meta-sync-template

meta-sync-template is a skill for Claude Code from tboome33/obsidian-mcp-router. It costs 159 tokens per session (4,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for copying plugins, snippets, and top-level documents from a reference Obsidian vault to selected other vaults. It checks which vaults are reachable and whether they have the required local API plugin before syncing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sync one reference vault to all configured vaults or to a chosen subset of them.
Why use it?
It avoids manually updating each vault and catches missing setup before the copy begins. Safety checks also help prevent copying the reference vault onto itself or exposing credentials.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/setup-vault.mjs "<vault-path>" --sync-plugins.

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

meta-sync-template 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

meta-sync-template

Interactive bulk propagation of the reference vault (typically .template) to one or more configured vaults. Conversational picker over scripts/setup-vault.mjs's --sync-all and --sync-plugins modes with up-front diagnostics (online/offline status, REST-API-plugin presence per target).

Which command runs (moved out of the frontmatter, which the Agent Skills spec caps at 1024 characters): the router config comes from the OBSIDIAN_ROUTER_CONFIG env var, defaulting to ~/.claude/obsidian-mcp-router/config.json. The all-vaults case runs npm run setup-vault -- --sync-all (the script auto-skips the reference vault and refuses to leak credentials); subsets loop scripts/setup-vault.mjs <path> --sync-plugins. Flagging a missing obsidian-local-rest-api before anything runs lets the user bootstrap that vault first rather than meet a runtime warning mid-sync.

Safety: as of obsidian-mcp-router v0.11.2+, the underlying script itself enforces every safety invariant this skill cares about — it refuses to sync the reference vault onto itself (case-insensitive on Windows / macOS), and it refuses to first-time-copy obsidian-local-rest-api into a target lacking it (the copy would clone the reference's data.json and leak the API key). The skill's role is purely UX: a friendly picker, clear pre-flight info, per-vault aggregation. The hard safety guarantees live in setup-vault.mjs (samePath() check at syncPluginsMode entry; CREDENTIAL_LEAK_PLUGINS skip in the plugin loop; case-insensitive self-skip in --sync-all). See tests/setup-vault-safety.test.mjs for the regression coverage.

What the underlying script propagates

From referenceVault to each target vault:

  • Plugin folders: .obsidian/plugins/<plugin-id>/ — full directory copy when the plugin is missing from the target, or a re-clone with --force that preserves the target's local data.json
  • Plugin enablement: community-plugins.json entries appended for newly synced plugins
  • CSS snippets: .obsidian/snippets/*.css + enabled in appearance.json (idempotent)
  • Root docs: README.md, quick-reference-*.pdf, .claude/ (preserved if already present unless --force)
  • Smart Connectionsfirst-time only: .smart-env/smart_env.json + embedding-model cache are cloned only when the target's .smart-env/ directory is entirely missing (scripts/setup-vault.mjs:853-856, passes force: false). On an already-bootstrapped target, --sync-plugins --force does NOT refresh .smart-env. To push an updated Smart Connections config to an existing target, delete the target's .smart-env/smart_env.json before re-running, or re-bootstrap the vault.

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.
