save

A command that saves information into the appropriate part of an Obsidian vault, organizing it into readable notes while preserving the writer's voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save decisions, incidents, one-to-one content, achievements, architecture notes, project updates, person context, or general work notes.
Why use it?
It reduces duplicate notes and removes the effort of deciding where new information belongs and how much structure to add.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 33 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 522 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

save 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 2d 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

Process the following input and save it to the vault.

Routing note: Content saved to domains/[Name]/02_PAGES/ or work/04_PAGES/ becomes a permanent page. Content saved to thinking/ is a temporary note with status: thinking (promote via /process when ready).

  1. Read the content — understand what the user is sharing. Don't over-interpret or add structure that isn't there.

  2. Give it order — clean up the content so it's readable and well-organized:

    • Fix obvious typos and formatting issues
    • Add light structure (headings, bullets) where it helps readability
    • Preserve the user's voice and phrasing — don't rewrite into formal language
    • Tag with observation categories ([fact], [decision], [action], etc.) only where they naturally fit
  3. Classify it: decision, incident, 1-on-1 content, win/achievement, architecture, project update, person context, or general work note.

  4. Search first: Use qmd vsearch (or obsidian search if QMD unavailable) to check if a related note already exists. Prefer appending to existing notes over creating new ones for small updates.

  5. Create or update the appropriate note following CLAUDE.md conventions:

    • Correct folder placement (work/01_PROJECTS/, work/03_INCIDENTS/, work/02_1-1/, work/06_ORG/PEOPLE.md, domains/[Name]/02_PAGES/, etc.)
    • Full YAML frontmatter with date, description, tags, and type-specific fields
    • All relevant [[wikilinks]] to people, projects, teams, competencies
  6. Update indexes as needed (work/INDEX.md, work/05_REVIEW/WINS.md, work/06_ORG/PEOPLE.md)

  7. Cross-link: Ensure every new page links to at least one existing page or note and is linked FROM at least one existing page.

After processing, provide a brief summary:

  • What was captured and where
  • Any notes created or updated (with paths)
  • Any items you weren't sure how to classify (ask the user)

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.
