claude-obsidian is a local knowledge system that turns source material into linked, source-cited Markdown notes in an Obsidian vault for use with Claude Code and compatible agent hosts. People use it to capture research, retrieve evidence-grounded answers, maintain knowledge, and map connections while retaining ownership of their files. The catalogue entries provide workflows and extensions for operating this knowledge system.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00084 | $0.00954 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00477 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00191 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00095 |
Grade A, and why
think 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 7d 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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Think
Use the ten stages as a loop of attention, not a ceremonial transcript. Scale the depth to novelty, stakes, uncertainty, and irreversibility. Keep the final reasoning summary concise and evidence-bearing.
This skill is read-only. It may inspect available evidence, but it does not edit files, execute a vault mutation, commit Git, or publish anything. If the CREATE stage recommends a change, compose with the appropriate mutation skill after the user authorizes that operation.
Establish an evidence frame
Before the loop, separate:
- Observed: directly supported by an input, source, test, or measurement.
- Inferred: a conclusion drawn from observations; state the bridge.
- Unknown: missing evidence that could change the decision.
- Preference: a user or designer choice, not a factual claim.
Attach citations or concrete locators when sources exist. Never fabricate a quotation, locator, test result, consensus, or confidence level.
The ten stages
1. OBSERVE — external
Read the actual inputs, current state, constraints, failures, and prior work. Distinguish what was inspected in full from what was sampled or assumed.
2. OBSERVE — internal
Name the biases most likely to distort this decision: anchoring, ownership, novelty, familiarity, urgency, sunk cost, confirmation, or a desired verdict. Recalibrate confidence to the evidence available.
3. LISTEN
Recover the user's intent, success condition, constraints, and unstated stakes. Attend to error messages, dissent, edge cases, and affected voices. Ask only questions whose answers could materially change the outcome.
4. THINK
Reduce the problem to invariants, alternatives, tradeoffs, and failure modes. Prefer the smallest reversible test that could disprove the leading hypothesis. Treat failure behavior as part of the specification.
5. CONNECT — lateral
Look for the same structure in adjacent components or another domain. Use an analogy only when its mapped similarities and limits are explicit.
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.

think is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian (14,662 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 954 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
