Tools skills · 10 skills

Tool skills are Agent0's bridge to the rest of your stack.

Ten skills for how Agent0 reads, writes, and searches across tools. Obsidian markdown. Obsidian Bases (database views). Obsidian CLI. JSON Canvas. Vault setup from a free-text description. Defuddle for clean URL extraction. Strategic compact to checkpoint sessions before context runs out. Systematic debugging. UI design intelligence and UI implementation for building interfaces.

These are the infrastructure skills. They do not look flashy, but they are why the rest of the system works reliably.

Questions

Do I need to learn Obsidian first?
Basic comfort with markdown files helps. Obsidian itself has a 30-minute learning curve. After that, your vault is just folders and text files.
