who-is-speaking is a skill for Claude Code from tboome33/obsidian-mcp-router. It costs 237 tokens per session (1,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A routing helper for shared family knowledge bases that identifies the person speaking and selects the matching vault and saving mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a shared-vault session to establish who is speaking and route later automatic saves correctly.
Why use it?
It prevents notes from being saved to the wrong family member's space when several people use the same vault setup.

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

who-is-speaking 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

who-is-speaking

Identify the family member for the current session on a shared family vault, then lock + set mode.

Examples / Exemples

Moved here from the frontmatter: the Agent Skills specification caps description at 1024 characters, and worked examples are activation-time guidance, not discovery-time metadata — the body is where they belong under progressive disclosure.

  • EN: "I'm Karine, let's go" → identify as Karine, lock to vault_tribu, set Hybrid mode.
  • FR: "c'est Roland, on enchaîne" → identifie comme Roland, lock vault_tribu, mode Hybrid.
  • EN: "who's speaking today?" → ask the user (don't guess), then identify.

Pre-conditions

This skill only makes sense when the current default vault is a shared family/multi-user vault that has the tribu-routing convention installed in its CLAUDE.md. Detect this by:

  1. Reading the vault's CLAUDE.md and looking for an H2 heading matching Family-member auto-routing (case-insensitive)
  2. OR by recognizing the structure wiki/People/<N>/ with multiple member subfolders

If neither, this skill doesn't apply — push back with: "This skill is for shared family vaults using the tribu-routing convention. The current default vault (<name>) doesn't appear to use this pattern. If you want to install it, run /obsidian-router:conventions install tribu-routing."

Argument parsing from $ARGUMENTS

  • bare member name or alias (Roland, roro, papa, karine, max, nico, …) → match against the vault CLAUDE.md table
  • empty / "qui parle?" / "who is speaking?" → ASK the user explicitly: "Qui parle dans cette session ? (membres reconnus : Roland, Karine, Maxence, Nicolas, Amelie + leurs alias)". Wait for the answer before proceeding.

Always

  1. Read the vault's CLAUDE.md to get the canonical members + alias table. Never hardcode the list — it's per-vault.
  2. Match the user's input (case-insensitive) against the table. Both canonical names and aliases are valid. If match found, store the canonical name (e.g., roroRoland).
  3. No match → DON'T guess. Tell the user the list of recognized members and ask them to clarify. Refuse to proceed.
  4. After successful match, in sequence:
    • Call mcp__obsidian-router__lock_vault({ vault: '<vault-name>' }) (use the slug of the current default family vault, typically tribu)
    • Call mcp__obsidian-router__set_auto_enrich_mode({ mode: 'Hybrid' })
    • Confirm to the user: "Identifié comme . Vault verrouillé sur <vault-slug>, mode auto-enrich Hybrid. Les saves auto routent vers wiki/People/<Canonical Name>/." (or EN equivalent if user is speaking EN)
  5. For the rest of the session, treat the identified member as the active speaker. When auto-enrichment proposes saves (triggers 1/2/3 of the auto-enrichment consigne), prefix paths with wiki/People/<member>/. Items that are explicitly collective → wiki/Family/.
  6. Medical sensitivity guard stays in force even in Hybrid mode. This skill switches the vault to Hybrid, which auto-saves type-safe items without asking. But per the tribu-routing convention, health/medical data (sleep, medications, diagnoses, symptoms) must NEVER be auto-saved without explicit user confirmation — the sensitivity filter overrides Hybrid's auto-save. When in doubt about whether an item is medical, ask before saving.
