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 | $0.00094 | $0.01407 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00047 | $0.00704 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
Obsidian 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 6d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian Skill
Create, edit, search, and manage Obsidian vault files using the Obsidian CLI (90+ commands) and direct file operations with full knowledge of Obsidian-specific syntax extensions.
Based on kepano/obsidian-skills by Steph Ango (MIT License).
Obsidian CLI
The Obsidian CLI (requires Obsidian 1.12.7+) provides native access to vault operations. Prefer CLI commands over raw file reads for searching, querying, and metadata operations.
See reference/ObsidianCLI.md for the full command reference.
Prerequisites
- Obsidian desktop app must be running (CLI communicates with the app)
- Enable via: Settings > General > "Command line interface"
- Linux: binary at
~/.local/bin/obsidian
When to Use CLI vs Direct File Operations
| Task | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Search notes | CLI: obsidian search query="..." |
Native full-text + metadata search |
| Read a note | CLI: obsidian read path="note.md" |
Simpler than resolving vault paths |
| Create a note | CLI: obsidian create path="note.md" content="..." |
Handles templates, dedup |
| Append to daily note | CLI: obsidian daily:append content="..." |
Auto-resolves daily note path |
| Get/set properties | CLI: obsidian property:set/read |
No YAML parsing needed |
| Find backlinks | CLI: obsidian backlinks path="note.md" |
Graph traversal |
| Find orphan notes | CLI: obsidian orphans |
No equivalent via file ops |
| Query a Base | CLI: obsidian base:query path="db.base" |
Native query engine |
| Toggle tasks | CLI: obsidian task path="note.md" line=5 |
Clean task management |
| Write complex Markdown | Direct Write/Edit tool | Full control over formatting |
| Create .base files | Direct Write tool | Full YAML control needed |
| Create .canvas files | Direct Write tool | Full JSON control needed |
| Bulk file operations | Direct file tools | CLI is per-file |
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

Obsidian is a skill published in the GitHub repository CarbeneAI/Forge (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 1,407 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-09-03.
