In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or edit notes in an Obsidian vault, build knowledge-base articles, and format source material with headings, links, lists, tables, and metadata.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of turning unstructured source material into usable notes. It favours standard Markdown so notes remain readable on GitHub and elsewhere.

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

vault-scribe 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 10d 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.

Vault Scribe — Obsidian + GitHub Markdown Skill

Creates and edits Markdown that is GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) first, with optional Obsidian-specific extensions when needed. Standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge.

Default rule: Use standard GFM syntax unless the user explicitly requests Obsidian-specific features or is working in an Obsidian-only context. Obsidian wikilinks ([[Note]]) break on GitHub — always prefer standard Markdown links for cross-platform compatibility.

When invoked with an argument (e.g. /vault-scribe meeting), use $ARGUMENTS to determine the note type. If no argument is provided, infer the type from the source material or ask the user.


Workflow: Creating a Note

1. Analyse the Source Material

  • Read the full transcript, notes, or brief carefully
  • Identify the core topic, intended audience, and key concepts
  • Note any implicit structure (e.g., problem → solution → examples)
  • Extract any explicit examples, warnings, tips, or quotes worth preserving

2. Generate YAML Front Matter

Reference: See references/FRONT-MATTER.md for the complete schema definitions, all enum values, and type-specific required fields.

First, determine the note type based on what the user is creating:

If the user wants… Set type to
A guide, reference doc, or knowledge article article
A step-by-step instructional guide or procedure how-to
Architecture docs, RFCs, design docs, system specs technical
An investigation with multiple sources deep-research
A versioned plan or strategy document strategy
Meeting notes, 1:1s, standups, retrospectives meeting
Brainstorming, ideation, or exploratory thinking (solo or group) brainstorming

[!TIP] Brainstorming is its own note type. It works for group sessions (add attendees and meeting_date) and solo AI ideation (omit them). Add sources when the brainstorm draws on external references.
