2 things to look at

no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Work with Obsidian vaults (plain Markdown notes) and automate via obsidian-cli. Search, create, move, rename, and manage notes.

The file declares its own license as Sustainable Use License 1.0. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Obsidian

Obsidian vault = a normal folder on disk.

Vault structure (typical)

Notes: *.md (plain text Markdown; edit with any editor)
Config: .obsidian/ (workspace + plugin settings; usually don’t touch from scripts)
Canvases: *.canvas (JSON)
Attachments: whatever folder you chose in Obsidian settings (images/PDFs/etc.)

Find the active vault(s)

Obsidian desktop tracks vaults here (source of truth):

~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json

obsidian-cli resolves vaults from that file; vault name is typically the folder name (path suffix).

Fast “what vault is active / where are the notes?”

If you’ve already set a default: obsidian-cli print-default --path-only
Otherwise, read ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/obsidian.json and use the vault entry with "open": true.

Notes

Multiple vaults common (iCloud vs ~/Documents, work/personal, etc.). Don’t guess; read config.
Avoid writing hardcoded vault paths into scripts; prefer reading the config or using print-default.

obsidian-cli quick start

Pick a default vault (once):

obsidian-cli set-default "<vault-folder-name>"
obsidian-cli print-default / obsidian-cli print-default --path-only

obsidian-cli search "query" (note names)
obsidian-cli search-content "query" (inside notes; shows snippets + lines)

Create

obsidian-cli create "Folder/New note" --content "..." --open
Requires Obsidian URI handler (obsidian://…) working (Obsidian installed).
Avoid creating notes under “hidden” dot-folders (e.g. .something/...) via URI; Obsidian may refuse.

Move/rename (safe refactor)

obsidian-cli move "old/path/note" "new/path/note"
Updates [[wikilinks]] and common Markdown links across the vault (this is the main win vs mv).

Delete

obsidian-cli delete "path/note"
