Obsidian — Read, search, create, and edit notes in the Obsidian vault
Start with meaning, then move to detail.
This lesson explains Obsidian — Read, search, create, and edit notes in the Obsidian vault as part of extending Hermes and connecting external tools. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.
If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?
For practice, open the source, choose one section, and write an expected result before changing configuration.
For advanced readers, inspect Skill metadata, Reference: full SKILL.md, Vault path, then verify failure modes and version compatibility.
Complete installation and one successful task before adding new capabilities.
