create-note

A command that copies a Markdown file into an Obsidian note library and prepares it as a note. Markdown is a plain-text format for writing structured documents, and Obsidian is an app that stores linked notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import a Markdown file, place it in the unpublished notes folder, add frontmatter and tags, and link it from the daily note.
Why use it?
It avoids manually renaming, formatting, tagging, and linking an imported note.

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

create-note 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Import a markdown file into your Obsidian library and format it as a note.

Usage

/create-note <source_markdown_path> [<target_name>]

Process

  1. Read the source markdown file
  2. Determine target filename (uses source name if not specified)
  3. Create a copy in the Obsidian unpublished folder
  4. Run format-note to add tags, set up frontmatter, and link from daily note

File Naming

  • Spaces replaced with hyphens, special characters removed, lowercase
  • Date prefix added if duplicate exists

Vault Location

Default: $OBSIDIAN_VAULT (set via environment variable)

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.
