Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by ArchieIndian on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Obsidian Sync AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers/tree/main/skills/community/obsidian-sync
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers.git /tmp/openclaw-superpowers
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openclaw-superpowers/skills/community/obsidian-sync .claude/skills/obsidian-sync

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Obsidian Sync in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Obsidian Sync on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Obsidian Sync is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Obsidian Sync

State file: ~/.openclaw/skill-state/obsidian-sync/state.yaml

Your agent's memory should be readable by you, not just by the agent.

When to Use

On 10pm nightly cron wakeup
When the user asks to sync notes to Obsidian
After a major task completion worth archiving

Setup (First Run)

On first run, ask the user for their vault path and write it to state as vault_path. Do not proceed until this is set.

The Sync Process

Step 1: Read Agent Memory

Read today's memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Read MEMORY.md (long-term memory)

Step 2: Write to Vault

Copy memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md → <vault_path>/OpenClaw/Daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
Copy MEMORY.md → <vault_path>/OpenClaw/Memory.md
Create <vault_path>/OpenClaw/ directory if it doesn't exist

Step 3: Update State

Write last_sync_at, notes_written (count of files written), vault_path to state.

Cron Wakeup Behavior

On 10pm wakeup:

Check vault_path in state — if empty, skip and notify user to set it
Check last_sync_at — if today, skip
Otherwise run sync

Key Principles

Never overwrite vault files the user has manually edited — append-only to Daily notes
If the vault path doesn't exist, warn the user rather than creating it silently
Keep the OpenClaw folder structure flat and simple

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Obsidian Sync AI skill do?

Syncs agent daily memory and MEMORY.md to an Obsidian vault so notes are human-browsable. Use nightly or on demand.

Why use Obsidian Sync on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Obsidian Sync is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Obsidian Sync in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ArchieIndian/openclaw-superpowers/tree/main/skills/community/obsidian-sync. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Obsidian Sync?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Obsidian Sync?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Obsidian Sync with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Obsidian Sync AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by ArchieIndian. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
