# obsidian (universal standard)
The shared, vault-agnostic standard for authoring Obsidian-flavored markdown, invoked as
`/obsidian`. It is named distinctly from any vault's own project-level `obsidian-md` skill so
the two never collide: both load, each adding its layer. Vault-specific skills layer their own
folder rules, naming, and protections on top of this; this file owns the universal syntax, the
render discipline, and the per-vault detect/probe/mirror workflow. Verified against
help.obsidian.md and Obsidian 1.9/1.10 release notes (2026-06-28).
Obsidian markdown is CommonMark plus GitHub-flavored extensions plus Obsidian-only syntax
(wikilinks, embeds, callouts, typed properties, block refs). The correct way to write in a given
vault depends on that vault's settings and existing conventions, so this skill is a workflow,
detect, probe, mirror, confirm, then author, not a fixed template.
## Core principle
**Mirror, don't invent.** Reuse the vault's existing property keys, tag taxonomy, callout types,
link style, folder layout, naming convention, and templates. When a convention is ambiguous,
prefer the vault's dominant observed pattern over the Obsidian default.
## Render target: Live Preview (always)
Author for **Live Preview / live editor mode**, the mode in use at all times; Reading view is
not used. Hard consequences:
- **No HTML comments (`<!-- -->`) and no raw HTML** for notes, guidance, or layout in authored
content. They are invisible only in Reading view;
