note-promotion

note-promotion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from r007b34r/opencode-obsidian-knowledge-workflow. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,218 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for deciding whether rough material should become a stable, reusable note in Obsidian, an app for linked personal notes. It evaluates whether the material is stable, useful again, and able to stand on its own.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding whether to upgrade research or synthesis material into a formal Obsidian note, choosing its note type, planning at least two links, and preparing it for writing after confirmation.
Why use it?
It prevents every draft or inbox item from becoming a permanent note. It also requires planning where a promoted note will link into the existing knowledge base.

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

note-promotion 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (validators/post-check.sh, validators/pre-check.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

note-promotion

Constraints

  • NEVER promote everything; require stability + reuse + independence
  • NEVER polish before deciding; score first, format only if promoting
  • NEVER create notes without integration targets (minimum 2 links)
  • NEVER write without user confirmation
  • NEVER overwrite source voice; preserve strong original phrasing

Trigger Boundary

Use when: upgrade material into formal note, decide if finding is worth preserving, turn synthesis output into stable note, create linkable knowledge unit, user says "promote" or "stabilize."

Do NOT use for:

  • First-pass inbox routing -> inbox-triage
  • Note relationship discovery -> connection-review
  • Week-level meaning extraction -> weekly-synthesis
  • Vault system health diagnosis -> vault-health-feedback

Boundaries

  • Owns: promotion decision, note type selection, integration planning, write execution
  • Delegates to: connection-review (new note needs integration links), inbox-triage (material too raw)
  • Never absorbs: inbox routing, relationship analysis, synthesis, health diagnosis

Continuations

Condition Next skill
New promoted note needs integration links connection-review
Material fails promotion test, return to inbox inbox-triage
Promotion decision is ambiguous after scoring Escalate to human

Companion Skill

All vault operations follow obsidian-mcp. Forbidden: obsidian_patch_note, obsidian_append_to_note. Verify every write through readback.

Procedure

Phase 1: Score

When scoring, read references/examples.md for promotion calibration.

Apply promotion test (>=3/5 to promote):

Criterion Score Evidence required
Stable (not transient fragment) 0/1 Has persisted or been referenced again
Reusable (future value) 0/1 Applicable beyond original context
Independent (standalone) 0/1 Understandable without source capture
Connectable (links exist) 0/1 Can link to existing theme/project/question
Compression benefit 0/1 Clearer or more retrievable than source

What ships with it

6 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.

Changes

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.
