A skill for managing Obsidian vaults, which are folders of Markdown notes and settings, plus Web Clipper templates for saving web content. It can work with notes, folders, links, and clipper template files.

Use it to find, read, create, edit, move, rename, or delete Obsidian notes; maintain wikilinks; identify a vault; or create and troubleshoot Web Clipper templates.

It helps keep notes organized and preserve connections between them when files are moved or renamed. It also provides a structured way to define how browser clips become notes.

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	$0.00062	$0.01180
Opus 5	$0.00031	$0.00590
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00236
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00118

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Obsidian

Use this skill for Obsidian vault work and Obsidian Web Clipper template creation. An Obsidian vault is a normal folder of Markdown files plus .obsidian/ configuration; treat it as user data and make changes conservatively.

When To Use

The user asks to find, search, read, create, edit, move, rename, or delete notes in an Obsidian vault.
The user asks to identify the active vault or resolve vault paths.
The user asks to preserve or update [[wikilinks]] while moving or renaming notes.
The user asks to create, modify, or troubleshoot an Obsidian Web Clipper JSON template.

Do not use for:

General file cleanup outside an Obsidian vault.
Notion workspace reads/writes.
Deep research, paper reading, or multi-source material organization unless the output is explicitly an Obsidian note.
Directly scraping websites into the user's vault; this skill can create a Web Clipper template, not run a clipping workflow on the user's behalf.

How To Call

Identify the task type:
- vault_operation: vault discovery, note search, note create/edit, move/rename/delete, link maintenance.
- clipper_template: Web Clipper JSON template generation, modification, or troubleshooting.
For vault operations:
- Follow references/vault-operations.md.
- Do not guess vault paths. Read Obsidian desktop config or use the user's explicit path.
- For moves, renames, deletes, bulk edits, or scripts, show the exact plan and obtain confirmation before changing files.
For Web Clipper templates:
- Follow references/web-clipper-template.md.
- Use a real sample page, DOM snapshot, HTML, or screenshot when selector/schema validation is needed.
- Output importable JSON and clearly mark verified and unverified fields.
Protect the vault:
- Avoid editing .obsidian/ unless the user explicitly asks and the change is understood.
- Prefer direct Markdown edits for content updates.
- Preserve frontmatter, existing headings, backlinks, embeds, and attachments unless the user asks to change them.
- Never delete or move notes, attachments, canvases, or config files without explicit confirmation.

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.
