Agent adoption scorecard
Trust, audit, and install readiness at a glance
These scores combine public repository metadata, OpenAgentSkill review signals, maintenance freshness, and install readiness. They are a shortlist signal, not a replacement for human review.
Quality
StrongSolid option that is likely worth shortlisting for production workflows.
Trust
Sandbox onlyUseful candidate with missing or mixed trust signals. Keep it in an isolated workspace until the outcome loop proves task fit.
Audit
Needs reviewA machine-readable review of install readiness, security metadata, maintenance, and adoption risk.

Agent safety v2
53/100 · Avoid automatic install
Sparse or mixed signals. Useful for discovery, but not for autonomous installation.
Test manually in an isolated workspace and compare against safer alternatives.
high
Shell or command execution
Skill metadata references terminal, CLI, shell, subprocess, or command execution workflows.
medium
Network access
Skill likely fetches remote pages, APIs, repositories, or external services.
medium
Filesystem access
Skill may read or write project files, documents, generated artifacts, or local workspace state.
- High-risk permission hints: Shell or command execution
- Dependency or permission surface needs review
Install targets
Install this skill in your agent workflow
Use the public install endpoint to fetch the command, safety checklist, target prompts, and canonical links for this skill.
OpenAgentSkill CLI
Resolve policy, run the source installer safely, and report a verified install receipt.
$ npx --yes https://github.com/Leon-Drq/openagentskill/releases/download/cli-v0.2.1/openagentskill-0.2.1.tgz install davidvkimball-obsidian-dev-skillsAgent resolve plan
Let an agent verify fit before installing.
The Resolve API returns the selected skill, alternatives, safety policy, audit notes, install target, and copy-paste prompt an agent can follow without scraping this page.

## Installation & Usage
This package can be used as a development dependency in your Obsidian project.
### 1. Install to your project ```bash # Using pnpm (Recommended) pnpm add -D obsidian-dev-skills
# Using npm npm install --save-dev obsidian-dev-skills
# Using yarn yarn add -D obsidian-dev-skills ```
### 2. Initialize localized skills Run the initialization script to seed the `.agent/skills/` folder and sync `AGENTS.md`. This also creates a project-specific skill template if one is missing.

# Using npx (Universal entry point) npx obsidian-dev-skills
# Manual execution node node_modules/obsidian-dev-skills/scripts/init.mjs ```
## Skills Overview
### obsidian-dev - TypeScript/JavaScript development patterns - Obsidian API usage - Plugin lifecycle management - Command and settings implementation - `obsidianmd` ESLint rule patterns (`createDiv`/`createSpan`, `activeWindow`, `activeDocument`, sentence case)
### obsidian-theme-dev - CSS/SCSS development patterns - Obsidian CSS variables - Responsive design - Dark/light mode support
### obsidian-ops - Build and release workflows - Version management - Sync procedures - Testing and quality assurance - Obsidian community **scorecard compliance** mapping (vulnerable transitive dep handling via `pnpm.overrides`, duplicate CSS selector detection, ESLint rule violations) - Release workflow with **build provenance attestation** (`actions/attest-build-provena
