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

obsidian-heatmap 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.

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.

Obsidian heatmaps

Two complementary tools cover almost every heatmap need in Obsidian:

  1. Heatmap Calendar plugin (Richardsl) — GitHub-style year overview, one call from a dataviewjs block. Handles 365-day grid, month labels, weekday rows, today border, color gradients, click/hover. Use this first when the question is "did I do X on each day of the year".

  2. Custom DataviewJS heatmaps — anything the plugin cannot draw: weeks × 7 days for the last N weeks, rows × cols matrix (e.g. metrics × weeks), rows × N days (projects × dates), custom score functions, multi-metric tooltips, streaks. The plugin draws a year; custom DOM draws whatever shape you need.

Pick the plugin first; drop to custom only when the year frame is wrong or you need a non-calendar shape.

Decision: which heatmap

Need Tool
One year, one metric, "did I do X today" Plugin
One year, two-three metrics overlaid by color Plugin (multi-color entries)
Last N weeks (e.g. 14), GitHub-contribution shape Custom DataviewJS — weeks × 7 days
Rows × cols matrix (metrics × weeks, projects × months) Custom DataviewJS — grid
Rows × days (projects × dates with sticky row labels) Custom DataviewJS — activity grid
Cell holds an emoji / number / link, not just intensity Plugin (content field) or custom
Multiple years on one screen Two plugin blocks, one per year
"Cell is a task you can click" Custom DOM with click handlers

If the user shows a GitHub contributions screenshot — that is the last 53 weeks scrolling shape, not a calendar year. The plugin always renders Jan 1 → Dec 31 of year. For a rolling-N-weeks contribution graph use the custom pattern.

Part A — Heatmap Calendar plugin (Richardsl)

Repo: Richardsl/heatmap-calendar-obsidian. Install via Community plugins in Obsidian. Exposes a single global function on plugin load.

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.
