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.

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 | $0.00031 | $0.00637 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00318 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00127 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
Grade A, and why
search 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Search Skill
Fast keyword search across all vault markdown files using the Grep tool. No indexes, no plugins, no setup — just structured search with directory grouping.
Usage
/search <term>
Examples:
/search project planning/search weekly review/search TODO
How to Execute
When the user invokes /search <term>:
Step 1: Search for the term
Use the Grep tool to search all .md files for the term:
Grep:
pattern: <search term>
glob: "*.md"
output_mode: content
-n: true
-C: 1
Exclude hidden directories (.claude/, .obsidian/) and templates:
Grep:
pattern: <search term>
glob: "*.md"
path: .
output_mode: content
-n: true
-C: 1
Filter out results from .claude/, .obsidian/, and Templates/ directories.
Step 2: Group results by directory
Organise matches into sections by their parent directory:
- Daily Notes/ — journal entries
- Goals/ — goal and vision documents
- Projects/ — project notes
- Archives/ — archived content
- Inbox/ — unprocessed items
- (root) — top-level notes
Step 3: Present results
Format output as:
## Search: "<term>"
### Daily Notes/
- **2024-01-15.md** (line 23): ...matching context...
- **2024-01-14.md** (line 8): ...matching context...
### Projects/
- **Project Alpha.md** (line 45): ...matching context...
### Goals/
- **2024 Goals.md** (line 12): ...matching context...
**Found X matches across Y files**
Step 4: Suggest related content
After showing results, check if any matched files contain [[wiki-links]] to other notes. If so, briefly mention:
💡 Related notes mentioned in results: [[Note A]], [[Note B]]
No Results
If no matches are found:
- Suggest alternative search terms (synonyms, related words)
- Offer to search with case-insensitive matching if the original search was case-sensitive
- Suggest checking
Archives/if not already included
Tips
- Search is case-sensitive by default. Add
-i: trueto the Grep call for case-insensitive search - Use regex patterns for advanced searches:
task.*complete,#tag-name - Combine with
/dailyto quickly find when something was mentioned
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.

search is a skill published in the GitHub repository ballred/obsidian-claude-pkm (1,861 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 637 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.
