Obsidian ships 1.12.7
Obsidian 1.12.7 shipped this week — it tightens Markdown/graph stability for power note networks and second‑brain workflows. (warp2search.net) The company also published official ‘Agent Skills’ for Claude Code so AI agents can interact with Markdown, JSON Canvas and CLI safely — a big step toward scoped, auditable agents in your vault.

Obsidian 1.12.7 was published March 23, 2026 and its GitHub release page lists downloadable installers and source archives for desktop and mobile platforms. (github.com) The release assets include a Windows.exe at 282 MB, a macOS.dmg at 203 MB, and multiple Linux AppImage/tarball artifacts (around 112–119 MB), each with accompanying SHA‑256 checksums on the release page. (github.com) Obsidian’s official channel noted that the update ships desktop and mobile builds and references a performance improvement to the Obsidian CLI that requires using the latest installer. (mas.to) The obsidian‑skills repository on GitHub — an MIT‑licensed collection of Agent Skills — documents five named skills (obsidian‑markdown, obsidian‑bases, json‑canvas, obsidian‑cli, defuddle) and instructs users to place the files into a /.claude folder to work with Claude Code. (github.com) The kepano/obsidian‑skills project reports roughly 15.8k stars and ~912 forks on GitHub and explicitly states compatibility with Claude Code and Codex CLI by following the Agent Skills specification. (github.com) Anthropic’s Agent Skills framework and Claude Code docs describe skills as filesystem‑based, discoverable modules that Claude loads dynamically, and multiple community guides demonstrate using obsidian‑skills to automate Markdown and JSON Canvas generation in Obsidian vaults with Claude Code.
