Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00051 | $0.06552 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.02621 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.01310 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00655 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-cli 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,474 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian CLI Skill
The official Obsidian command-line interface allows you to interact with your vault from the terminal — reading notes, searching, managing properties, handling tasks, and more.
Prerequisites
Verify the CLI is installed and running:
obsidian --version
obsidian help
Requirements:
- Obsidian v1.12+ (released late 2024)
- Catalyst license or higher (Obsidian Sync, Publish, or community support)
- Obsidian must be running — the CLI communicates via IPC with a live instance
- macOS, Windows, or Linux support
If not installed, download the latest Obsidian installer from https://obsidian.md/download
Key Concepts
IPC-Based Communication
The obsidian-cli works by connecting to a running Obsidian instance via inter-process communication (IPC). It does not manipulate files directly; all commands are executed through Obsidian's API, ensuring proper handling of plugins, sync, and vault structure.
File vs Path Parameters
Two ways to target files:
-
file=<name>— Resolves by name like wikilinks. Searches across folders to find the file. More flexible but slower.- Example:
obsidian read file="My Note"(finds the file regardless of folder) - Best for: Quick access when you know the filename
- Example:
-
path=<path>— Exact path from vault root. No searching, just direct access.- Example:
obsidian read path="Journal/2026-02-28.md"(exact path required) - Best for: Performance-sensitive operations, when you know the exact location
- Example:
Vault Parameter
By default, commands run against the currently active vault. Override with:
obsidian read file="Note" vault="My Vault"
Quoting & Escaping
- Spaces in values — Always quote:
name="My Note"notname=My Note - Newlines — Use
\n:content="Line 1\nLine 2" - Tabs — Use
\t:content="Column1\tColumn2"
Flags vs Parameters
- Flags — Boolean options, no value needed:
--verbose,--overwrite,--inline - Parameters — Key=value pairs:
file="Name",query="term",limit=10
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 1,474 lines · 51 tokens per session scan A aaae640aaf15
obsidian-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository jykim/claude-obsidian-skills (50 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 6,552 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
