Save to Obsidian
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears to do what it claims—save markdown to a remote Obsidian vault—but users should notice that it uses SSH/scp and can overwrite vault files with matching names.
Install only if you want your agent to copy markdown files to a remote Obsidian vault over SSH. Check the TOOLS.md configuration, use a restricted SSH key/account if possible, and be careful with filenames because matching names may overwrite existing notes.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
A saved note can create or replace a file in the remote Obsidian vault.
The use of scp is expected for this skill, but it gives the agent the ability to write to the configured remote vault, and the artifact explicitly notes that filename collisions overwrite without warning.
Copy to remote vault: `scp <filepath> user@remote-host:/path/to/obsidian/vault/` ... Duplicate filename: overwrites silently
Verify the destination vault and filename before saving important content; consider adding an existence check or explicit overwrite confirmation.
The skill can authenticate to the configured SSH host and write files using whatever permissions that SSH account has.
SSH authentication is purpose-aligned for copying to a remote vault, but it relies on local SSH credentials and the configured remote account.
Uses existing SSH key auth (no password) ... SSH key path | Path to SSH private key (default: `~/.ssh/id_rsa`)
Use a dedicated SSH key or remote account limited to the intended Obsidian vault directory, and keep the TOOLS.md host/path configuration under your control.
Installation may require manual setup that is not captured by the registry metadata, and a misconfigured script or SSH setup could save to the wrong place.
The metadata under-declares runtime expectations because the included README and script require SSH/scp setup and a save-to-obsidian shell script.
Required binaries (all must exist): none ... No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill
Before using it, confirm the installed script path, scp availability, SSH host, and vault path match your intended Obsidian vault.
