canvas-native

Renders Obsidian canvases without Obsidian.

The binary draws a JSON Canvas file to SVG or PNG with Obsidian's geometry and styling.

Canvas native provides a fast loop for agents to generate canvas json and iterate visually.

cargo build --release
cp target/release/canvas-native ~/.local/bin/
canvas-native file.canvas out.png

SKILL.md teaches an agent to render after every edit and read the result. Register this directory as an agent skill, or copy SKILL.md into your agent's skill directory after putting canvas-native on your PATH.

Release build

make package builds a static Linux x86-64 binary and writes a tarball and SHA-256 checksum to dist/. It needs Rust 1.94.1, the x86_64-unknown-linux-musl target, musl-tools, and Python 3.11 or newer.

Pushing an annotated v tag that matches the Cargo version builds and tests Linux x86-64 and ARM64, macOS Intel and Apple Silicon, and Windows x86-64 on GitHub Actions. The tag message becomes the release notes. Each archive contains the binary and both licenses, and has a matching SHA-256 checksum.
