+name: obsidian-markdown
+description: Create and edit Obsidian Flavored Markdown with wikilinks, embeds, callouts, properties, and other Obsidian-specific syntax. Use when working with .md files in Obsidian, or when the user mentions wikilinks, callouts, frontmatter, tags, embeds, or Obsidian notes.
+---
+
+# 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. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions -- standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.
+
+## Workflow: Creating an Obsidian Note
+
+1. **Add frontmatter** with properties (title, tags, aliases) at the top of the file. See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types.
+2. **Write content** using standard Markdown for structure, plus Obsidian-specific syntax below.
+3. **Link related notes** using wikilinks (`[[Note]]`) for internal vault connections, or standard Markdown links for external URLs.
+4. **Embed content** from other notes, images, or PDFs using the `![[embed]]` syntax. See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for all embed types.
+5. **Add callouts** for highlighted information using `> [!type]` syntax. See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for all callout types.
+6. **Verify** the note renders correctly in Obsidian's reading view.
+
+> When choosing between wikilinks and Markdown links: use `[[wikilinks]]` for notes within the vault (Obsidian tracks renames automatically) and `[text](url)` for external URLs only.
+
+## 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
+```
+
+Define a block ID by appending `^block-id` to any paragraph:
+
+```markdown
+This paragraph can be linked to. ^my-block-id
+```
+
+For lists and quotes, place the block ID on a separate line after the block:
+
+```markdown
+> A quote block
+
+^quote-id
+```
+
+## Embeds
+
+Prefix any wikilink with `!` to embed its content inline:
+
+```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
+```
+
+See [EMBEDS.md](references/EMBEDS.md) for audio, video, search embeds, and external images.
+
+## 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`.
+
+See [CALLOUTS.md](references/CALLOUTS.md) for the full list with aliases, nesting, and custom CSS callouts.
+
+## Properties (Frontmatter)
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: My Note
+date: 2024-01-15
+tags:
+ - project
+ - active
+aliases:
+ - Alternative Name
+cssclasses:
+ - custom-class
+---
+```
+
+Default properties: `tags` (searchable labels), `aliases` (alternative note names for link suggestions), `cssclasses` (CSS classes for styling).
+
+See [PROPERTIES.md](references/PROPERTIES.md) for all property types, tag syntax rules, and advanced usage.
+
+## Tags
+
+```markdown
+#tag Inline tag
+#nested/tag Nested tag with hierarchy
+```
+
+Tags can contain letters, numbers (not first character), underscores, hyphens, and forward slashes. Tags can also be defined in frontmatter under the `tags` property.
+
+## Comments
+
+```markdown
+This is visible %%but this is hidden%% text.
+
+%%
+This entire block is hidden in reading view.
+%%
+```
+
+## Obsidian-Specific Formatting
+
+```markdown
+==Highlighted text== Highlight syntax
+```
+
+## Math (LaTeX)
+
+```markdown
+Inline: $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$
+
+Block:
+$$
+\frac{a}{b} = c
+$$
+```
+
+## Diagrams (Mermaid)
+
+````markdown
+```mermaid
+graph TD
+ A[Start] --> B{Decision}
+ B -->|Yes| C[Do this]
+ B -->|No| D[Do that]
+```
+````
+
+To link Mermaid nodes to Obsidian notes, add `class NodeName internal-link;`.
+
+## Footnotes
+
+```markdown
+Text with a footnote[^1].
+
+[^1]: Footnote content.
+
+Inline footnote.^[This is inline.]
+```
+
+## Complete Example
+
+````markdown
