visualize

A visualization skill for creating Obsidian graph settings and Canvas knowledge maps from a research wiki. Obsidian is a note-taking app that can display linked notes as graphs and canvases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate graph color settings or maps filtered by node types, relationship types, focus nodes, or graph depth.
Why use it?
It turns connected wiki entries into visual maps, making relationships and focused areas easier to explore.

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

visualize 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 269 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/visualize

Generate visualization artifacts for the OmegaWiki knowledge graph. Produces Obsidian graph config (color groups by entity type) and curated Canvas views with labeled typed edges. For interactive web exploration use the SPA Graph view (tools/serve.py, then #/graph).

Inputs

  • --obsidian (optional): Generate/update .obsidian/graph.json with entity-type color groups
  • --canvas (optional): Generate Obsidian Canvas (.canvas) from graph data with labeled edges
  • --focus <node_id> (optional): Center canvas on a specific node (e.g., methods/my-method)
  • --depth N (optional): BFS depth for focused canvas (default: 2)
  • --types <list> (optional): Filter nodes to these page types, comma-separated (e.g., papers,concepts)
  • --edge-types <list> (optional): Filter edges to these semantic types, comma-separated (e.g., builds_on,challenges)
  • --all (optional, default if no flags): Generate all visualization artifacts

Outputs

  • wiki/.obsidian/graph.json — Obsidian graph color configuration (per-entity-type color groups)
  • wiki/.obsidian/app.json — Obsidian app settings (only if not exists)
  • wiki/canvases/knowledge-map.canvas — Full knowledge map Canvas with labeled edges
  • wiki/canvases/idea-evidence.canvas — Idea-centric subgraph Canvas
  • wiki/canvases/focus-{node-id}.canvas — Focused Canvas (when --focus is used)
  • Console output: Obsidian plugin recommendations and setup instructions

The standalone-HTML explorer (wiki/graph-view.html) was retired; the SPA Graph view at app/modules/graph.js (served by tools/serve.py) covers the same use case and lives in the same codebase as the rest of the frontend.

Wiki Interaction

Reads

  • wiki/graph/edges.jsonl — typed semantic edges
  • wiki/graph/citations.jsonl — bibliographic paper citations
  • wiki/*/ — all entity directories for page metadata (frontmatter)
  • config/visualize.json — color palette and visualization preferences

Writes

  • wiki/.obsidian/graph.json — CREATE/OVERWRITE (local-only artifact, gitignored; regenerated each run from config/visualize.json)
  • wiki/.obsidian/app.json — CREATE only (never overwrite user customizations; gitignored)
  • wiki/canvases/*.canvas — CREATE/OVERWRITE (local-only artifact, gitignored)

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.

visualize is a skill published in the GitHub repository skyllwt/AutoSci (1,659 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,966 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
