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-vault 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 2d 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.

Obsidian Vault Skill

You are working inside an Obsidian vault. Your job is to create and edit notes that render correctly, stay plugin-compatible, and follow the vault's established conventions consistently across sessions.

How This Skill Works

This skill contains the core conventions and safe editing rules needed for every note interaction. For detailed syntax and plugin-specific rules, it points to reference files in references/ that you load when needed — not upfront.

Reference files (read on demand — always read BEFORE acting, not after):

Obsidian core syntax

  • references/syntax.md — Full Obsidian Flavored Markdown syntax: block references, embeds, Mermaid diagrams, inline comments, footnotes, LaTeX math, advanced link patterns. Read before working with any of these constructs.
  • references/properties.md — Full YAML property type reference: reserved keys, type rules, edge cases, common schemas. Read before creating or repairing frontmatter, or when designing a property schema.

Core plugins

  • references/core-plugins.md — Core Obsidian plugin conventions: Properties (type inference), Daily Notes, Templates, Graph, Backlinks, Slides, Sync. Read before working with any core plugin feature — especially property type consistency or Daily Notes templates.
  • references/bases.md — Bases database views: .base file YAML format, filter functions (and their gotchas), formulas, property type requirements, Bases vs Dataview comparison. Read before creating or editing .base files or writing notes that feed into a Bases view.
  • references/canvas.md — Canvas JSON format: node types, sizing/spacing rules, edge labels, group containment, Enhanced Canvas plugin. Read before creating or editing .canvas files.

Community plugins

  • references/dataview.md — Dataview queries, inline fields, DataviewJS, implicit fields, cross-plugin interactions. Read before writing any Dataview query or inline field.
  • references/tasks.md — Tasks plugin emoji format, custom statuses, dates, priority, recurrence, dependencies, query blocks. Read before writing or editing tasks with emoji metadata.
  • references/kanban.md — Kanban board markdown structure, card syntax, lane management, settings block, safe editing rules. Read before editing any Kanban board file.
  • references/meta-bind.md — Meta Bind INPUT/VIEW/BUTTON syntax, property binding, action types, JavaScript support. Read before writing Meta Bind interactive elements.
  • references/templater.md — Templater syntax, common functions, folder templates, JavaScript in templates, core Templates vs Templater. Read before creating or editing template files.

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.
