audit-vault-health

audit-vault-health is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from owrede/vault-memory. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,591 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only audit of an Obsidian vault, checking its notes, links, tags, and frontmatter fields. Frontmatter is the metadata block stored at the top of a note.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review vault statistics, find broken wikilinks, detect tag spelling differences, and identify metadata fields used with conflicting value types.
Why use it?
It reveals broken links and inconsistent metadata before they cause problems in searches, migrations, or other vault work.

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

audit-vault-health 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.

/audit-vault-health — Vault Health Audit

A read-only diagnostic that produces a structured report on five dimensions of vault hygiene. Useful before major migrations, on a quarterly cadence, or when something feels "off" but isn't pinpointable.

When to invoke

  • User runs /audit-vault-health (primary trigger)
  • User says "audit my vault", "check vault consistency", "vault health", "Vault-Gesundheit prüfen", "Was ist im Vault kaputt?"
  • After a bulk import or migration, before relying on vault-memory search

Requirements

  • mcp__vault-memory__* tools available in the session
  • At least one vault registered

What the audit reports

The audit produces five sections, each derived from one or two MCP tool calls. Every finding is presented with a count and the top 3-5 examples so the user can decide whether to act.

1. Overview (from vault_stats)

  • Vault name, path, total notes, total words, embedding model
  • Last index run timestamp + "freshness" classification:
    • Fresh: indexed_at within last 24h
    • Stale: 1–7 days
    • Cold: >7 days (recommend vault-memory index or trigger a save)
  • Top 5 tags + count
  • Top 10 frontmatter keys + count (used as schema reference in section 5)

2. Broken wikilinks (from find_broken_links)

  • Total broken count
  • Top 5 broken targets (paths) with backlink count for each (indicating impact)
  • Categorize:
    • Likely typos — broken target has a near-match in the vault (Levenshtein distance ≤ 2). Show the suggested fix.
    • Likely deletions — broken target has no near-match; the target was probably moved/deleted.
    • Possibly new — broken target looks like a forward-reference (e.g., a TODO note that hasn't been created yet).

3. Tag drift (from vault_stats.top_tags + custom)

Surfaces tags that are semantically the same but written differently. Heuristic: normalize each top-tag via:

norm(t) = t.toLowerCase().replace(/^#/, "").replace(/[-_\s]/g, "")

Group tags by their normalized form. Any group with >1 distinct raw form is a drift candidate.

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.
