rf-obsidian-markdown

rf-obsidian-markdown is a skill for Claude Code from RipeMangoBox/BITE. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing convention for Obsidian Markdown, the note format used by the Obsidian app. It defines how links, metadata, embedded files, callouts, tables, and images should be written in a local vault.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or editing Markdown files for research analyses, indexes, ideas, wiki pages, and other Obsidian vault content.
Why use it?
It prevents generated notes from rendering incorrectly or losing useful links and navigation in Obsidian. It gives different tools a consistent format for shared 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

rf-obsidian-markdown 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 6d 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 — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Obsidian Markdown — BITE Convention

All .md files generated by BITE skills must follow Obsidian Flavored Markdown. This skill covers only Obsidian-specific extensions; standard Markdown (headings, bold, italic, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables) is assumed knowledge. It governs local/generated Markdown output only; it does not define canonical research data.

Core Rules

  1. Internal links — use [[wikilinks]] for anything inside the vault. Reserve [text](url) for external URLs only.
  2. No raw HTML — Obsidian renders Markdown; HTML tags break reading view and graph indexing.
  3. Frontmatter — every note starts with valid YAML between --- fences.
  4. Embeds — use ![[path]] for PDFs, images, and note transclusions.
  5. Callouts — use > [!type] syntax for highlighted blocks.
  6. Tables — never put aliased wikilinks such as [[full/path|abbr]] in Markdown table cells. The pipe breaks table parsing; use plain display text in the cell and place full wikilinks in surrounding prose or frontmatter.
  7. Image captions — escape Obsidian reserved < characters in figure/table captions as \<, for example \<MASK> or \< 0.05.

[[Note Name]]                          Link to note
[[Note Name|Display Text]]             Custom display text
[[Note Name#Heading]]                  Link to heading
[[Note Name#^block-id]]                Link to block
[[#Heading in same note]]              Same-note heading link

When linking to obsidian-vault/analysis notes from other notes, use the full relative path: [[analysis/Category/Venue_Year/Year_Title|Display Title]]

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.
