Manually
Claude Code
Add the contents of this repo to a /.claude folder in the root of your Obsidian vault (or whichever folder you're using with Claude Code). See more in the official Claude Skills documentation.
Codex
Copy the skills/ directory into your Codex skills path (typically ~/.codex/skills). See the Agent Skills specification for the standard skill format.
OpenCode
Clone the entire repo into the OpenCode skills directory (~/.opencode/skills/):
git clone https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills.git ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills
Do not copy only the inner skills/ folder — clone the full repo so the directory structure is ~/.opencode/skills/obsidian-skills/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.
OpenCode auto-discovers all SKILL.md files under ~/.opencode/skills/. No changes to opencode.json or any config file are needed. Skills become available after restarting OpenCode.
