setup

An interactive setup skill for mnemo, a tool that provides persistent memory for an Obsidian vault. It creates the configuration needed to use mnemo.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when installing mnemo, changing the vault, resetting configuration, or fixing an unconfigured setup.
Why use it?
It removes the need to configure mnemo manually on first use or after changing its settings. It also handles cases where configuration is missing.

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

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 2d 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 — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

mn:setup — Interactive Onboarding

Invocation marker (both runtimes): begin your reply with the exact line 🧠 mn:setup (mnemo) → running — the user-visible confirmation that this skill actually loaded. Emit it once per invocation, before any other output.

Portable paths

Resolve <mnemo-root> once to the absolute plugin root before reading bundled files or running bundled scripts. In Claude Code, use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}; in Codex, derive it from this loaded SKILL.md path (skill directory → skills/ → plugin root). Replace <mnemo-root> with that quoted absolute path in every command — never execute the placeholder literally and never hunt versioned cache directories.

When another mnemo skill must run, use the runtime-native path: Claude Code invokes mn:<skill> through its Skill tool; Codex reads <mnemo-root>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md completely and follows it with the prepared input. For user-facing explicit syntax, render /mn:<skill> in Claude Code and $mnemo:<skill> in Codex.

First-time setup for mnemo. Creates config.json with all settings.

Workflow

Step 1: Welcome

🧠 Welcome to mnemo — persistent memory for Codex and Claude Code.

Let's set up your configuration. This takes about 30 seconds.

Step 2: Vault Name

What's your Obsidian vault name?
(The name shown in Obsidian's vault switcher)
> main

Verify vault exists:

python3 "<mnemo-root>/scripts/safe-read.py" search <<'JSON'
{"query":"test","vault":"{input}"}
JSON

If error → "Vault not found. Is Obsidian open? Check the vault name."

Step 3: Note Taxonomy

Which note taxonomy do you use?

[1] Atom/Molecule/Source/Session/MOC (Zettelkasten-inspired)
[2] PARA (Projects/Areas/Resources/Archive)
[3] Custom (you'll define prefixes and tags)

> 1

Map the selection to two adjacent config objects:

  • taxonomy defines physical note types. Each entry is { "prefix": "…", "tag": "…" }, and every prefix must end in a filename-safe separator such as , : , or -. Never allow /, #, or . in a prefix.
  • taxonomy_roles maps the stable semantic roles fact, insight, source, session, and moc to keys that exist in taxonomy. This is the only routing layer skills consume; never infer a destination from a display prefix or tag.

What ships with it

1 file 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.

Changes

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.

setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository jojoprison/mnemo (6 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 3,439 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
