What is vault-operator AGENTS.md?

A set of instructions for coding agents working on Vault Operator, an Obsidian plugin that manages notes, searches their meaning, creates canvases, and coordinates multiple agents. It explains how to navigate the project and follow its development rules.

Use it when modifying Vault Operator’s TypeScript code, understanding its architecture, or building and deploying the plugin.

It gives agents the project context and directs them to the right architecture documents before they search or change code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01496	$0.01496
Opus 5.5	$0.00598	$0.00598
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00299	$0.00299
Haiku 4.5	$0.00150	$0.00150

Security

Grade A, and why

vault-operator 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.

Vault Operator, Projekt-Regeln

Runtime-neutrale Regeln für dieses Repo. Gilt für jeden Coding-Agenten. Die übergreifende Arbeitsweise steht in ~/.claude/AGENTS.md, Claude-Code-Spezifisches in CLAUDE.md.

_devprocess/SYSTEM-MAP.md beantwortet, wo die Antwort steht. Sie ist der Einstieg vor arc42 und vor jeder Code-Suche. Der Wegweiser mit einer Zeile pro Konzept ist src/ARCHITECTURE.map, der Router über die Architektur-Entscheidungen _devprocess/architecture/README.md.

Zahlen (Tool-Anzahl, Testdateien, Imports) stehen nur in der SYSTEM-MAP und driften. Im Zweifel nachzählen, nicht aus einer Doku übernehmen.

Projekt

Kilo Code Clone als Obsidian Plugin. AI-gesteuerter Agent für Vault-Management, Semantic Search, Canvas-Generierung und Multi-Agent-Orchestrierung.

Vault Operator ist für Sebastian auch ein Lernprojekt. Bei Architektur- und Design-Entscheidungen das Problem und die Lösung so erklären, dass sie für einen technisch interessierten Nicht-Entwickler nachvollziehbar sind: mit Analogien, aber die zugrundeliegenden Konzepte trotzdem beim richtigen Namen nennen.

Tech Stack

Sprache: TypeScript (strict)
Framework: Obsidian Plugin API
Build: esbuild mit Deploy-Plugin
Runtime: Electron (via Obsidian)
AI APIs: Anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK

Versionen stehen in package.json und manifest.json, nicht hier.

Build und Deploy

npm run build              # Build
npm run dev                # Watch-Mode mit Auto-Deploy
npm run deploy             # Nur Deploy (ohne Build)

Deploy-Ziel kommt aus PLUGIN_DIR in .env, aktuell der lokale Vault ~/Obsidian/Nexus/.obsidian/plugins/vault-operator/.

Build und Deploy nach jedem Implementierungsschritt, nicht erst am Ende.

Verifikation

npm run build, npm run test, npm run typecheck, npm run lint. Vor jedem Push ins Public-Repo zusätzlich der Review-Bot-Check.

Referenz-Implementierung

forked-kilocode/ enthält die originale Kilo Code Codebase. Vor jeder neuen Feature-Implementierung dort das Pattern prüfen.

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.
