Canvas

Treat a canvas as a vault-scoped JSON Canvas document. Keep reads read-only and route every requested mutation through one recoverable transaction.

Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:

PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
CORE="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/claude-obsidian.py"
test -f "$CORE"

Every ../wiki/references/ link in this file resolves the same way, relative to this skill's own directory under $PRODUCT_ROOT, never relative to the selected vault's wiki/ directory.

Choose the syntax source

Prefer a separately installed kepano/obsidian-skills json-canvas skill for format details. Otherwise read references/canvas-spec.md. The open standard is JSON Canvas 1.0.

Use this skill for vault workflow and transaction safety even when an upstream syntax skill is available.
