Markdown Based Custom Command Templates With Variable Substitution

via “markdown-based custom command templates with variable substitution”

THE Copilot in Obsidian

Unique: Implements a markdown-based template system where users define prompts as markdown files with {{variable}} placeholders that are substituted at runtime. Variables include selectedText, fileName, currentDate, and vault context. Templates are stored in the vault itself, making them version-controllable and shareable. No code required — users edit markdown files to define custom commands.

vs others: More accessible than prompt engineering in ChatGPT because templates are stored in the vault and reusable. More flexible than hardcoded commands because users can modify templates without plugin updates. Simpler than full scripting languages (e.g., Templater) because it's focused on AI prompt generation.
