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 | $0.00055 | $0.01476 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00738 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00295 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00148 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-canvas-creator 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to obsidian-canvas-creator — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Obsidian Canvas Creator
Transform text content into structured Obsidian Canvas files with support for MindMap and freeform layouts.
When to Use This Skill
- User requests to create a canvas, mind map, or visual diagram from text
- User wants to organize information spatially
- User mentions "Obsidian Canvas" or similar visualization tools
- Converting structured content (articles, notes, outlines) into visual format
Core Workflow
1. Analyze Content
Read and understand the input content:
- Identify main topics and hierarchical relationships
- Extract key points, facts, and supporting details
- Note any existing structure (headings, lists, sections)
2. Determine Layout Type
Ask user to choose or infer from context:
MindMap Layout:
- Radial structure from center
- Parent-child relationships
- Clear hierarchy
- Good for: brainstorming, topic exploration, hierarchical content
Freeform Layout:
- Custom positioning
- Flexible relationships
- Multiple connection types
- Good for: complex networks, non-hierarchical content, custom arrangements
3. Plan Structure
For MindMap:
- Identify central concept (root node)
- Map primary branches (main topics)
- Organize secondary branches (subtopics)
- Position leaf nodes (details)
For Freeform:
- Group related concepts
- Identify connection patterns
- Plan spatial zones
- Consider visual flow
4. Generate Canvas
Create JSON following the Canvas specification:
Node Creation:
- Assign unique 8-12 character hex IDs
- Set appropriate dimensions based on content length
- Apply consistent color schemes
- Ensure no coordinate overlaps
Edge Creation:
- Connect parent-child relationships
- Use appropriate arrow styles
- Add labels for complex relationships
- Choose line styles (straight for hierarchy, curved for cross-references)
Grouping (Optional):
- Create visual containers for related nodes
- Use subtle background colors
- Add descriptive labels
5. Apply Layout Algorithm

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.
