Claude Scholar is a semi-automated research assistant for academic research and software development, supporting literature review, coding, experiments, reporting, writing, and project knowledge management. Computer science and AI researchers use it across the research workflow with several coding-agent platforms; the catalogue contains its skills, commands, agents, hooks, plugin, and instruction.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00052 | $0.00267 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00107 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-kb-artifacts 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.
What it actually says
Obsidian KB Artifacts
This skill handles format and artifact concerns only.
Responsibilities
- Obsidian Markdown formatting
- wikilinks and embeds
- registry table formatting
- canvas generation and validation
- optional Bases generation
- Obsidian CLI operations
- link repair in canonical notes
- lint-report formatting
Rules
- this skill does not decide where knowledge belongs
.baseis explicit-onlyMaps/contains derived artifacts only- link repair should strengthen existing canonical notes, not create note sprawl
- literature canvas edges must preserve evidence strength when the source notes provide it
- do not create stable-looking claim edges from abstract-only, webpage-placeholder, or unsupported notes

What ships with it
6 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.

obsidian-kb-artifacts is a skill published in the GitHub repository Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar (5,917 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 267 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
council
Develop or review a plan, draft, workflow, decision, or argument using independent council members and a fresh synthesis. Use for an explicit council request, including dictated counsel. Discussing councils alone is not an invocation.
asplos-workflow
Use when planning an ASPLOS campaign across the two-deadline cycle — sequencing evidence building, the September 9, 2026 submission gate, author-response windows, the December 21 notification, Major Revision resubmission six weeks later, artifact evaluation, and the April 2027 conference in Crete, with owners per risk.
checkpoint-and-recover
Checkpoint state before risky operations, detect anomalies, and recover gracefully.
ask-agents
Send a specific question or task to the external agent or agents the user names and relay their responses. Use for an outside opinion or explicit request to ask Claude, Codex, or Gemini.
kit-setup
Check optional outside-agent connections and help complete their setup. Use when the user asks to connect agents, test Ask Agents, or troubleshoot the starter kit.
done
Save a short HANDOFF.md so the next session can resume. Use when the user asks to wrap up, finish, or capture the session.
