Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is heyitsnoah/claudesidian's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on claudesidian itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything claudesidian configures →

About the project

Claudesidian is a preconfigured Obsidian vault structure that lets Claude Code help manage a personal knowledge base as a thinking partner. It is for people who organize notes and other knowledge in Obsidian, with Git-based version control and optional integrations for image analysis and web research. The catalogue add-ons provide Claude Code skills, agents, hooks, and settings for working with this vault.

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

json-canvas 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 9d 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.

JSON Canvas Skill

This skill enables skills-compatible agents to create and edit valid JSON Canvas files (.canvas) used in Obsidian and other applications.

Overview

JSON Canvas is an open file format for infinite canvas data. Canvas files use the .canvas extension and contain valid JSON following the JSON Canvas Spec 1.0.

File Structure

A canvas file contains two top-level arrays:

{
  "nodes": [],
  "edges": []
}
  • nodes (optional): Array of node objects
  • edges (optional): Array of edge objects connecting nodes

Nodes

Nodes are objects placed on the canvas. There are four node types:

  • text - Text content with Markdown
  • file - Reference to files/attachments
  • link - External URL
  • group - Visual container for other nodes

Z-Index Ordering

Nodes are ordered by z-index in the array:

  • First node = bottom layer (displayed below others)
  • Last node = top layer (displayed above others)

Generic Node Attributes

All nodes share these attributes:

Attribute Required Type Description
id Yes string Unique identifier for the node
type Yes string Node type: text, file, link, or group
x Yes integer X position in pixels
y Yes integer Y position in pixels
width Yes integer Width in pixels
height Yes integer Height in pixels
color No canvasColor Node color (see Color section)

Text Nodes

Text nodes contain Markdown content.

{
  "id": "6f0ad84f44ce9c17",
  "type": "text",
  "x": 0,
  "y": 0,
  "width": 400,
  "height": 200,
  "text": "# Hello World\n\nThis is **Markdown** content."
}
Attribute Required Type Description
text Yes string Plain text with Markdown syntax

File Nodes

File nodes reference files or attachments (images, videos, PDFs, notes, etc.).
