What is obsidian-vault-manager?

A guide for managing local Obsidian vaults, which are folders containing linked Markdown notes and related files.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00057	$0.01185
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00593
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00237
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00119

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian-vault-manager 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/obsidian_cli.py, scripts/vault_registry.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Obsidian Vault Manager

Quick start

Register or discover vaults with Obsidian CLI first:
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py discover --merge
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py list
Add a vault manually when needed:
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py add --path "/path/to/Vault" --name "Vault"
Manage active workspace:
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py set-active --name "Vault"
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py set-workdir --name "Vault" --workdir "path/inside/vault"
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py active
Run full Obsidian CLI command surface via obsidian subcommand (machine-first by default):
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py obsidian --vault "Vault" search query="meeting notes"
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py obsidian --raw --vault "Vault" read file="Project.md"
Enable destructive commands with --force-delete:
- python3 scripts/vault_registry.py obsidian --force-delete --vault "Vault" delete file="Old.md" permanent
Pick a vault and confirm its path contains .obsidian/ for manual adds.

Local data and env

If /.. is skills, project_root is two levels above the skills folder (/../../..). Confirm with the user if unsure.
Store all mutable state under <project_root>/.skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/.
Keep the vault registry at .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/vaults.json.
Use .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/.env for SKILL_ROOT, SKILL_DATA_DIR, and per-skill env keys.
Install local tools into .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/bin and prepend it to PATH when needed.
Install dependencies under .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/venv (python/node/go/php).
Write logs/cache/tmp under .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/logs, .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/cache, .skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/tmp.
Keep automation in /scripts and do not write outside and <project_root>/.skills-data/obsidian-vault-manager/ unless the user requests it.

Files

What ships with it

8 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.

Changes

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.
