Install with the CLI
In a terminal, from the folder you want:
npx --yes palatekit@latest install obsidian-canvas-creatorWith no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.
First time: connect the CLI with
npx --yes palatekit@latest loginThe agent analyzes the content, picks a mind map or freeform layout, computes positions to avoid overlaps, then outputs a valid JSON Canvas file ready to import into Obsidian. It applies rules for node size, colors and validation. You get a readable map for revising, teaching or presenting a topic.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Obsidian?
Yes, to open the resulting .canvas file. The agent only writes JSON and installs nothing.
Does it work with languages other than Chinese?
Yes. The Chinese quotation mark rule simply does not apply to you; double quotes are escaped as usual.
