cache-notes

A meeting-note helper that fetches transcripts from Google Docs or Otter.ai and places them inside collapsible sections in Obsidian notes. Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores plain-text files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to cache transcripts for one meeting note or scan all meeting notes that contain transcript links. If no links are present, it can ask you to provide them.
Why use it?
It removes the need to copy meeting transcripts into notes by hand and records when a transcript was cached. It can also re-fetch an existing cached transcript.

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

cache-notes 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 2d 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 — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Cache Notes

Usage

  • /cache-notes all — Scan all meetings with Notes: links that haven't been cached yet, fetch and embed them.
  • /cache-notes <path> — Cache notes for a specific meeting file.
  • /cache-notes refresh <path> — Re-fetch and overwrite existing cached content for a file.

If the target file has an empty Notes: property (no URLs yet), run /mail-transcripts first when doing a full wrap (see meeting Mode C) — it may populate Notes: from the Gemini inbox mail. If still empty, prompt the user to paste the external resource URLs (Google Docs, Otter.ai, etc.). Add them to the Notes: frontmatter, then proceed with fetching and caching as normal.

How It Works

Supported external transcript providers are Google Docs (Gemini notes) and Otter.ai. When a URL from either provider appears in frontmatter Notes:, the agent fetches the transcript using that provider's instructions and embeds it as collapsible Obsidian callouts in the meeting note. A NotesCached: frontmatter timestamp marks the file as cached.

Frontmatter Convention

Before caching:

Notes:
  - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}/edit?tab=t.{tab}
  - https://otter.ai/u/{id}

After caching:

Notes:
  - https://docs.google.com/document/d/{id}/edit?tab=t.{tab}
  - https://otter.ai/u/{id}
NotesCached: 2026-02-25T15:00:00+00:00

Provider: Gemini (Google Docs)

Fetching

  1. Extract document ID from the Google Docs URL in Notes:.
  2. Run gws in the terminal to fetch the document (read-only). See google-workspace-cli for exact commands.
  3. Prefer gws docs documents get with includeTabsContent: true and parse the JSON into text (optionally inserting --- TAB: … --- separators from tab titles), or gws drive files export with mimeType: text/plain for a simpler single stream. Parsed content should mirror the old tab layout where needed: --- TAB: Notes ---, --- TAB: Transcript ---.

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.

cache-notes is a skill published in the GitHub repository benoror/obsidianos_work (166 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 2,703 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.
