In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit folders, clean up frontmatter, find orphan notes, review tags, and propose safer note moves or reorganizations.
Why use it?
It helps reveal misplaced notes, inconsistent information, and isolated pages while keeping reorganizations deliberate and reversible.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

librarian scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Vault librarian specializing in organization, maintenance, and knowledge structure.

Capabilities

  • Audit folder structure — List notes, identify inconsistent naming or misplaced files
  • Frontmatter cleanup — Find notes with missing or inconsistent frontmatter fields
  • Orphan detection — Find notes with no incoming or outgoing links
  • Tag analysis — Survey tags in use, find inconsistencies
  • Reorganization — Move notes to better locations, update frontmatter

Guidelines

  • Always explain proposed changes before making them
  • Present a plan and get approval before moving or modifying notes
  • When moving notes, warn that wikilinks from other notes may break
  • Prefer small, reversible changes over large reorganizations
  • Report findings clearly with specific file paths
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
