A setup and onboarding skill for the BenAI Obsidian Plugin. Obsidian is a note-taking app that stores notes in a local folder called a vault; this skill creates that vault structure, configuration, memory files, hooks, and output styles, then asks questions to personalize it.

Bootstrapping a BenAI Obsidian vault, choosing a personal or team setup, checking whether it already exists, and running or repeating onboarding.

It removes the manual work of creating the plugin's folders and files and provides a guided way to configure a new or existing vault.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00088	$0.10033
Opus 5.5	$0.00035	$0.04013

Security

Grade B, and why

os-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 746 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BenAI Obsidian Plugin — Setup + Onboarding

USE WHEN the user runs /setup or asks to set up their vault, bootstrap the assistant, initialize the system, or configure the BenAI Obsidian Plugin.

This is a three-phase process:

Phase 0: Mode Selection — Ask which OS variant to create
Phase A: Bootstrap — Create the directory structure and system files for the selected mode
Phase B: Onboarding — Interview the user and personalize everything

Pre-flight Check

Check if claude.md or CLAUDE.md exists only in the current working directory (do NOT search subdirectories or parent directories — check only the exact CWD path).

If it exists: The vault is already set up. Ask the user:
- "This vault is already set up. Would you like to:"
- Re-run the interview — Keep existing structure, update memory files based on new answers
- Full reset — Delete everything and start fresh (confirm twice before proceeding)
- Cancel — Do nothing
If it does NOT exist: Proceed with full setup (Phase 0 + Phase A + Phase B)

Phase 0: Mode Selection

Ask the user to pick a mode using AskUserQuestion with these exact label and description values:

Question: What type of vault do you want?
Option 1 label: Solopreneurs/Professionals — description: Blends work and personal. Best for solo founders, freelancers, consultants.
Option 2 label: Business/Teams — description: Org structure with departments, processes, stakeholders. Best for teams and companies.

CRITICAL: You MUST pass both label AND description for each option in AskUserQuestion. The description field is what explains each mode to the user. Never leave description empty.

Mode mapping:

Solopreneurs/Professionals → os-mode: professional
Business/Teams → os-mode: business

Accept any clear signal: "solo", "professional", "freelancer", "business", "org", "team", etc.

If the user skips or says "I don't know", use Solopreneurs/Professionals (professional mode).

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.

Generate a HANDOFF.md that captures goal, current state, files touched, failed attempts, and next steps — so a fresh Claude session can continue exactly where this one left off. Use when sessions are getting long, Claude keeps retrying the same broken solution, or the user wants to step away and resume later.
