In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing vault structure, setting up folders for projects, ongoing responsibilities, reference material, and archives, and reorganizing notes around a chosen system.
Why use it?
It gives notes a consistent home and first confirms the actual vault location before making organizational changes.

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

vault-organization 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 10d 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Vault Organization

Audit and reorganize the user's Obsidian vault. Run when asked to organize, clean up, or audit the vault structure — or to set up a sensible structure for a new/empty vault.

Vault path

Confirm the actual vault location first — do not assume ~/Documents/Obsidian Vault. Ask or check Obsidian's settings if the path is not known.

Structuring a vault (new or from scratch)

When the user asks "how should I organize my vault?" or is starting fresh, recommend a structure before touching anything. Use PARA as the default taxonomy — it maps cleanly onto how an assistant actually uses a vault:

  • Projects/ — short-lived efforts with a goal and an end (a trip, a launch, a repair). One folder per project; archive when done.
  • Areas/ — ongoing responsibilities with no end date (Health, Finance, Home, a business, a role). These persist and get maintained.
  • Resources/ — reusable reference material not tied to one project: research, guides, templates, snippets, "how I do X."
  • Archive/ — completed projects and superseded material, kept out of the active tree but searchable.

Conventions that make the vault work for both a human and an agent:

  • MOCs (Maps of Content). Put an MOC.md (or Index.md) at each major folder root that links to its key notes. This is the table of contents the agent reads first to navigate. Keep MOCs updated when notes move.
  • Daily notes live in their own folder (e.g. Journal/ or Daily/) and are capture space, not organization space. Promote anything durable out of a daily note into its PARA home; don't let knowledge rot in dated files.
  • One canonical home per thing. A note lives in exactly one place. Link to it from elsewhere rather than duplicating it — duplicates drift.
  • Names over cleverness. Plain, predictable folder and note names (Areas/Health/, not 02_Health_V2/). The agent finds things by reading names; make them say what's inside.
  • Generated artifacts stay out. The vault stores durable knowledge, not repeatable build/test output (screenshots, renders, Lighthouse runs, backups). Those go under ~/Projects/<project>-artifacts/<date>/ with a pointer note in the vault.

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.
