obsidian-llm-wiki: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/scholar-skill/en/SKILL.md

en is a skill for Claude Code from levi-qiao/obsidian-llm-wiki. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,629 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of en, MIT.

An Obsidian-based system for reading academic papers and turning their contents into organized notes and long-term knowledge. It includes language-specific packages and can set up folders such as papers, knowledge, memory, and maps of content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure an academic reading vault, process papers, extract useful knowledge, and maintain an Obsidian-based research memory system.
Why use it?
It gives paper reading a repeatable structure instead of leaving insights scattered across documents. Setup can automatically detect a vault, create the folder structure, generate configuration, and check required dependencies.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: built for openclaw.

This is levi-qiao/obsidian-llm-wiki's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on obsidian-llm-wiki 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 obsidian-llm-wiki configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/your-name/ObsidianVault.

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

en 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/configure.py, scripts/replace-placeholders.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

ScholarSkill - Academic Paper Reading and Knowledge Internalization

Description: An Obsidian-based L3-grade paper reading and memory extraction system.

Version: v1.0.0
Last Updated: 2026-03-18


Setup Guide Before First Use

Welcome to ScholarSkill! Owl mascot included.

Before reading papers, complete the setup flow below. This package supports three setup modes.

Setup Modes

Mode 1: Fully Automatic Setup (auto)
# Choose the English package first, then explicitly point to the target Obsidian vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py auto --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"

Best for: first-time users with Obsidian already installed
Automatically handles:

  • detecting the Obsidian vault location
  • creating the folder structure (1-Papers, 2-Knowledge, 3-MOCs, memory, and more)
  • generating the config file
  • checking dependency skills

Note: it is strongly recommended to always pass --vault-path so the script never selects the wrong vault and only syncs the English templates.


Mode 2: Semi-Automatic Setup (semi) - Recommended
# Run the English package setup script and explicitly provide the target vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py semi --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"

Best for: users who want to confirm each step
Flow:

  1. detect the Obsidian vault automatically, or prompt you if needed
  2. ask whether to create the folder structure
  3. check dependency skills and ask whether to install them
  4. generate the config file

Mode 3: Manual Setup (manual)
# Run the English package setup script and explicitly provide the target vault
python ~/.openclaw/workspace-scholar/skills/scholar-skill/en/scripts/configure.py manual --vault-path "/your/Obsidian/Vault"

Best for: advanced users who know exactly what they want
Flow:

  1. enter the Obsidian vault path manually
  2. skip directory creation for now
  3. only check dependencies without prompting installation
  4. generate a minimal config file

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.
