CLI
Use the Obsidian CLI only as an optional helper for navigation, search, verification, or lightweight note actions. The filesystem remains the source of truth.
Common uses
obsidian help
obsidian search query="diffusion" limit=10
obsidian read file="My Note"
obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] Follow up"
Good uses in Claude Scholar
- open a note after updating it
- search a vault for a known keyword
- append a short daily action item
- verify that CLI targeting works for a specific vault
Do not rely on CLI for
- canonical registry truth
- project binding state
- lifecycle decisions
- sync logic that must work without Obsidian running
Fallback rule
If CLI is unavailable or the Obsidian app toggle is off, continue with filesystem-only KB maintenance.
