Dev turns 2 weeks of Obsidian plugin experience into open-source Skill that lets Codex build and ship plugins
vista8 · x · 2026-09-15
Developer vista8 distilled two weeks of Obsidian plugin-building experience into the open-source Skill qiaomu-obsidian-dev, installable via npx skills add joeseesun/qiaomu-obsidian-dev.
- Workflow: before building a new plugin, the Skill first reads official APIs, then studies similar open-source projects on GitHub; after that, just describe the plugin you want and hand it to Codex to complete development, testing, and automated release.
- The repo encodes architecture decisions and evidence gates for commands, editors, views, indexing, sync, media, and publishing — covering pitfalls like race conditions, stale task isolation, atomic writes, and Chinese IME decoration misalignment in CM6.
- It also works for fixing existing plugins' UX, lifecycle issues, and release evidence.
