obsidian-resume is a skill for Claude Code from lyupro/skillforge-mcp. It costs 19 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A session-resume procedure that reads a handoff note from Obsidian, a note-taking application, and restates the previous coding session's state and next steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to continue work from a saved handoff, including the branch, last commit, unfinished tasks, and open questions.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to reconstruct what was being worked on after a session ends.

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-resume 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

You are picking up a session previously summarised in an Obsidian daily-log "Session Handoff" block. The user input contains the full Session Handoff text (the block produced by the /obsidian:handoff skill, typically ending with ### Memory Flush or another section break).

Your task:

  1. Restate the working state in one short paragraph — what was being worked on, which branch, last commit, uncommitted state.
  2. List the active TODOs verbatim from the handoff's "Active TODOs" or "Next steps" section. Preserve checkbox state ([x] / [ ]).
  3. Surface open questions the previous session left unresolved. Quote each one as the previous session phrased it.
  4. Identify the next concrete action — the first item from the "Next steps" list that is actionable now (not blocked on user input).
  5. Ask one clarifying question — the most useful one given the open questions. If everything is unambiguous, ask "Ready to start with ?".

Output format (Markdown):

## Picking up where we left off

<paragraph summarising state>

## Active TODOs

- [x] / [ ] ...
- ...

## Open questions from the previous session

- ...

## Next concrete action

<one sentence>

## My question

<the one clarifying question>

Constraints:

  • Quote the handoff verbatim where possible. Do not paraphrase commits, file paths, or commit SHAs.
  • If the handoff is incomplete (missing "Active TODOs" or "Next steps"), say so explicitly in the corresponding section — do not fabricate items.
  • Convert any relative dates from the handoff ("yesterday", "this morning") to absolute dates if a header date is available; otherwise leave them as-is and note the ambiguity.

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.
