Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.03629 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01814 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00726 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00363 |
Grade A, and why
en 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 8d 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.

ScholarSkill - Academic Paper Reading and Knowledge Internalization
Description: An Obsidian-based L3-grade paper reading and memory extraction system.
Version: v1.0.0
Last Updated: 2026-03-18
Setup Guide Before First Use
Welcome to ScholarSkill! Owl mascot included.
Before reading papers, complete the setup flow below. This package supports three setup modes.
Setup Modes
Mode 1: Fully Automatic Setup (auto)
# Choose the English package first, then explicitly point to the target Obsidian vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py auto --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"
Best for: first-time users with Obsidian already installed
Automatically handles:
- detecting the Obsidian vault location
- creating the folder structure (
1-Papers,2-Knowledge,3-MOCs,memory, and more) - generating the config file
- checking dependency skills
Note: it is strongly recommended to always pass --vault-path so the script never selects the wrong vault and only syncs the English templates.
Mode 2: Semi-Automatic Setup (semi) - Recommended
# Run the English package setup script and explicitly provide the target vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py semi --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"
Best for: users who want to confirm each step
Flow:
- detect the Obsidian vault automatically, or prompt you if needed
- ask whether to create the folder structure
- check dependency skills and ask whether to install them
- generate the config file
Mode 3: Manual Setup (manual)
# Run the English package setup script and explicitly provide the target vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py manual --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"
Best for: advanced users who know exactly what they want
Flow:
- enter the Obsidian vault path manually
- skip directory creation for now
- only check dependencies without prompting installation
- generate a minimal config file
What ships with it
23 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.

en is a skill published in the GitHub repository EESJGong/scholar-skill (222 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,629 tokens. 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.

Use for task-driven Codex work that should preserve agent memory and durable results in an Obsidian or Markdown LLM+wiki vault: query planning, source boundaries, project workbench notes, checkpoints, decision logs, result writeback, and lint. Always use this skill when the user mentions Codex plus Obsidian, LLM+wiki…
save
Save a user-selected answer, decision, insight, or session summary into an Obsidian vault as one reviewed transaction. Use only when the user explicitly asks to preserve specific conversation content, not when they supply a file or URL to ingest. Triggers: /save, save this, save that answer, file this conversation…
wiki-retrieve
Build and query a vault-local contextual BM25 retrieval index with optional multilingual Nomic cosine reranking; use for retrieve, hybrid retrieval, BM25, rerank, contextual retrieval, chunk search, vault search, semantic search, find relevant passages, or retrieval diagnostics. Derived caches stay under .vault-meta…
obsidian-bases
Explain, draft, and validate Obsidian Bases .base files with filters, formulas, properties, summaries, and table, card, or list views. Use for Obsidian Bases, database-like vault views, dynamic tables, reading lists, task trackers, filters, formulas, summaries, and .base file edits.
wiki-fold
Create a bounded, extractive, structurally idempotent rollup of recent Obsidian wiki log entries, with dry-run preview by default and one optional transaction apply. Use for manual log compression without modifying child pages. Triggers: fold the log, run a fold, run wiki-fold, log rollup, roll up log entries, commit…
wiki-mode
Read or configure the vault filing methodology and suggest destinations for planned knowledge creation under Generic, LYT, PARA, or Zettelkasten. Use for wiki mode, methodology mode, what is my vault mode, set vault mode, switch to PARA, use LYT, Zettelkasten setup, change mode, configure mode, or methodology routing.…
