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.

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 | $0.00131 | $0.00984 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00066 | $0.00492 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00197 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00098 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-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 9d 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 — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian CLI
Use the obsidian CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance. Requires Obsidian to be open.
Command reference
Run obsidian help to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: https://help.obsidian.md/cli
Syntax
Parameters take a value with =. Quote values with spaces:
obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world"
Flags are boolean switches with no value:
obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite
For multiline content use \n for newline and \t for tab.
File targeting
Many commands accept file or path to target a file. Without either, the active file is used.
file=<name>— resolves like a wikilink (name only, no path or extension needed)path=<path>— exact path from vault root, e.g.folder/note.md
Vault targeting
Commands target the most recently focused vault by default. Use vault=<name> as the first parameter to target a specific vault:
obsidian vault="My Vault" search query="test"
Common patterns
obsidian read file="My Note"
obsidian create name="New Note" content="# Hello" template="Template" silent
obsidian append file="My Note" content="New line"
obsidian search query="search term" limit=10
obsidian daily:read
obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] New task"
obsidian property:set name="status" value="done" file="My Note"
obsidian tasks daily todo
obsidian tags sort=count counts
obsidian backlinks file="My Note"
Use --copy on any command to copy output to clipboard. Use silent to prevent files from opening. Use total on list commands to get a count.
Plugin development
Develop/test cycle
After making code changes to a plugin or theme, follow this workflow:
- Reload the plugin to pick up changes:
obsidian plugin:reload id=my-plugin - Check for errors — if errors appear, fix and repeat from step 1:
obsidian dev:errors - Verify visually with a screenshot or DOM inspection:
obsidian dev:screenshot path=screenshot.png obsidian dev:dom selector=".workspace-leaf" text - Check console output for warnings or unexpected logs:
obsidian dev:console level=error
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.

obsidian-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository allemaar/open-skills (14 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 131 tokens to every session and 984 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.

daily-briefing
Proactive daily briefing that fires on a recurring schedule, pulls recent memory and workspace context, composes a structured summary (action items, progress, radar, next steps), and delivers it to all active channels. Enable with a time like "set up my daily briefing at 9am". Disable, reschedule, or check status at…
agentic-os-obsidian
Set up an agentic OS inside an Obsidian vault — a configurable command-center dashboard with 5 auto-installed, bundled plugins (Dataview, CustomJS, Shell-commands, Terminal, Homepage), Home + per-profile + Vault Overview pages, KPI cards, sparklines, heatmap, task rollup, and a button bar wired to user-defined Claude…
operator
Build and schedule a personalized Operator prompt that runs a Baalda vault as a second brain on a recurring cadence. Run it from inside the vault: it reads Context/ and CLAUDE.md first to infer org, team, brand voice and paths, then asks only the gaps (cadence, connectors, DM recipient, budgets, signature), writes the…
setup-brain
Set up or upgrade an AI-powered Obsidian vault. Interviews you, builds your vault structure (or works with what you already have), creates your CLAUDE.md memory file, installs tools, and gets you journaling — all in one conversation. Also has a repair/upgrade path for existing users.
second-brain-mapping
Use when the user wants to map or remap their second brain, refresh the vault's queryable metadata index, extract structured frontmatter from typed notes (books, meetings, people, journals, goals), fill wikilink gaps, or surface cross-type insights and patterns no single file shows. Triggers: /second-brain-mapping…
evolve
Use when many related hardened instincts (high-confidence feedback/discovery memories) have piled up in one domain, when the user runs /evolve or asks to promote, cluster, graduate, or consolidate accumulated instincts into a Command, Skill, or Agent, or when files in Instinct Proposals need review. Part of the…
