obsidian-transcriber: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

obsidian-transcriber AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dsebastien/obsidian-transcriber. It costs 9,035 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Obsidian Transcriber, an Obsidian community plugin written in TypeScript. Obsidian is a note-taking application that can be extended with plugins; the instructions distinguish user documentation from technical project documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying main.ts or the plugin build, reading business rules and project history, consulting Obsidian API types, updating the right documentation area, and preparing main.js, manifest.json, or styles.css.
Why use it?
They make clear which files serve end users and which guide developers or coding agents. They also define the required startup reading and release files before changes are made or shipped.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is dsebastien/obsidian-transcriber's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on obsidian-transcriber itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything obsidian-transcriber configures →

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

obsidian-transcriber 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 714 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Documentation

Documentation surfaces

Three locations, do not mix them:

  • README.md — GitHub landing page; pitch, features, install, quick start.
  • docs/ — end-user guide, published via GitHub Pages (Jekyll).
  • documentation/ — technical documentation for you and coding agents (architecture, domain model, business rules, history, plans).

Project overview

  • Target: Obsidian Community Plugin (TypeScript → bundled JavaScript).
  • Entry point: main.ts compiled to main.js and loaded by Obsidian.
  • Required release artifacts: main.js, manifest.json, and optional styles.css.

Agent Workflow

Session-start checklist

Before making any change, read these in order:

  1. documentation/Business Rules.md — mandatory invariants (see below).
  2. The most recent documentation/history/yyyy-mm-dd.md file — what was last done and any open blockers.
  3. Active plans under documentation/plans/ — what the current direction is.
  4. Relevant sections of node_modules/obsidian/obsidian.d.ts whenever you are about to use an Obsidian API you have not recently used. Do not guess API shapes; they change between versions.

Definition of done

A change is only "done" when all of the following hold:

  • bun run tsc passes with zero errors.
  • bun run lint passes with zero warnings (the repo is configured with --max-warnings 0).
  • bun test passes; new logic has new .spec.ts coverage next to the file it tests.
  • bun run build completes without errors.
  • The day's file in documentation/history/ has been updated with what was done, decisions made, and any open questions.
  • If a plan in documentation/plans/ drove the work, it has been updated or closed.
  • Any user-visible change to behavior, commands, or settings is reflected in README.md and/or docs/.

You cannot self-verify UI behavior — Obsidian is a GUI app and agents do not have a live vault. State explicitly in your final message when a change requires manual runtime verification and what to check. Do not claim a UI feature "works" based solely on a passing build.

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.
