kepano/obsidian-skills (Special — from Obsidian Creator)
Linus Kepano (Obsidian creator + Minimal theme) published official Agent Skills for Obsidian:

Obsidian Bases (.base files, views, filters, formulas)
json-canvas
JSON Canvas spec (.canvas nodes/edges/groups)
obsidian-cli

Key signal : This project validates that the Agent Skills format is the right standard.

Where claude-obsidian Wins
Hot cache — session context mechanism is unique in the ecosystemCanvas skill — no other LLM Wiki project has a visual layerMarketplace install — most polished install experience/save conversation — filing chat sessions as wiki pages is uniquePub quality docs — README, install guide, demo GIFsDual repo (public + community) — distribution model unique
Where claude-obsidian Has Gaps
See cherry-picks for prioritized list with implementation notes.
Top 5 gaps by impact:
No delta tracking → re-ingests everything on every compile
No URL ingestion → forces manual copy-paste
No auto-commit → vault changes aren't versioned automatically
No multi-depth query → one mode for all questions
No vision input → can't ingest screenshots or images
