Automate Obsidian vault operations and search plain Markdown notes via obsidian-cli. Obsidian vault = a normal folder on disk. Vault structure (typical) Obsidian desktop tracks vaults here (source of truth): obsidian-cli resolves vaults from that file; vault name is typically the folder name (path suffix). Fast “what vault is active / where are the notes?” Notes Pick a default vault (once): Search Create Move/rename (safe refactor) Delete Prefer direct edits when appropriate: open the .md file and change it; Obsidian will pick it up. - Requires obsidian-cli binary; install via Homebrew or manually - Core commands: search note names or content with snippets, create notes with optional auto-open, move/rename notes with automatic wikilink and Markdown link updates across the vault, and delete notes - Vaults are standard folders on disk containing .md files, .canvas JSON files, and a .obsidian/ config directory; read the active vault from ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json rather than hardcoding paths - Set a default vault once with set-default , then use print-default to retrieve it; supports multiple vaults (iCloud, local, work/personal) - Notes: *.md (plain text Markdown; edit with any editor) - Config: .obsidian/ (workspace + plugin settings; usually don’t touch from scripts) - Canvases: *.canvas (JSON) - Attachments: whatever folder you chose in Obsidian...
