obsidian-claude: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

obsidian-claude CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from JeanDiable/obsidian-claude. It costs 1,104 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for using the Obsidian Claude plugin with a specific note vault, meaning a folder that stores Obsidian notes. It defines the vault location and organizes notes into folders for projects, responsibilities, resources, clippings, plans, and archives.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure the vault and classify notes into areas such as research, career, personal growth, finances, professional knowledge, hobbies, books, and entertainment.
Why use it?
It gives the plugin a known place and structure for working with notes, reducing confusion about where different kinds of information belong.

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-claude CLAUDE.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 9d 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 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.
