About knap

knap
Render Markdown from templates and structured data using Knap CLI
knap is an agent skill for rendering Markdown from templates and structured data with the Knap command-line tool. Use it when you want to apply a Knap template, or turn JSON or CSV data into notes. Knap templates use variables, filters and logic to produce Markdown. The skill tells you how to install the tool: run npm install -g knap, which needs Node.js 20 or later, or use npx knap to run it without installing. It also explains how to discover the template language from the tool's own offline reference. You can list the available commands, the syntax, the filters and the tags, and then ask for the help text for a single filter, tag or syntax item, which includes parameters and examples with expected output. The skill points the agent to these lists, so it finds the right names before it writes a template. It is useful for creating many notes from a dataset, such as a list of records turned into one note each. The skill is published in the kepano/obsidian-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 3,600 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, with a warning from Snyk.
