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 | $0.00058 | $0.02231 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.01115 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00446 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00223 |
Grade A, and why
kioku-vault 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 11d 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Kioku vault skill
Kioku reads, searches, and writes an Obsidian vault directly on disk. It works with Obsidian closed. The optional bridge matters only for Obsidian UI actions and plugin integrations.
Treat live MCP discovery as the runtime contract. For exact parameters, inspect the tool description or docs/commands-reference.md; do not infer schemas from examples or from the installed SDK version.
Discover the active contract first
- Use MCP
tools/list, prompts/resources discovery, orget_server_capabilitiesinstead of assuming every optional group is exposed. - The generated
developcontract contains 45 default tools and 78 tools with every capability group enabled. - Enabled by default:
tasks,organization,sessions,workflows,graph, andengineering. - Disabled by default:
research,generation,css,assets,bridge,plugin, andcoordination. - An absent
capabilitiesblock preserves those defaults; it does not enable every optional group. - With
capabilities.require_explicit: true, only explicitly enabled optional groups are registered. - A capability mismatch is normally configuration or connection scope, not evidence that note content is corrupt.
Tool groups
- Query:
find_similar_notes,get_links,list_notes,read_note,search_notes. - Focused note creation:
create_regular_note,create_zettel,create_literature_note,create_moc,create_folder_readme. - Mutation:
delete_note,edit_note,manage_trash,move_note,update_frontmatter. - Tasks:
list_tasks,set_task_state. - Organization:
audit_vault,find_duplicate_notes,manage_tags,process_inbox,suggest_folder,suggest_tags. - Sessions:
end_work_session,get_work_context,list_work_sessions,start_work_session. - Engineering:
add_backlog_item,create_engineering_spec,create_implementation_plan,get_project_context,list_projects,record_adr,record_bug,save_project_knowledge,setup_agent_workflow. - Templates and graph:
manage_templates,get_concept_map,get_vault_snapshot,suggest_links. - Coordination: work items, transitions, claims, leases, history, handoffs, blockers, stale work, failed attempts, and conflicts.
- Optional integrations: research, local generation, CSS, assets, plugin bridge, and Obsidian UI tools.
- Utilities:
get_server_capabilities,get_server_status,rebuild_index.
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.

kioku-vault is a skill published in the GitHub repository sandovaldavid/kioku (0 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 2,231 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
pkm-explore
Use when researching what the vault knows about a topic — performs graph + semantic exploration with gap analysis to map existing knowledge and find missing connections. Primarily used via the vault-explorer agent. Not for routine session-start context loading (hooks handle that).
owd-obsidian-mind
Connect, initialize, resume, or coordinate an Obsidian Mind vault with MDevolved while preserving its local qmd/om MCP runtime, native note layout, scoped memories, private-note rules, and multi-agent writer safety. Use when a vault-manifest.json identifies template obsidian-mind, when adding MDevolved beside Obsidian…
wiki-retrieve
Build and query a vault-local contextual BM25 retrieval index with optional multilingual Nomic cosine reranking; use for retrieve, hybrid retrieval, BM25, rerank, contextual retrieval, chunk search, vault search, semantic search, find relevant passages, or retrieval diagnostics. Derived caches stay under .vault-meta…
wiki-status
Show the current state of the wiki — what's been ingested, what's pending, and the delta between sources and wiki content. Use this skill when the user asks "what's the status", "how much is ingested", "what's left to process", "show me the delta", "what changed since last ingest", "wiki dashboard", or wants an…
build-with-tinybase
Scaffold, extend, and verify reactive local-first JavaScript or TypeScript applications with TinyBase. Use when choosing TinyBase for in-memory tabular or key-value state, generating an app with create-tinybase, adding schemas or UI bindings, configuring browser or database persistence, configuring MergeableStore…
hermes-history-ingest
Ingest Hermes agent history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine their past Hermes sessions for knowledge, import their /.hermes folder, extract insights from previous Hermes conversations, or says things like "process my Hermes history", "add my Hermes memories to the wiki", "ingest…
