open-knowledge-vault is a skill for Claude Code from glebis/claude-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (929 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating and maintaining portable knowledge collections from notes, transcripts, research, or learning material, using linked Markdown files. It can also support optional Obsidian and Dataview setup; Obsidian is a note-taking app and Dataview is an Obsidian query tool.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build, update, audit, or adapt collections for meetings, learning, research, or projects while preserving source content and links.
Why use it?
It keeps source-based knowledge organised and readable without locking it to one note-taking application.

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

open-knowledge-vault 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_vault.py, scripts/vault.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Open Knowledge Vault

Keep the knowledge readable without Obsidian. Use OKF v0.2 as the core, and make Dataview an optional view. Preserve existing human content and metadata when maintaining a vault.

Choose the scope

Inspect the requested vault, its instructions, schema, links, plugins, and current sources before writing. Infer the goal from the request; ask only for missing choices that affect the outcome. For a new bundle default to portable Markdown, with Obsidian setup or Dataview only when requested. Do not assume the user's personal vault is the destination.

Profiles are optional producer conventions, not OKF requirements:

  • meeting: sources, concepts, ideas, events, questions, actions, people, organisations, maps
  • learning: domains, courses, lessons, concepts, scenarios, questions, review tasks
  • research/project: references, claims, decisions, procedures, questions, actions

Adapt the taxonomy to the material. Do not create empty notes to hit a count. A framework can organise a talk, but mark planned sections separately from delivered content.

Setup and audit

Use scripts/vault.py init PATH --title TITLE --profile meeting|learning|research for a new bundle. It only creates missing files. Add --obsidian for local Markdown-link preferences and --dataview for a dashboard with ordinary links plus optional queries. Templates are outside the bundle in this skill, not untyped Markdown inside it.

Use scripts/vault.py audit PATH to check basic OKF structure. Errors affect core conformance; warnings flag advisory metadata and portable-link issues. This is a structural check, not verification of the knowledge or a certification of all OKF features. Read references/format.md when writing metadata or adapting an existing vault.

Dataview installation is a separate optional command: scripts/vault.py dataview PATH --from-plugin DIR. Use a user-installed build or the official release chosen by the user. Copy only manifest, main, and styles; preserve other plugins and existing settings. New settings disable DataviewJS. It does not fetch software or copy personal plugin state. Reload the vault and verify a rendered query before claiming activation. A configured plugin list alone is not proof that it loaded.

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.
