Merge pull request #5 from pablo-mano/claude/skill-creator-improvements-VvYl5

Improve skill accuracy, completeness, and eval coverage
- Fix README command count (100+ → 130+) to match SKILL.md - Add 9 missing command groups to README table (bookmarks, themes, snippets, commands/hotkeys, bases, history, workspace, diff, and expanded dev/vault groups with all subcommands) - Expand README troubleshooting table with 4 entries matching SKILL.md (multi-vault naming, property:set list type, Windows .com issues, Git Bash / MSYS2 colon-param exit 127) - Enhance SKILL.md frontmatter: add version field, expand description with explicit skip conditions (iCloud sync, Dataview syntax, keyboard shortcuts, external scripts), and add 22-entry triggers list for more reliable skill activation across platforms - Expand eval set from 20 → 35 cases: 10 new positive cases covering sync restore, bookmarks, eval, backlinks, screenshots, tag counts, Bases queries, recents, permanent delete, and rename; 5 new negative cases covering graph view explanation, publish options, hotkey config, unresolved links concept, and Templater plugin syntax https://claude.ai/code/session_01285FCGJmPvrLodTg4nVuc9

+## Invoking the Skill
+
+The skill activates automatically when your request clearly involves Obsidian vault operations. For casual phrasing, you may need to invoke it explicitly:
+
+| Method | Example |
+|---|---|
+| **Natural language** (usually works) | *"add this to my daily note: …"*, *"search my vault for X"* |
+| **Explicit prefix** (always works) | `$obsidian-cli append to today's daily note: "…"` |
+| **Strict mode** (always active) | Enable in Claude Code settings so the skill is always loaded |
+
+If Claude tries to answer a vault request without executing any commands, just say `use obsidian-cli` and it will retry with the skill active.

+
+**Option A — Remote install (recommended)**
+
+In a Cortex Code session, run:
+
+```
+/skill add https://github.com/pablo-mano/Obsidian-CLI-skill.git
+```
+
+Cortex Code clones the repo and caches the skill. Use `/skill sync obsidian-cli` to pull
+updates later.
+
+**Option B — Project-local install**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .cortex/skills/obsidian-cli
+curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pablo-mano/Obsidian-CLI-skill/main/skills/obsidian-cli/SKILL.md \
+  -o .cortex/skills/obsidian-cli/SKILL.md
+```
+
+Or clone the repo and copy:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/pablo-mano/Obsidian-CLI-skill.git /tmp/obsidian-cli-skill
+cp -r /tmp/obsidian-cli-skill/skills/obsidian-cli .cortex/skills/
+```
+
+**Option C — User-level install**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/.snowflake/cortex/skills/obsidian-cli
+cp skills/obsidian-cli/SKILL.md ~/.snowflake/cortex/skills/obsidian-cli/
+```
+
+**Verify**
+
+```
+/skill list

+
+You should see `obsidian-cli` in the output.

+**Invoke**

The underlying mechanism is the official Obsidian CLI (v1.12+), but trigger even when the user doesn't mention the CLI — phrases like "add this to my daily note", "search my vault", "create a note from template", or "what tasks do I have open?" all apply. Also trigger for explicit CLI usage: running obsidian subcommands from a shell, scripting or automating vault operations, scheduling via cron, debugging IPC/headless Linux setups, or building programmatic wrappers. Skip only for pure GUI questions (Obsidian settings navigation, theme/plugin installation via UI) or iCloud sync configuration that has nothing to do with vault content.</span></p>

+  has no way to access vault data or execute vault operations. Treat any request that

 # Obsidian CLI

 The official Obsidian CLI (released in v1.12, February 2026) lets you control every aspect of Obsidian from the terminal. It communicates with a running Obsidian desktop instance via IPC.

-> `references/command-reference.md` in this skill folder.

 - **macOS / Linux**: The `obsidian` binary is registered in PATH automatically when you enable CLI in settings.
 - **Windows**: Requires an `Obsidian.com` redirector file placed alongside `Obsidian.exe`. **Must run with normal user privileges** — admin terminals produce silent failures.

 - **Headless Linux**: Use the `.deb` package (not snap). Run under `xvfb`. Prefix commands with `DISPLAY=:5` (or your xvfb display number). Ensure `PrivateTmp=false` if running as a service.

