Claude Code Skills

A collection of custom skills for Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude.

Available Skills

obsidian-canvas

Create production-ready Obsidian .canvas files with intelligent layout handling.

Key Features:

• Auto-sizing nodes — Height is calculated from content to prevent text cutoff. No more truncated labels or clipped descriptions.

• Row-aligned column layouts — For flowcharts and pipelines, nodes in the same row automatically match the tallest node's height, keeping your diagram clean and readable.

• Straight connector logic — Explicit guidance for vertical (bottom → top) and horizontal (right → left) flows, so your arrows don't zigzag unnecessarily.

• Python helper library — Programmatically generate canvases with CanvasBuilder. Includes estimate_height() for content-aware sizing and create_column_layout() for multi-column flowcharts.

• Smart file placement — Defaults to docs/ folder when it exists (common in dev projects), otherwise saves to vault root.

Example use cases:

• System architecture diagrams
• Data pipeline flowcharts
• Project documentation with linked notes
• Mind maps and knowledge graphs

Installation
