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 | $0.00074 | $0.00623 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00311 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00125 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
wiki-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian CLI read transport
Use this skill only to detect transport and read or search a selected vault.
The official executable is obsidian; binary presence alone does not prove it
is usable.
Resolve the installed product root from this skill's own location, not from the vault or current working directory:
PRODUCT_ROOT=/absolute/path/to/installed/claude-obsidian
DETECT_TRANSPORT="$PRODUCT_ROOT/scripts/detect-transport.sh"
test -f "$DETECT_TRANSPORT"
Detect safely
Probe without persisting host state:
bash "$DETECT_TRANSPORT" --peek --vault "$VAULT"
Trust available.cli.usable, not merely present or exit status. A supported
CLI can still be unavailable because the Obsidian app is not running, command
line access is disabled, or its response is an error. Use filesystem reads as
the portable fallback.
Persist a refreshed .vault-meta/transport.json only when the user or setup
workflow asks for a transport snapshot:
bash "$DETECT_TRANSPORT" --force --vault "$VAULT"
That file is derived runtime configuration, not knowledge content. Preserve a
valid manual_override recorded by the detector.
Read and search
Run official CLI commands from the selected vault so Obsidian resolves the correct workspace. Confirm supported syntax with the installed CLI before relying on optional commands. Typical read-only forms are:
(cd "$VAULT" && obsidian read path="$NOTE")
(cd "$VAULT" && obsidian search query="$QUERY")
Use read-only commands for backlinks, tags, or Bases results only when the
detector reports the CLI ready. Otherwise read files under $VAULT directly
and use rg for search. Reject absolute note arguments, traversal, symlinks, or
resolved paths outside the selected vault.
Mutation boundary
Do not use CLI create, write, append, property-set, daily-append, move, rename, or delete commands. Do not replace those commands with direct filesystem writes. Any knowledge or configuration change must be expressed as one reviewed transaction through the portable core; see operation transactions.
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.

wiki-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgriciDaniel/claude-obsidian (14,630 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 623 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.

follower-onboard
Onboard a NEW family/team machine as a FOLLOWER-CONSUMER joining the multi-machine Claude+vault network. A follower READS the shared vault + canon + skills + memory as RECEIVE- ONLY data, runs nothing heavy locally (no RAG/reindex/GPU), and the hub never pushes executable hooks to it.

claudeai-sync
One-command incremental sync of a claude.ai WEB account into the Obsidian vault — pull only new/changed chats, fold them in as notes (idempotent, never overwrites curated ones), extract artifacts as first-class notes, concept-link the new artifacts, refresh the RAG index + dashboard. Trigger on "/claudeai-sync", "pull…
chat-search
Search INSIDE past Claude Code sessions (the episodic "book of chats" index) — find which previous session discussed a topic, and continue it with one command. Uses a SEPARATE session index, NOT the curated-knowledge RAG, so raw chat noise never pollutes the distilled brain. Trigger on "/chat-search", "which chat…
