Obsidian Check

Review code against all ObsidianReviewBot rules before pushing. Reports violations grouped by severity with exact file locations and fixes.

Usage

/obsidian-check — scans the current Obsidian plugin project for all bot violations.

Procedure

Step 1: Verify project structure

Check that manifest.json, package.json, and src/ exist. If not, abort with message.

Step 2: Ensure eslint-plugin-obsidianmd is installed

Check if eslint-plugin-obsidianmd is in package.json devDependencies. If NOT installed:

1. Install it and its peer dependencies:

npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-obsidianmd @typescript-eslint/parser typescript-eslint @eslint/js

2. If no ESLint config file exists (eslint.config.mjs, .eslintrc.*), create eslint.config.mjs:

import tsparser from "@typescript-eslint/parser";
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config";
import obsidianmd from "eslint-plugin-obsidianmd";

export default defineConfig([
  ...obsidianmd.configs.recommended,
  {
    files: ["**/*.ts"],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: tsparser,
      parserOptions: { project: "./tsconfig.json" },
    },
  },
]);

3. Inform the user that eslint-plugin-obsidianmd was installed and configured.

Step 3: Run TypeScript check

npx tsc --noEmit

Report any type errors.

Step 4: Run eslint-plugin-obsidianmd

npx eslint src/ 2>&1

This covers sentence case (ui/sentence-case), inline styles, command rules, manifest validation, TFile/TFolder casts, forbidden elements, and more. Report all ESLint errors and warnings.

Step 5: Manual checks (scan all .ts files in src/)

These checks catch issues NOT covered by eslint-plugin-obsidianmd. Run by reading the source code:

Required (blocking)

#	Check	How to detect
1	No unnecessary type assertions	Search for as Type where ?? fallback makes it redundant
2	Promises handled	Search for async function calls without await, void, .catch(), or .then() with rejection
3	No async without await	Search for async methods with no await inside
4	No promise where void expected	Search for async callbacks in event handlers that expect void
5	No object stringification	Search for template literals with ?? where left side could be an object
6	Setting.setHeading()	Search for createEl('h1'), createEl('h2'), createEl('h3') in settings/modals

Optional (warnings)

#	Check	How to detect
1	Unused imports	TypeScript check catches these
2	Unused variables	TypeScript check catches these
3	console.log in lifecycle	Search for console.log in onload()/onunload()

Step 6: Check manifest.json

• id: alphanumeric + dashes, no "obsidian", no "plugin" suffix
• name: no "Obsidian", no "Plugin" suffix
• description: no "Obsidian", no "This plugin", must end with . ? ! ), under 250 chars
• All required fields present: id, name, version, minAppVersion, description, author
• version matches latest git tag (if any)

Step 7: Check LICENSE

• File exists
• Copyright year is current year
• Copyright holder is not placeholder

Step 8: Report

Output a structured report:

## Obsidian Lint Report

### TypeScript: [PASS/FAIL]
[errors if any]

### ESLint: [PASS/FAIL]
[errors if any]

### Required Violations: [count]
[grouped by rule, with file:line and suggested fix]

### Optional Warnings: [count]
[grouped by rule]

### Manifest: [PASS/FAIL]
[issues if any]

### License: [PASS/FAIL]
[issues if any]

---
**Result: [READY TO PUSH / FIX REQUIRED ISSUES FIRST]**
[count] required issues, [count] warnings

Step 9: Offer to fix

If violations are found, ask:

1. Fix all automatically
2. Fix only required violations
3. Show me the details, I'll fix manually

For auto-fix, apply changes following the obsidian-plugin-development skill rules (move styles to CSS classes, fix sentence case, remove unnecessary assertions, void unhandled promises, etc.).
