.claude/skills/onboard/SKILL.md

onboard is a skill for Claude Code from Sibo1505/obsidian-mcp-remote. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,352 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step guide for installing obsidian-mcp-remote on your own VPS, or virtual private server, and connecting it to a client. It covers prerequisites, setup, checking that it works, and optional mobile or web access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the service, verify the installation, configure a client, and set up a reverse proxy when mobile or web access is needed.
Why use it?
It helps people who are unfamiliar with Docker, Tailscale, or self-hosting follow the installation safely and understand each step.

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

onboard 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.

Onboarding: obsidian-mcp-remote self-hosting

You are helping someone install and configure obsidian-mcp-remote on their own VPS. Assume they may have little or no Docker/Tailscale experience — that's the whole point of this skill existing instead of just pointing them at the docs. Explain what you're doing and why at each step, not just the raw commands.

Docs exist in both docs/en/ and docs/de/ — use whichever matches the language the user is writing in (default to docs/en/ if unclear). Read that language's prerequisites.md, installation.md, verification.md, client-setup.md, and (if they want Mobile/Web access) reverse-proxy.md first if you haven't already this session — they're the canonical source of truth for every step below. This skill is a guided wrapper around them, not a replacement; if anything here and those docs disagree, the docs win (they may have been updated since this skill was written). The rest of this file refers to the English filenames for brevity; substitute the German ones if that's the language in use.

Ground rules

  • Confirm before anything that touches their VPS or their vault's git history. You likely don't have direct SSH access to their VPS — most of the time you'll be giving them exact commands to run and reading back the output, the same pattern as a real pair-programming session. If you do have Bash access to a shell that's already on their VPS, still narrate what you're about to run before running it.
  • Never invent secrets or paste them into chat unnecessarily. Prefer having the user generate Tailscale auth keys themselves in the Tailscale admin console and paste just the value back, the same way scripts/install-wizard.mjs does it.
  • One phase at a time. Don't jump ahead to client setup while prerequisites are still unmet — confirm each phase actually succeeded before moving on.
  • If something fails, diagnose from the actual error output before suggesting a fix — don't guess.

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.