 1. **Paths are vault-relative** — use `folder/note.md`, not absolute filesystem paths.
@@ -210,6 +232,18 @@ obsidian sync:restore path="important.md" version=3  # Rollback
 6. **Stderr noise** — GPU/Electron warnings on headless are harmless; filter with `2>/dev/null`.
 7. **`daily:prepend`** inserts content after frontmatter, not at byte 0.
 8. **Use `eval`** to run arbitrary JavaScript against the Obsidian API (`app.*`).
+9. **`template:insert`** inserts into the currently active file in the Obsidian UI — it does not accept a `path=` parameter. If no file is open, it returns `Error: No active editor. Open a file first.` To create a file from a template via CLI, use `obsidian create path="..." template="..."` instead.
+10. **`property:set` stores list values as strings** — `value="tag1, tag2"` writes a literal comma-separated string, not a YAML array. For proper array fields, edit the note's frontmatter directly (e.g. via `read` → modify → `create --force`) or use `eval` to call the Obsidian API.
+11. **`eval` requires single-line JavaScript** — multiline JS passed inline fails with a token error. Write the script to a temp file instead:
+    ```bash
+    cat > /tmp/obs.js << 'JS'
+    var files = app.vault.getMarkdownFiles();
+    files.length;
+    JS
+    obsidian eval code="$(cat /tmp/obs.js)"
+    ```
+12. **Multi-vault targeting may not work in all environments** — `obsidian "My Vault" command` can return `Error: Command "My Vault" not found` on some setups. If this happens, omit the vault name (CLI targets the most recently active vault) and switch vaults manually in the Obsidian UI.
+13. **When colon subcommands are unavailable** (e.g. Windows Git Bash without wrapper), prefer non-colon alternatives: use `properties` instead of `property:read`, and `obsidian daily:path` + `append` instead of `daily:append`.

+obsidian command id="app:reload"           # Execute a command by ID

+obsidian hotkey id="app:open-settings"     # Get hotkey for a specific command
+obsidian hotkey id="app:open-settings" verbose  # Show if custom or default
+```
+
+**Typical workflow — find and run a command:**
+
+```bash
+obsidian commands | grep "canvas"          # Find canvas-related command IDs
+obsidian command id="canvas:new-file"      # Execute the matched command
+```
+
+**Getting plugin command IDs:**
+
+```bash
+obsidian commands | grep "dataview"        # List all Dataview plugin commands
+```

+
+## Obsidian Bases
+
+Obsidian Bases (v1.12+) is a built-in database feature. Base files (`.base`) store structured data and support multiple views.
+
+```bash
+obsidian bases                                    # List all .base files in vault
+obsidian base:query file="tasks" format=json      # Query default view of a base
+obsidian base:query file="tasks" view="Kanban"    # Query a specific view
+obsidian base:query path="folder/tasks.base" format=csv  # Query by path
+obsidian base:views file="tasks"                  # List all views in a base file
+obsidian base:create file="tasks" title="Buy milk"  # Add an item to a base
+```
+
+**Supported output formats for `base:query`:** `json` (default), `csv`, `tsv`, `md`, `paths`
+
+---
+
+## History
+
+File version history (built-in to Obsidian, separate from Sync). Requires the File Recovery core plugin.
+
+```bash
+obsidian history:list                             # List all files that have history
+obsidian history path="folder/note.md"            # List versions of a specific file
+obsidian history:read path="folder/note.md"       # Read the latest saved version
+obsidian history:read path="folder/note.md" version=3  # Read a specific version
+obsidian history:restore path="folder/note.md" version=3  # Restore a version
+obsidian history:open path="folder/note.md"       # Open file recovery UI for a file
+```
+
+> **Note:** History is distinct from [Sync version history](#sync). History uses Obsidian's built-in File Recovery snapshots; Sync history uses Obsidian Sync cloud versions.
+
+---
+
+## Workspace & Tabs
+
+Inspect and manage the Obsidian workspace layout and open tabs.
+
+```bash
+obsidian workspace                                # Show the full workspace tree
+obsidian tabs                                     # List all open tabs (flat list)
+obsidian tab:open file="folder/note.md"           # Open a file in a new tab
+obsidian tab:open view="graph"                    # Open a view type in a new tab
+```
+
+---
+
+## Diff
+
+Compare local and sync versions of a file.
+
+```bash
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md"               # List available versions (local + sync)
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md" from=1 to=2   # Diff two specific versions
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md" filter=local  # Show only local versions

 # Obsidian CLI

 The official Obsidian CLI (released in v1.12, February 2026) lets you control every aspect of Obsidian from the terminal. It communicates with a running Obsidian desktop instance via IPC.

