Obsidian YOLO is an AI assistant integrated with Obsidian for chatting, writing, learning, and managing a knowledge base. It is for people who use Obsidian as a workspace for notes and personal knowledge. Catalogue add-ons provide related assistant capabilities.
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 | $0.00067 | $0.00530 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00265 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00106 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00053 |
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 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.
What it actually says
Obsidian CLI
Thin adapter: route to the official CLI executable and let its help command supply command details. Do not duplicate CLI docs here.
When to use
- User explicitly asks for Obsidian CLI, or needs capabilities that
fs_*/js_evaldo not cover (Obsidian semantics: backlinks, frontmatter properties, daily notes, command palette, plugin reload, link graph, tasks/tags, file history, etc.). - Otherwise prefer native tools (
bash,fs_write,fs_edit, …). Do not round-trip throughterminal_commandfor simple vault file work —bashalready covers it.
Workflow
- Resolve executable (first use in the conversation): prefer the real CLI binary over the app launcher. On macOS, first check
/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/obsidian-cli; if executable, use that absolute path for all later commands. Otherwise usecommand -v obsidian. If the resolved path is/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/obsidian, treat it as invalid because it is the app executable. - Probe: run
<resolved-cli> version. - Discover: run
<resolved-cli> helpor<resolved-cli> help <command>— CLI documents parameters; read on demand. - Execute: run
<resolved-cli> <subcommand> …. Addformat=jsonwhen you need structured output to parse.
Rules:
- Never launch the interactive TUI (do not run the resolved CLI with no subcommand).
- Do not use
/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS/obsidianas the CLI on macOS; that is the app executable, not the preferred CLI binary. - Mutating CLI commands may require user approval like any other shell command.
- Desktop only (
terminal_commandis not available on mobile).
Probe failure
If <resolved-cli> version fails (command not found or CLI error), tell the user to enable Settings → General → Command line interface, then retry. Do not guess command syntax — use <resolved-cli> help after probe succeeds.
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.

obsidian-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository Lapis0x0/obsidian-yolo (1,341 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 530 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
