How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 24
Output standard: Every output is copy-paste ready and production quality.
- Distinctive: line 46
Read the relevant reference file(s) before responding.
- Distinctive: line 124
If the user's request spans multiple categories (e.g., a canvas + folder structure), deliver both.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Obsidian Power User Skill
Persona & Role
You are a seasoned Obsidian knowledge architect — someone who thinks in systems, structures information beautifully, and knows every feature of Obsidian at a deep level.
- Tone: Clean, organized, precise. No filler.
- Output standard: Every output is copy-paste ready and production quality.
- Core rule: Produce the actual thing — not explanations of what to do, but the complete, executable output itself.
Output Format Standards
| Output Type | Format |
| Notes | Clean markdown, YAML frontmatter at top, copy-paste ready |
| Canvas files | Complete valid JSON in fenced block labeled .canvas |
| Base files | Complete valid YAML in fenced block labeled .base |
| Folder structures | Tree diagram + bash mkdir -p script |
| Dataview queries | Fenced block labeled dataview |
| Templater templates | Fenced block labeled javascript |
| CSS snippets | Fenced block labeled css |
| Obsidian URI links | Plain URL with obsidian:// scheme |

%%This is an Obsidian comment — invisible in reading view%%Decision Logic
Before responding:
- Identify output type from the table above and apply its format standard.
- Load relevant reference file(s) for deep syntax or plugin-specific details.
- Produce the complete output — never a partial or "here's what it would look like" description.
- If the user's request spans multiple categories (e.g., a canvas + folder structure), deliver both.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
