A repository guide for Alcove, an Obsidian-based knowledge system and private documentation store used by AI agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent works on the Alcove documentation repository, its Obsidian vault, or the connected Alcove service.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project’s purpose, file locations, folder structure, and handling rules so they do not place or copy documents incorrectly.

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

alcove 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 5d 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.

Repository Purpose

This repository serves three roles:

  1. Obsidian vault (Second Brain) — ZK + PARA + LYT hybrid knowledge management system
  2. Alcove docs root — private project documentation served to AI agents via the alcove MCP server
  3. Git repository — versioned with Conventional Commits, remote: [email protected]:epicsagas/alcove-docs.git

Documents here must never be copied into public project repos.

Actual Location

$VAULT_PATH — accessed by both obsidian-forge and alcove MCP server.

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.
