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.

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 | $0.00085 | $0.03081 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.01232 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00616 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00308 |
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 2mo 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 — 392 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian CLI — Knowledge Management Skill
Use the obsidian CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance from the terminal. The CLI connects to the running app and provides access to Obsidian-native capabilities: search indexing, the link graph, template variable resolution, frontmatter-aware property management, and task checkbox semantics.
Prerequisites
- Obsidian 1.12+ must be running (CLI connects to the running instance)
- CLI enabled: Settings > General > Enable "Command line interface"
- Binary:
/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/obsidian(added to PATH via~/.zprofile)
If the CLI returns connection errors, ask the user to ensure Obsidian is running.
When to Use CLI vs. Native Tools
Use the Obsidian CLI for:
| Capability | Why CLI wins |
|---|---|
| Search | Uses Obsidian's indexed search — faster, respects aliases and tags |
| Backlinks / orphans / deadends | Requires Obsidian's link graph |
| Tasks | Checkbox semantics — toggle, done, todo, custom status characters |
| Properties | Frontmatter-aware — typed values (date, list, checkbox, number) |
| Templates | Variable resolution ({{date}}, {{time}}, {{title}}) |
| Daily notes | Respects daily note plugin settings (folder, format, template) |
| Outline / word count | Parsed heading tree, accurate word counts |
| Version history | Access Obsidian's file recovery and sync history |
Use native tools (Read, Write, Grep, Glob) for:
- Bulk file reads or multi-file edits
- Regex-based content search across many files
- File creation without templates
- Structural code or markdown changes
- Reading file contents when you need line numbers for Edit tool
Combine both when appropriate — e.g., use CLI search to find relevant files, then Read to inspect and Edit to modify.
Syntax Conventions
obsidian <command> [parameter=value ...] [flags ...]
- Parameters take values:
parameter=valueorparameter="value with spaces" - Flags are boolean switches with no value:
silent,overwrite,total,verbose - Multiline content: use
\nfor newline,\tfor tab - Vault targeting:
vault=<name>must be the first parameter:obsidian vault=Notes daily - File targeting:
file=<name>resolves like wikilinks (name without path/extension);path=<path>requires exact path from vault root - Copy output: add
--copyto any command to copy output to clipboard - Output formats: many commands support
format=json|text|csv|tsv|md|yaml|paths
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 AlteredCraft/claude-code-plugins (12 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,081 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.

Cheap, high-recall first-pass filter that removes obvious junk from a detector candidate pool before expensive story-origin research and PR judgment. Decides keep, monitoronly, or reject — never ranks, writes angles, verifies dates, or decides whether to pitch.

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.
