# JSON Canvas Skill

For people who think in boards, not bullet points

## What this does

You have an idea that belongs on a whiteboard: boxes, arrows, and clusters showing how things connect, not a wall of text. This skill creates and edits canvas files, the format Obsidian uses for exactly those boards. Reach for it when you want a mind map, a flowchart, or any .canvas file made or changed.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Start a new canvas with nodes, edges, and groups
- Sketch out a mind map or a flowchart
- Make changes to an existing .canvas file

## About JSON Canvas Skill

This skill creates and edits JSON Canvas files, the .canvas format used for visual canvases in Obsidian. A canvas holds nodes, edges, groups, and connections: separate pieces of content, the links between them, and clusters that keep related pieces together.

Reach for it when a task calls for a visual canvas, a mind map, or a flowchart, when there is an existing .canvas file to work on, or when Canvas files in Obsidian come up. It can start a new file from nothing or make changes to one you already have.

## Questions

### Is JSON Canvas Skill safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of JSON Canvas Skill and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ac9398734fe7, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/json-canvas.

### How do I install JSON Canvas Skill?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/json-canvas on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/kepano/obsidian-skills/tree/ac9398734fe719565809f7a6048b05c36b1ca38f/skills/json-canvas.
