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.

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 →

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 | $0.00054 | $0.04125 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00027 | $0.02063 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00825 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00413 |
Grade A, and why
polish-docs-meta 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 — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When to Use
- Server implementation is functionally complete (tools, resources, prompts, services all working)
bun run devcheckpasses, tests pass- You're preparing for first commit, first release, or making the repo public
- User says "polish", "polish docs", "finalize", "make it ship-ready", "clean up docs", or similar
- Re-running after adding/removing tools, resources, or other surface area changes
Prefer running after implementation is complete, but safe to re-run at any point — steps are idempotent.
Companion: pair with security-pass for a full pre-ship review — this skill polishes docs and metadata; security-pass audits handlers for MCP-specific security gaps.
Prerequisites
- All tools/resources/prompts implemented and registered
-
bun run devcheckpasses - Tests pass (
bun run test)
If these aren't met, address them first.
Steps
1. Audit the Surface Area
Read all tool, resource, and prompt definitions. Build a mental model of what the server actually does — names, descriptions, input/output shapes, auth scopes. This inventory drives every document below.
Read:
src/index.ts(what's registered increateApp())- All files in
src/mcp-server/tools/definitions/ - All files in
src/mcp-server/resources/definitions/ - All files in
src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions/ - All files in
src/services/(if any) src/config/server-config.ts(if any)
Capture: tool count, resource count, prompt count, service count, required env vars.
2. README.md
Read references/readme.md for structure and conventions. If README.md doesn't exist, create it from scratch. If it exists, diff the current content against the audit — update tool/resource/prompt tables, env var lists, and descriptions to match the actual surface area. Don't rewrite sections that are already accurate.
The bold header tagline (the <b> text inside the first <p>) must match the package.json description. The surface count is a nested <div> inside the same <p>, separated by •.
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.

polish-docs-meta is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/obsidian-mcp-server (676 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 4,125 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
knowledge-base-management
A lifecycle system for managing an Obsidian knowledge base, which is a folder of linked notes. It organizes raw material, AI-maintained wiki pages, and generated views into separate layers.
pkm-session-end
Use when wrapping up a work session — creates devlog entry, captures undocumented decisions/research/debugging, audits link health of session work, and updates project index. Primarily used via the pkm-capture agent.
pkm-write
Use when writing to the vault — creating new notes (vaultwrite), editing existing notes (vaultedit, vaultappend, vaultupdatefrontmatter). Handles duplicate checking, link discovery, annotations, and index updates for new notes. Provides guidelines for modifications.
triage-tasks
Use when you want to review and batch-update open vault task statuses for the current project or across all projects.
pkm-explore
Use when researching what the vault knows about a topic — performs graph + semantic exploration with gap analysis to map existing knowledge and find missing connections. Primarily used via the vault-explorer agent. Not for routine session-start context loading (hooks handle that).
tackle-task
Use when starting work on a specific vault task, when a task title or path is mentioned, or when coming from triage output.
