Note Toolbar API

SkillDocs & knowledge

Write, edit, or debug JavaScript that uses the Note Toolbar `ntb` API inside Obsidian. Use this skill whenever the user wants to script a toolbar item, use ntb.prompt / ntb.suggester / ntb.fileSuggester / ntb.menu / ntb.modal, read or write note properties via ntb.getProperty / ntb.setProperty, work with toolbar items via ntb.getItem / ntb.getToolbars, or combine the ntb API with Dataview JS, JS Engine, or Templater. Also trigger for any script that references `ntb`, `NtbSuggester`, or 'Note Toolbar API'.

Code conventions

  • Comments start with a lower-case character.
  • Use activeWindow.navigator (not bare navigator) for clipboard/permission-sensitive APIs.
  • Use normalizePath() for vault paths.
  • Keep scripts minimal; avoid unnecessary variables.
  • Null-check all UI method results — every ntb UI call returns null if dismissed: if (!result) return;
  • Inline scripts are plain JS; no type annotations.
