What is joplin-knowledge-flow?

A workflow skill for using Joplin, a note-taking app, as a local knowledge base through connected tools.

Querying and brainstorming from Joplin notes, confirming captured ideas, archiving project artifacts, syncing sources or workflow notes, and compiling a wiki.

It gives coding agents a defined way to search notes, save useful ideas, archive project material, and keep workspace notes in sync.

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	$0.00102	$0.01216
Opus 5	$0.00051	$0.00608
Sonnet 5	$0.00020	$0.00243
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00122

Security

Grade A, and why

joplin-knowledge-flow 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 11d 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.

Joplin Knowledge Flow

Use the joplin-llm-wiki MCP tools as the primary interface for knowledge-flow operations in Codex or Cursor conversations.

Tool Preference

Use joplin_query for questions over the local wiki/ and raw/ corpus.
Use joplin_brainstorm for exploratory thinking that should become a brainstorming pending capture.
Use joplin_show_capture to inspect a pending capture without changing files.
Use joplin_confirm_capture to turn a pending capture into a formal note under brainstorming/chat/ or artifacts/<project>/.
Use joplin_suggest_archive_project before project artifact archival.
Use joplin_archive_project only after the user confirms the project name.
Use joplin_sync_sources for existing sqlite-sync modes.
Use joplin_sync_workflow_notes when the user edited @llm-wiki/brainstorming or @llm-wiki/artifacts in Joplin and wants those workflow notes pulled back into workspace brainstorming/ or artifacts/.
Use joplin_compile_wiki for existing wiki-compile or agent-compile flows.

Capture Policy Integration

When another skill has produced reusable knowledge, apply the knowledge-capture-policy rules before deciding whether to call these MCP tools. Strong signal reusable work should normally create a pending capture draft with joplin_brainstorm. Use joplin_query only when the user asks an explicit knowledge-base question that should preserve query sources. Medium signal work should ask the user whether they want a pending capture. Low signal work should not interrupt the conversation.

If MCP tools are not available in the current session, tell the user the MCP server is not loaded and ask them to reload/restart Codex or Cursor after checking the MCP configuration. Do not silently replace this workflow with ad hoc file writes.

Query And Capture

Queries should preserve the pending capture workflow:

Answer with joplin_query or joplin_brainstorm.
If the result includes capture_draft_id, show the id and ask whether to confirm it when the user wants a formal note.
Confirm only through joplin_confirm_capture.

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.

joplin-knowledge-flow is a skill published in the GitHub repository gcake119/joplin-llm-wiki (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,216 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
