Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00102 | $0.01808 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00904 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
obsidian-cli 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Obsidian CLI
Use the obsidian CLI to interact with a running Obsidian instance. Requires Obsidian to be open.
Mindset
The CLI is a thin bridge between the shell and a live Obsidian process — it sends commands to the running app rather than manipulating files directly. This means Obsidian's own logic (link resolution, template expansion, plugin hooks) runs as normal, making CLI operations safer and more consistent than direct file writes.
When to apply: Reading, creating, or searching notes from an agent workflow; interacting with daily notes or tasks programmatically; or developing and debugging Obsidian plugins from the command line. When NOT to apply: Obsidian is not open, the vault is remote or network-mounted, or the operation requires browser-level interaction not exposed by the CLI.
Command reference
Run obsidian help to see all available commands. This is always up to date. Full docs: help.obsidian.md/cli
Syntax
Parameters take a value with =. Quote values with spaces:
obsidian create name="My Note" content="Hello world"
Flags are boolean switches with no value:
obsidian create name="My Note" silent overwrite
For multiline content use \n for newline and \t for tab.
File targeting
Many commands accept file or path to target a file. Without either, the active file is used.
file=<name>— resolves like a wikilink (name only, no path or extension needed)path=<path>— exact path from vault root, e.g.folder/note.md
Vault targeting
Commands target the most recently focused vault by default. Use vault=<name> as the first parameter to target a specific vault:
obsidian vault="My Vault" search query="test"
Common patterns
obsidian read file="My Note"
obsidian create name="New Note" content="# Hello" template="Template" silent
obsidian append file="My Note" content="New line"
obsidian search query="search term" limit=10
obsidian daily:read
obsidian daily:append content="- [ ] New task"
obsidian property:set name="status" value="done" file="My Note"
obsidian tasks daily todo
obsidian tags sort=count counts
obsidian backlinks file="My Note"
What ships with it
8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 9d ago First seen · 190 lines · 102 tokens per session scan A 6282527d1e65
obsidian-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository pantheon-org/tekhne (10 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,808 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other skills, from other repositories
obsidian-bases
Create and edit Obsidian Bases (.base files) with views, filters, formulas, and summaries. Use when working with .base files, creating database-like views of notes, or when the user mentions Bases, table views, card views, filters, or formulas in Obsidian.
find-journalists
Build, refine, dedupe, and enrich small fit-checked journalist lists for newsjack campaigns. Uses the newsjack CLI (preferred) or the medialyst MCP for news search and journalist enrichment, and falls back to a best-effort local mode with no verified contacts; the agent owns how returned data is organized.
agent-estate
Perpetual autonomous work loop for Claude Code — no end condition, no memory regression, no context overfill. Maintains a persistent ledger across all sessions.
story-origin-check
Recover the first public timestamp and canonical major coverage for a newsjacking signal, then decide whether newer coverage is the same story, a different story, or a materially new development.
prompt-proximity-architecture
Turn an approved measurement charter, ICPs, and buyer jobs into a budget-aware prompt coverage blueprint across proximity bands, aided status, information acts, journey states, roles, locales, evidence grades, partitions, and measurement lanes. Use before prompt wording to define required, optional, and prohibited…
relevance-coarse-filter
Cheap, high-recall first-pass filter that removes obvious junk from a detector candidate pool before expensive story-origin research and PR judgment. Decides keep, monitoronly, or reject — never ranks, writes angles, verifies dates, or decides whether to pitch.
