# Obsidian CLI Controls the running Obsidian app via IPC. First invocation launches Obsidian if not running. ## Prerequisites 1. Install Obsidian 1.12+ 2. Enable CLI: **Settings → General → Command line interface** → follow registration prompt 3. Restart terminal (registration adds `obsidian` to PATH automatically) Platform-specific PATH details: - **macOS**: appends `/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS` to `~/.zprofile` - **Linux**: symlink at `/usr/local/bin/obsidian` (fallback `~/.local/bin/obsidian`) - **Windows**: requires `Obsidian.com` redirector from Discord `#insider-desktop-release` ## Syntax ``` obsidian <command> [vault=<name>] [file=<name>] [path=<path>] [flags] [--copy] ``` | Pattern | Behavior | |---------|----------| | `vault=<name>` | Target vault by name; defaults to cwd vault or active vault | | `file=<name>` | Wikilink-style resolution (no path/extension needed) | | `path=<path>` | Exact vault-relative path, e.g. `path="Folder/Note.md"` | | `total` | Return count instead of list | | `format=json\|text\|csv\|tsv\|md` | Output format (varies per command) | | `--copy` | Copy any command's output to clipboard | | `\n` / `\t` | Newline / tab in content strings | | No file/path | Defaults to active file in Obsidian | | Bare `obsidian` | Opens interactive TUI with autocomplete + `Ctrl+R` history | ## Quick start These five operations cover most agent tasks.
