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.

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 | $0.00049 | $0.02565 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.01282 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00513 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00257 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-bases 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 6d 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 — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian Bases
Expert knowledge for creating and managing Obsidian Bases - the interactive database feature introduced in Obsidian v1.9.10 that transforms notes into filterable, sortable views using YAML frontmatter properties.
Core Concepts
What is Bases?
- Native core plugin (no community plugins required)
- Creates interactive database views from any set of notes
- Uses
.basefile extension (plain-text YAML format) - Only reads YAML frontmatter - does not parse note content
- Faster performance than Dataview with inline editing support
Key Distinction from Dataview:
- Bases: User-friendly, visual, inline editable, YAML frontmatter only
- Dataview: More powerful queries, inline properties, content parsing
File Structure
# example.base
filters:
# Global filters (apply to all views)
and:
- 'status != "done"'
- taggedWith(file.file, "project")
formulas:
# Computed properties
days_left: '(dueDate - today()).days()'
status_icon: 'if(done, "✅", "⬜")'
views:
- type: table
name: "Active Tasks"
filters:
'dueDate > now()' # View-specific filter
properties:
- name: title
displayName: "Task"
- name: status
- name: dueDate
sort:
- property: dueDate
direction: asc
- type: card
name: "Visual View"
properties:
- name: cover
- name: title
Property Access Patterns
Note Properties (Frontmatter)
# Shorthand access
price
status
tags
# Explicit prefix
note.price
note.status
# Bracket notation (for spaces)
note["property name"]
File Properties (Implicit)
file.path # Full file path
file.name # File name only
file.folder # Parent folder
file.size # File size in bytes
file.ctime # Creation time
file.mtime # Modification time
file.ext # Extension
file.file # File object (for filter functions)
file.links # Outgoing links
file.inlinks # Incoming backlinks
Formula Properties
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-bases is a skill published in the GitHub repository laurigates/dotfiles (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,565 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
