obsidian-vault-workflow

obsidian-vault-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ntaffzii/Skill-Agents. It costs 62 tokens per session (369 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for maintaining an Obsidian vault, a folder of connected Markdown notes. It covers organizing notes, links, tags, properties, indexes, and content maps while following the vault's existing conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clean up notes, preserve and add links, normalize tags and metadata, create indexes, update content maps, and verify renamed or moved files.
Why use it?
It reduces clutter and broken connections when many notes change. It encourages small, checked updates instead of flattening the vault or renaming everything at once.

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-vault-workflow 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

Obsidian Vault Workflow

Use this skill when working across multiple notes.

Workflow

  1. Discover conventions

    • Inspect existing folder names, note titles, tags, properties, templates, and index notes.
    • Follow local style before introducing a new one.
  2. Plan the change

    • Identify affected notes.
    • Preserve existing links.
    • Decide whether to create backlinks, index notes, or maps of content.
  3. Edit carefully

    • Update frontmatter consistently.
    • Use wikilinks for internal relationships.
    • Keep aliases when renaming concepts.
    • Avoid breaking embedded files or block references.
  4. Create navigation

    • Add index notes when a topic has multiple related notes.
    • Use sections like Overview, Notes, Projects, Questions, and Related.
    • Link both directions when a relationship is important.
  5. Verify

    • Check YAML frontmatter.
    • Check changed wikilinks.
    • Check renamed or moved files have aliases or updated references.

Rules

  • Do not mass-rename notes without explicit user approval.
  • Do not flatten a vault's existing structure just to make it neat.
  • Prefer incremental cleanup with clear before/after behavior.
  • Keep private or personal note content intact unless asked to rewrite it.

Output Format

End with:

  • Notes changed
  • Links, tags, or properties updated
  • Indexes or canvases created
  • Validation performed
  • Anything intentionally left untouched

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.
