Obsidian + Claude Code Accountability System is a personal knowledge-management setup that connects long-term goals with projects, reviews, daily notes, and tasks inside Obsidian. People use it to plan work, track progress, and review whether daily activity supports their goals with help from Claude Code. Its catalogue add-ons implement the system's planning, tracking, and review workflows.
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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 5 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
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 | $0.00041 | $0.01438 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00719 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00288 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00144 |
Grade A, and why
goal-tracking 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 11d 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.

- Personal: [Vision statement]
Yearly Goals
## 2024 Goals
- [ ] Goal 1 (XX% complete)

- [x] Goal 3 (100% complete)
Monthly Goals
## This Month's Focus

Progress Calculation
Checklist-Based Goals
Progress = (Completed checkboxes / Total checkboxes) * 100
Metric-Based Goals
Progress = (Current value / Target value) * 100
Time-Based Goals
Progress = (Days elapsed / Total days) * 100
Common Operations
View Goal Progress
- Read all goal files
- Parse checkbox completion rates
- Calculate overall and per-goal progress
- Identify stalled or at-risk goals
Update Goal Status
- Find goal in appropriate file
- Update checkbox or percentage
- Add date stamp for significant milestones
- Update related weekly review
Connect Task to Goal
When adding tasks to daily notes:
- Identify which goal the task supports
- Add goal reference:
Supports: [[1. Yearly Goals#Goal Name]] - Use appropriate priority tag
Surface Stalled Goals
- Check last activity date for each goal
- Flag goals with no progress in 14+ days
- Suggest actions to restart momentum
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.
- 11d ago First seen · 209 lines · 41 tokens per session scan A 4edcf4dd0af0
goal-tracking is a skill published in the GitHub repository ballred/obsidian-claude-pkm (1,861 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,438 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
