Read, write, search, and manage notes in an Obsidian vault.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# obsidian — Obsidian vault management

## Overview

An Obsidian vault is a folder of markdown files with a `.obsidian/` config directory. The `OBSIDIAN_VAULT` environment variable must point to the vault root. All operations are filesystem-based — Obsidian detects changes automatically when running.

## Obsidian Sync

Obsidian watches the vault directory for filesystem changes. When Obsidian is running, any file you create, edit, or delete is picked up and synced automatically (if Obsidian Sync or a sync plugin is configured). Never modify anything inside `.obsidian/` directly.

## Filesystem operations

### Read a note
```bash
cat "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/path/to/note.md"
```

### List notes
```bash
# All notes
find "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" -name '*.md' -not -path '*/.obsidian/*'

# Notes in a specific folder
ls "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/folder/"*.md
```

### Create a note
```bash
cat > "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/path/to/note.md" << 'EOF'
---
tags: [topic]
---

Note content here.
EOF
```

### Edit a note (append)
```bash
echo "New content" >> "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/path/to/note.md"
```

### Edit a note (overwrite)
```bash
cat > "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/path/to/note.md" << 'EOF'
Replacement content.
EOF
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add laude-institute/headlong/obsidian@sha256:466c250a5dd7680f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260502.9b702aa, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
