relate-notes

relate-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EnkrateiaLucca/skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An Obsidian note-linking skill for connecting a main note, such as an outline or draft, to supporting source notes. Obsidian is a note-taking app that can link directly to individual blocks of text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find supporting passages, add block anchors to source notes, and insert links back into the relevant parts of the main note.
Why use it?
It helps prove where specific bullets or paragraphs came from without copying all the source material into the main note.

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

relate-notes 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 9d 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 — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Relate Notes

Given a main note (usually an outline or bites file) and one or more source notes (notes with material to mine), find the bullets/paragraphs in the source(s) that genuinely support specific bullets in the main note. Add Obsidian block-anchors (^id) to those blocks in each source, then add linked-bullet references in the main note that point at those exact blocks.

The result is the institutional-memory move: the main note ends up standing on everything the vault already knows, with links like [[Meeting Notes - Expert Call - 2026-04-21#^47c6a0 | frankenstein skill]] that Cmd-click jumps straight to in Obsidian.

Configuration

Setting Env var Default
Vault location OBSIDIAN_VAULT_DIR ~/notes

Resolve in this order: explicit user instruction → environment variable → default. All note paths are relative to the vault unless an absolute path is given.

Inputs to extract from the user's request

  1. Main note — the outline/bites file that gets new bullets added (required, single file).
  2. Source(s) — can take three forms (required):
    • A single note path (e.g. Licklider - Man-Computer Symbiosis.md).
    • A comma- or newline-separated list of note paths.
    • A search description instead of paths — e.g. "any note about agents and learning", "all my notes on context engineering". In this case, discover candidates yourself (see Discovery below).
  3. Connection kind — what kind of relationships to look for (optional). Examples: "anything about scoping", "only the rubric/litmus-test angle". If absent, decide based on the topics in the main note.
  4. Count — total number of block links to produce across all sources (optional, default 3). Distribute across sources by signal strength, not evenly.
  5. Max sources — cap on how many distinct source notes to draw from when a search description is given (optional, default 5). Keeps the result reviewable.

If the main note is missing or ambiguous, ask the user. Don't guess paths — verify with ls if unsure.

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.
