Note Name]]                          Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]]             Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]]                  Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]]                Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]]              Same-note heading link
```

Use `[[wikilinks]]` for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and `[text](url)` for external URLs only.

## Embeds

```markdown
![[Note Name]]                         Embed full note
![[Note Name#Heading]]                 Embed section
![[image.png]]                         Embed image
![[image.png|300]]                     Embed image with width
![[document.pdf#page=3]]               Embed PDF page
![[MyBase.base]]                       Embed a Bases view
![[MyBase.base#View Name]]             Embed a specific view
```

## Callouts

```markdown
> [!note]
> Basic callout.

> [!warning] Custom Title
> Callout with a custom title.

> [!faq]- Collapsed by default
> Foldable callout (- collapsed, + expanded).
```

Common types: `note`, `tip`, `warning`, `info`, `example`, `quote`, `bug`, `danger`, `success`, `failure`, `question`, `abstract`, `todo`.

## Properties (Frontmatter)

```yaml
---
title: My Note
date: 2024-01-15
tags:
  - project
  - active
aliases:
  - Alternative Name
---
```

Default properties: `tags` (searchable labels), `aliases` (alternative note names for link suggestions).

## Tags

```markdown
#tag                    Inline tag
#nested/tag             Nested tag with hierarchy
```

Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes.

## Comments

```markdown
This is visible %%but this is hidden%% text.

%%
This entire block is hidden in reading view.
%%
```

## Obsidian-Specific Formatting

```markdown
==Highlighted text==
```
