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

obsidian-vault 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 10d 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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Obsidian Vault Assistant

Help the user organize and maintain an Obsidian vault: build navigation with MOCs and wikilinks, normalize metadata, generate dashboards, find and fix orphans, organize folders, deduplicate/rename, and prepare the vault for AI use.

Obsidian-specific facts that shape every rule here:

  • Links are wikilinks resolved by filename, not path: [[Note title]]. Renaming a note auto-updates links inside Obsidian, but moving files outside Obsidian breaks them — always rename via Obsidian when possible.
  • Metadata is Properties (YAML frontmatter) at the top of a note.
  • Dashboards come from Dataview (query language, read-only, flexible) or Bases (native, editable tables, fast on big vaults, properties-only).

Before acting, confirm the vault's root folder and whether the user has the Dataview plugin installed (Bases is built in since Obsidian 1.9). When a request is ambiguous (organize vs. clean up vs. dashboard), ask which task.

  • Basic: [[Three laws of motion]] — resolves by filename, no extension/path.
  • Display text (pipe): [[atomic-habits|James Clear — Atomic Habits]].
  • Heading link: [[Note#Section]]. Block link: [[Note#^block-id]].
  • Embed/transclude: ![[Note]], ![[Note#Section]], ![[image.png]].
  • Aliases: add an aliases property so the note resolves under other names.
  • Avoid # | ^ : % and [ ] in filenames — they have special meaning in links.
  • Prefer wikilinks for internal navigation; use standard Markdown links only if the vault is also published to a tool that can't parse wikilinks.

When adding links, also surface unlinked mentions: if a note's title appears as plain text in other notes, convert those to wikilinks.

Maps of Content (MOCs)

A MOC is a note that links the related notes on a topic — the vault's navigation layer (more flexible than folders or tags, and needs no institutional knowledge).

Conventions:

  • Name MOCs clearly and tag them: tags: [moc] (or a type: moc property) so every MOC is itself discoverable.
  • Keep a top-level Home / Index MOC that links to all topic MOCs.
  • A MOC holds a short intro plus grouped wikilinks; it can be hand-curated or auto-generated with a Dataview/Bases query (see Dashboards).

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.
