polish

polish is a command for Claude Code from Michael-OvO/obsidian-knowledge-agent. It costs 18 tokens per session (250 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that rewrites existing Obsidian notes for clearer structure and easier teaching while preserving their meaning. It can improve bullets, useful artifacts, and links according to a project style guide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to polish individual notes or folders, improve technical examples and diagrams where useful, repair links, and validate those links.
Why use it?
It removes the effort of manually editing notes that are difficult to read, poorly organised, or weakly connected to related material.

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

polish 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 6d 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

Run the teaching-quality pass on the target ($ARGUMENTS, or the most recently changed notes if none is given). Read .agents/style-guide.md first.

  1. Select the note(s). For a folder, polish the content and concept notes (skip indexes and source notes unless I ask).
  2. Review against the style guide: does the body read naturally top to bottom? Is the machinery off-stage (metadata in frontmatter, no rubric headings)? For technical notes, is it bullet-first with the artifacts that genuinely teach (runnable code, an equation, a diagram)? Are related links specific and useful?
  3. Rewrite only the failing parts — never restate a whole note and never change its meaning. Add a missing artifact only where it actually helps.
  4. Fix and wire wikilinks, then validate them (the bundled scripts/validate_links.py, or the inline check in the workflow). Show me the diffs before committing.
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.
