obsidian

obsidian is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eobarretooo/ClawLite. It costs 20 tokens per session (416 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for reading, searching, and editing Markdown notes in a local Obsidian vault. Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores notes as plain text files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search notes, read files, list the vault, create or append notes, and find notes by frontmatter tags.
Why use it?
It removes the need to find and edit vault files manually while helping preserve existing note structure. It also supports safer updates by identifying the vault location and keeping frontmatter intact.

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

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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Obsidian

Use this skill when the user wants to interact with their local Obsidian vault (markdown files).

Vault location

Check OBSIDIAN_VAULT env var or ask the user. Default paths:

  • macOS: ~/Documents/Obsidian or ~/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/
  • Linux: ~/obsidian or ~/Documents/obsidian

Operations

Search notes

grep -r "query" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" --include="*.md" -l
grep -r "query" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" --include="*.md" -n

Read a note

cat "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/path/to/note.md"

List all notes

find "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" -name "*.md" | sort

Create or append a note

# Create new
cat > "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/folder/new-note.md" <<EOF
---
created: $(date -I)
tags: [tag1, tag2]
---

# Title

Content here.
EOF

# Append
echo "\n## New Section\n\ncontent" >> "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT/existing-note.md"

Search by frontmatter tag

grep -r "tags:.*mytag" "$OBSIDIAN_VAULT" --include="*.md" -l

Safety notes

  • Always resolve $OBSIDIAN_VAULT before operating.
  • Do not delete notes without explicit user confirmation.
  • Preserve existing frontmatter when updating files.

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.
