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-meta-bind 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.

Meta Bind — buttons, inputs, view fields

This skill covers the Meta Bind Obsidian plugin (id obsidian-meta-bind-plugin, by Moritz Jung). Authoring rules, full schemas, JS Engine integration, and the validation traps that cost hours when not known up front.

Docs root: https://www.moritzjung.dev/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin-docs/.

When to use this skill

Reach for this skill on any of:

  • User mentions Meta Bind, INPUT[...], VIEW[...], BUTTON[...], ```meta-bind-button, ```meta-bind code blocks.
  • User wants to add an interactive widget into a note (toggle, slider, button, dropdown, date picker, etc.).
  • User reports META_BIND_ERROR, [MB_BUTTON], Button ID not Found, "validation failed", "Invalid input at 'style'", or any Meta Bind error overlay.
  • User wants to bind metadata across files (file^property, memory^..., globalMemory^...).
  • User needs to wire a button to an Obsidian command, JS code, file open, metadata mutation, or templater.
  • User authors a tracker or dashboard with declarative INPUT fields tied to frontmatter.

Prerequisites

Confirm before debugging:

  1. Meta Bind plugin installed and enabled. Check .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin/manifest.json.
  2. JS Engine plugin installed and enabled if any button uses action.type: inlineJS or js. Without it, JS actions silently fail.
  3. Settings flag enableJs: true in .obsidian/plugins/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin/data.json. JS-based buttons and JS view fields don't run otherwise.
  4. excludedFolders in the same data.json: any path matching an entry is skipped by Meta Bind. Default contains templates. If a tracker file lives under Templates/, Meta Bind ignores it. Move the file or remove the exclusion.

Button schema — every field

Source: https://www.moritzjung.dev/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin-docs/guides/buttons/#button-configuration.

Field Type Required Notes
label string yes Display text on the button.
style enum yes One of default, primary, destructive, plain. Validation fails if missing or out of enum — error reads Invalid input at 'style'.
icon string no Lucide icon name.
class string no Space-separated CSS classes.
cssStyle string no Inline style rules (CSS text).
backgroundImage string no URL or vault path.
tooltip string no Hover text. Defaults to label when unset.
id string no Used for BUTTON[id] inline references in the same note.
hidden boolean no When true the code-block declaration is not rendered itself; only BUTTON[id] references render the button.
action object no* Single action; mutually exclusive with actions.
actions object[] no* Array of actions executed in sequence; mutually exclusive with action.
