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 | $0.00119 | $0.00867 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00060 | $0.00434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00087 |
Grade A, and why
zotero-obsidian-codex-setup 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 89 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Zotero Obsidian Codex Setup
Initialize this cloned repository on Windows so the repo root works as the Obsidian vault root and Research vault/ works as the daily Codex literature workspace.
Prefer the bundled setup script over hand-editing data.json.
The setup flow has two scripts:
scripts/check_windows_setup.py: non-mutating readiness checkscripts/apply_windows_setup.py: apply the repo-standard vault configuration
Workflow
- Confirm you are at the repository root.
- Expect
.obsidian/andResearch vault/to exist side by side. - Keep the internal directory name
Research vault/unchanged.
- Expect
- Verify prerequisites with non-mutating checks first.
- Confirm
Obsidian - Confirm
Zotero - Confirm
Better BibTeX for Zotero - Confirm Obsidian plugins
DataviewandZotero Integration
- Confirm
- Run the readiness check first:
python .agents/skills/zotero-obsidian-codex-setup/scripts/check_windows_setup.py
- If the user wants the template initialized, run:
python .agents/skills/zotero-obsidian-codex-setup/scripts/apply_windows_setup.py
- If the user wants a different BibTeX filename, pass it explicitly:
python .agents/skills/zotero-obsidian-codex-setup/scripts/apply_windows_setup.py --bib-name my-library.bib
- If the user only wants to preview changes, use:
python .agents/skills/zotero-obsidian-codex-setup/scripts/apply_windows_setup.py --dry-run
- After setup completes:
- Tell the user to reopen or reload Obsidian if needed.
- Switch the working directory to
Research vault/. - For daily literature work, rely on the nested
AGENTS.mdand$literature-processor.
Expected Check Output
The readiness check should clearly report:
- whether the repo shape is correct
- whether
ObsidianandZoteroare discoverable on Windows - whether Better BibTeX appears to be installed in Zotero
- whether the vault already lists
DataviewandZotero Integration - whether the repo-standard Zotero Integration
data.jsonalready exists - the exact next action when something is missing
What ships with it
4 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.
