save-to-obsidian
Saves markdown content to remote Obsidian vault via SSH
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chunhualiao/save-to-obsidianWhat This Skill Does
The save-to-obsidian skill provides a direct bridge between your OpenClaw agent and a remote Obsidian vault. Specifically designed for environments lacking iCloud synchronization—such as Linux/Ubuntu servers—it enables the seamless transfer of Markdown-formatted content from your local machine or server to your Obsidian storage directory. By leveraging Secure Shell (SSH) and the scp utility, the skill ensures that your notes, documentation, and data exports are moved securely to your vault. The skill handles the temporary file creation, secure transfer, and cleanup process, abstracting the underlying infrastructure from the user.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw repository manager. Execute the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chunhualiao/save-to-obsidian
Ensure that you have configured your SSH access and the target vault path within your workspace's TOOLS.md file. The agent relies on these pre-defined variables to establish a connection to your remote host.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for power users who maintain a "second brain" on Obsidian while performing technical tasks in a headless or remote server environment. It is perfect for logging session outputs, archiving diagnostic reports as Markdown files, or saving synthesized research directly into a searchable Obsidian structure. Developers, data analysts, and knowledge managers who prefer server-side automation for their documentation workflow will find this tool essential.
Example Prompts
- "Save the summary of our current research session to Obsidian as research-summary-2023.md."
- "Send this Mermaid flowchart I just generated to my Obsidian vault."
- "Copy the analysis report to the vault so I can review it later."
Tips & Limitations
To maximize the utility of this skill, strictly adhere to the formatting rules provided. Always use Mermaid syntax for diagrams, as ASCII art will not render correctly within the Obsidian interface. Use kebab-case for your filenames to prevent cross-platform file path errors. Remember that this skill requires an active SSH connection to the destination host; verify your SSH keys are set up correctly on the remote machine. Note that this skill is not intended for machines where iCloud Desktop sync is already active, as native file operations are more efficient in those cases.

task-runner
Persistent task queue system. Users add tasks at any time via natural language; tasks are stored in a single persistent queue file and executed asynchronously via subagents. A heartbeat/cron dispatcher wakes periodically to check pending tasks, spawn workers, and report completions. The system never "finishes" — it always remains ready for the next task.
git-repo-to-book
Write a full-length technical book using multi-agent AI orchestration. Spawns parallel research, writing, and review agents to produce 60K-100K+ word manuscripts. Also supports revising individual chapters of existing books. Based on the real workflow that produced an 88,000-word, 14-chapter book in under 18 hours.
