## Prompt for your agent

Fetch this Markdown manifest as plain text: https://skillscout.sh/official/obsidian/obsidian_skills_skillscout.md. If your browser cannot display the Markdown directly, use curl or another text fetcher. Recommend the relevant Obsidian skills package or packages for my goal, explain which individual skills matter, and wait for my approval. After I approve, install with the npx command. If no project is open, install it as an agent skill I can use later.

### defuddle

Use instead of WebFetch when the user provides a URL to read or analyze, for online documentation, articles, blog posts, or any standard web page.

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills --skill defuddle -y
