obsidian-mind: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/mermaid-visualizer/SKILL.md

mermaid-visualizer is a skill for Claude Code from breferrari/obsidian-mind. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,126 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning written ideas into Mermaid diagrams, which are text-based diagrams that render in tools such as GitHub and Obsidian.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create flowcharts, system architectures, comparisons, mind maps, and other diagrams for presentations or documentation.
Why use it?
It helps choose a suitable diagram structure and avoid syntax mistakes that can stop the diagram from rendering.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is breferrari/obsidian-mind's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on obsidian-mind itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything obsidian-mind configures →

Part of the obsidian plugin — 8 skills, 20 commands, 10 agents, 9 hooks shipped together

About the project

Obsidian Mind is an Obsidian vault that stores notes, links, indexes, and other accumulated context so AI coding agents can retain memory across sessions. It is designed for Claude Code and also supports Codex CLI and Gemini CLI through shared hooks, commands, and vault data. Its catalogue add-ons package the vault’s commands, agents, skills, hooks, instructions, settings, plugin, and MCP integration.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

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 →

  • high YARA Match · line 31
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
  • high Memory Poisoning · line 92
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state 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

mermaid-visualizer 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 1mo 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.

Mermaid Visualizer

Overview

Convert text content into clean, professional Mermaid diagrams optimized for presentations and documentation. Automatically handles common syntax pitfalls (list syntax conflicts, subgraph naming, spacing issues) to ensure diagrams render correctly in Obsidian, GitHub, and other Mermaid-compatible platforms.

Quick Start

When creating a Mermaid diagram:

  1. Analyze the content - Identify key concepts, relationships, and flow
  2. Choose diagram type - Select the most appropriate visualization (see Diagram Types below)
  3. Select configuration - Determine layout, detail level, and styling
  4. Generate diagram - Create syntactically correct Mermaid code
  5. Output in markdown - Wrap in proper code fence with optional explanation

Default assumptions:

  • Vertical layout (TB) unless horizontal requested
  • Medium detail level (balanced between simplicity and information)
  • Professional color scheme with semantic colors
  • Obsidian/GitHub compatible syntax

Diagram Types

1. Process Flow (graph TB/LR)

Best for: Workflows, decision trees, sequential processes, AI agent architectures

Use when: Content describes steps, stages, or a sequence of actions

Key features:

  • Swimlanes via subgraph for grouping related steps
  • Arrow labels for transitions
  • Feedback loops and branches
  • Color-coded stages

Configuration options:

  • layout: "vertical" (TB), "horizontal" (LR)
  • detail: "simple" (core steps only), "standard" (with descriptions), "detailed" (with annotations)
  • style: "minimal", "professional", "colorful"

2. Circular Flow (graph TD with circular layout)

Best for: Cyclic processes, continuous improvement loops, agent feedback systems

Use when: Content emphasizes iteration, feedback, or circular relationships

Key features:

  • Central hub with radiating elements
  • Curved feedback arrows
  • Clear cycle indicators

3. Comparison Diagram (graph TB with parallel paths)

Best for: Before/after comparisons, A vs B analysis, traditional vs modern systems

Changes

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.
