obsidian-university-workflow: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/templater-docs/SKILL.md

templater-docs is a skill for Claude Code from ABO896/obsidian-university-workflow. It costs 125 tokens per session (837 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for Obsidian Templater, a plugin that creates notes from reusable templates. It documents commands for dates, files, prompts, frontmatter, the current Obsidian app, web requests, and template execution hooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing or reviewing templates that insert dates, ask users for values, read note metadata, create or move files, access clipboard content, call web features, or run code through Templater.
Why use it?
It prevents incorrect use of Templater syntax and gives a coding agent the documented behavior to follow when changing templates.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is ABO896/obsidian-university-workflow's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on obsidian-university-workflow 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-university-workflow 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

templater-docs 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (setup-templater-skill.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Templater Plugin — Full Documentation

CRITICAL: Read the full docs before writing any code

The complete, official Templater plugin documentation is bundled in this skill:

templater-api.md

Read it fully before writing or modifying any template. Do not rely on training knowledge — the PDF is authoritative.

Modules covered in the docs

Module Key APIs
tp.date now, tomorrow, yesterday, weekday + Moment.js
tp.file title, content, folder, path, cursor, create_new, move, rename, include, find_tfile, exists, tags, selection, creation_date, last_modified_date, cursor_append
tp.frontmatter Any frontmatter key: tp.frontmatter.key or tp.frontmatter["key with spaces"]
tp.system prompt, suggester, multi_suggester, clipboard
tp.web daily_quote, random_picture, request
tp.app Full Obsidian app instance — vault, fileManager, metadataCache, commands
tp.config active_file, run_mode, target_file, template_file
tp.hooks on_all_templates_executed
tp.obsidian TFile, TFolder, normalizePath, htmlToMarkdown, requestUrl
tp.user Custom JS scripts and system command functions

Command types — check the docs for full syntax

Tag Behaviour
<% %> Output the result
<%* %> Execute JS — use tR += to output
<%+ %> Dynamic — preview mode only
<% -%> / <%- %> Trim one newline after/before
<% _%> / <%_ %> Trim all whitespace after/before

Why this matters

Never use raw JS when Templater has a native API. Examples of what NOT to do:

  • new Date().toISOString() → use tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")
  • window.prompt(...) → use await tp.system.prompt(...)
  • Manual frontmatter parsing → use tp.frontmatter.key
  • fetch(...) → use await tp.web.request(...)
  • app.vault.getName() → use tp.file.folder()

Async functions — always await

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