 6. **Stderr noise** — GPU/Electron warnings on headless are harmless; filter with `2>/dev/null`.
 7. **`daily:prepend`** inserts content after frontmatter, not at byte 0.
 8. **Use `eval`** to run arbitrary JavaScript against the Obsidian API (`app.*`).
+9. **`template:insert`** inserts into the currently active file in the Obsidian UI — it does not accept a `path=` parameter. If no file is open, it returns `Error: No active editor. Open a file first.` To create a file from a template via CLI, use `obsidian create path="..." template="..."` instead.
+10. **`property:set` stores list values as strings** — `value="tag1, tag2"` writes a literal comma-separated string, not a YAML array. For proper array fields, edit the note's frontmatter directly (e.g. via `read` → modify → `create --force`) or use `eval` to call the Obsidian API.
+11. **`eval` requires single-line JavaScript** — multiline JS passed inline fails with a token error. Write the script to a temp file instead:
+    ```bash
+    cat > /tmp/obs.js << 'JS'
+    var files = app.vault.getMarkdownFiles();
+    files.length;
+    JS
+    obsidian eval code="$(cat /tmp/obs.js)"
+    ```
+12. **Multi-vault targeting may not work in all environments** — `obsidian "My Vault" command` can return `Error: Command "My Vault" not found` on some setups. If this happens, omit the vault name (CLI targets the most recently active vault) and switch vaults manually in the Obsidian UI.
+13. **When colon subcommands are unavailable** (e.g. Windows Git Bash without wrapper), prefer non-colon alternatives: use `properties` instead of `property:read`, and `obsidian daily:path` + `append` instead of `daily:append`.

+
+## CSS Snippets
+
+Manage custom CSS snippet files (snippets live in `.obsidian/snippets/`).
+
+```bash
+obsidian snippets                          # List all installed CSS snippets
+obsidian snippets:enabled                  # List only enabled snippets
+obsidian snippet:enable name="my-style"    # Enable a snippet
+obsidian snippet:disable name="my-style"   # Disable a snippet
+```
+
+---
+
+## Commands & Hotkeys
+
+Execute any Obsidian command by its ID, and inspect hotkey bindings.
+
+```bash
+obsidian commands                          # List all available command IDs
+obsidian command id="app:reload"           # Execute a command by ID
+obsidian command id="editor:toggle-bold"   # Example: toggle bold in active editor
+obsidian hotkeys                           # List all hotkeys (tab-separated: id \t keybinding)
+obsidian hotkey id="app:open-settings"     # Get hotkey for a specific command
+obsidian hotkey id="app:open-settings" verbose  # Show if custom or default
+```
+
+**Typical workflow — find and run a command:**
+
+```bash
+obsidian commands | grep "canvas"          # Find canvas-related command IDs
+obsidian command id="canvas:new-file"      # Execute the matched command
+```
+
+**Getting plugin command IDs:**
+
+```bash
+obsidian commands | grep "dataview"        # List all Dataview plugin commands
+```
+
+---
+
+## Obsidian Bases
+
+Obsidian Bases (v1.12+) is a built-in database feature. Base files (`.base`) store structured data and support multiple views.
+
+```bash
+obsidian bases                                    # List all .base files in vault
+obsidian base:query file="tasks" format=json      # Query default view of a base
+obsidian base:query file="tasks" view="Kanban"    # Query a specific view
+obsidian base:query path="folder/tasks.base" format=csv  # Query by path
+obsidian base:views file="tasks"                  # List all views in a base file
+obsidian base:create file="tasks" title="Buy milk"  # Add an item to a base
+```
+
+**Supported output formats for `base:query`:** `json` (default), `csv`, `tsv`, `md`, `paths`
+
+---
+
+## History
+
+File version history (built-in to Obsidian, separate from Sync). Requires the File Recovery core plugin.
+
+```bash
+obsidian history:list                             # List all files that have history
+obsidian history path="folder/note.md"            # List versions of a specific file
+obsidian history:read path="folder/note.md"       # Read the latest saved version
+obsidian history:read path="folder/note.md" version=3  # Read a specific version
+obsidian history:restore path="folder/note.md" version=3  # Restore a version
+obsidian history:open path="folder/note.md"       # Open file recovery UI for a file
+```
+
+> **Note:** History is distinct from [Sync version history](#sync). History uses Obsidian's built-in File Recovery snapshots; Sync history uses Obsidian Sync cloud versions.
+
+---
+
+## Workspace & Tabs
+
+Inspect and manage the Obsidian workspace layout and open tabs.
+
+```bash
+obsidian workspace                                # Show the full workspace tree
+obsidian tabs                                     # List all open tabs (flat list)
+obsidian tab:open file="folder/note.md"           # Open a file in a new tab
+obsidian tab:open view="graph"                    # Open a view type in a new tab
+```
+
+---
+
+## Diff
+
+Compare local and sync versions of a file.
+
+```bash
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md"               # List available versions (local + sync)
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md" from=1 to=2   # Diff two specific versions
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md" filter=local  # Show only local versions
+obsidian diff path="folder/note.md" filter=sync   # Show only sync versions
 ```
