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

open 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.

/open - Open in Obsidian

Opens a vault note in Obsidian directly from Claude Code.

Usage

/open <note name>             # Open by name (fuzzy match)
/open daily                   # Open today's daily note
/open Concept - CAMO          # Open a specific note
/open Meeting - 2026-02-11    # Open by partial name

Instructions

1. Resolve the Note

Determine what the user wants to open:

  • "daily" or "today" — resolve to Daily/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD using today's date
  • Exact filename — use as provided
  • Partial name — use Glob to find the matching file:
# Find by partial name

Use the Glob tool with pattern **/*<name>*.md to find the file. If multiple matches, pick the most likely one or ask the user.

2. Build the URI Path

Convert the file path to a URI-encoded relative path (from vault root):

  • Strip the vault root prefix
  • Strip the .md extension
  • URL-encode spaces as %20
  • URL-encode forward slashes as %2F

Examples:

  • Daily/2026/2026-02-11.md → Daily%2F2026%2F2026-02-11
  • Concept - Context Engineering.md → Concept%20-%20Context%20Engineering
  • Meetings/2026/Meeting - 2026-02-11 Stand Up.md → Meetings%2F2026%2FMeeting%20-%202026-02-11%20Stand%20Up

3. Open in Obsidian

Run this command with dangerouslyDisableSandbox: true (required for inter-process communication):

open "obsidian://open?vault=BA-DavidOliver-ObsidianVault&file=<encoded_path>"

The sandbox must be disabled — the open command needs macOS Launch Services to activate Obsidian, which is blocked in sandbox mode.

4. Confirm

Tell the user which note was opened. If Obsidian is not running, the error will mention procNotFound — tell the user to start Obsidian first.

Special Cases

Input Resolves To
daily / today Daily/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD (today's date)
yesterday Daily/YYYY/YYYY-MM-DD (yesterday's date)
A person's name People/<Name>.md
A type prefix (e.g. ADR - ) Search in the appropriate folder

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.
