obsidian-fns
Control a remote Obsidian vault through Fast Note Sync. Use when reading, searching, writing, or appending notes in Obsidian from OpenClaw, especially for remote vault workflows that do not have direct filesystem access.
Best use case
obsidian-fns is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Control a remote Obsidian vault through Fast Note Sync. Use when reading, searching, writing, or appending notes in Obsidian from OpenClaw, especially for remote vault workflows that do not have direct filesystem access.
Teams using obsidian-fns should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# obsidian-fns
Use this skill to operate a remote Obsidian vault through Fast Note Sync.
## Use the action layer by default
Prefer these high-level commands for normal work:
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/fns_actions.py search-notes --keyword "OpenClaw"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/fns_actions.py read-note --path "OpenClaw/API-Test.md"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/fns_actions.py write-note --path "OpenClaw/API-Test.md" --content "# hello"
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/fns_actions.py append-note --path "OpenClaw/API-Test.md" --content "\n- one more line"
```
Use the lower-level CLI only when you need debugging, unsupported operations, or direct API diagnosis:
```bash
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/fns.py --help
```
## Operating rules
- Prefer `search-notes`, `read-note`, `write-note`, and `append-note` for routine tasks.
- Read first if the target note/path is uncertain.
- Avoid overwriting an existing note blindly when append is enough.
- For exploratory or risky work, create or use a dedicated test path first.
- Keep existing compatibility assumptions intact unless the user explicitly asks to migrate config keys or paths.
## Supported capabilities
This skill has verified support for:
- login and token reuse
- vault listing and tree inspection
- note search and read
- write, append, prepend, replace
- rename and move
- history lookup
- Chinese paths and paths with spaces
