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

ezrag AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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.

EzRAG - Obsidian Plugin for Semantic Search via Google Gemini

Quick Start for Developers

New to this codebase? Start here:

  1. Read this file for high-level overview and module guide

  2. Read ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed design, data models, and implementation notes

  3. Key entry points:

    • main.ts - Plugin lifecycle (start here to understand initialization)
    • src/lifecycle/indexingLifecycleCoordinator.ts - Centralized runner/connection gating & store provisioning
    • src/indexing/indexingController.ts - Indexing lifecycle management
    • src/indexing/indexManager.ts - Core indexing logic
    • src/indexing/filePreparationService.ts / documentMetadata.ts / documentReplacer.ts - Shared file ingestion helpers
    • src/indexing/persistentQueue.ts - Queue orchestration, retries, and connection-aware scheduling
    • src/gemini/geminiService.ts - Gemini API integration
  4. Build and test:

    npm install
    npm run dev  # Watch mode for development
    
  5. Critical concepts to understand:

    • Runner pattern: Only one machine indexes per vault
    • Hot path optimization: No remote checks during file changes
    • Queue persistence: Uploads survive restarts
    • Smart reconciliation: Rebuild doesn't create duplicates

What is EzRAG?

EzRAG is an Obsidian plugin that indexes your notes into Google Gemini's File Search API, enabling semantic search and AI-powered chat over your vault. Key features:

  1. Automatic Indexing: Continuously syncs selected notes to Gemini as you edit
  2. Smart Change Detection: Uses content hashing to avoid redundant uploads
  3. Multi-Device Support: "Runner" pattern designates one machine to handle indexing
  4. Chat Interface: Query your notes using natural language
  5. MCP Server (planned): External tools can query your vault via Model Context Protocol

How It Works

The Runner Pattern (Critical Concept)

In multi-device setups (laptop + desktop), only one machine (the "runner") handles indexing:

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.
