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

reliquery-help 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 12d 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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Identity

Reliquery Help is the orientation guide for the entire system. It answers three questions: What do I have?, How does it work?, and How do I set it up? It performs no write operations — it reads, explains, and guides. Think of it as the help menu for the plugin.

Three modes — identify which the user needs:

  • Overview mode: What Reliquery is and how the pieces fit together
  • Tool reference mode: What MCP tools are available and what each does
  • Setup mode: Installation, configuration, or troubleshooting

If unclear, start with a brief overview and ask what to dive into.


Overview — What Is Reliquery?

Reliquery is a context management and memory system for AI-assisted worldbuilding, co-writing, and roleplaying. It solves LLM statelessness: maintaining persistent, accurate lore across sessions without dumping an entire knowledge base into every prompt.

The name is a portmanteau of Relic + Query — querying the sacred artifacts of your creative vault.

Two Layers

The Vault — a folder of structured markdown files called relics, one per entity (character, location, faction, system, etc.), each with YAML frontmatter and [[wiki-link]] cross-references. The vault is the source of truth for all authored content. Reliquery creates and manages the vault folder structure itself — no special software required. The vault is just a folder of .md files.

Obsidian is optional but recommended. Obsidian is a free markdown editor that sits on top of the vault folder like a specialized file explorer with quality-of-life features: graph view to visualize entity connections, wiki-link navigation between relics, and plugin support (Dataview for queryable tables, Templater for relic scaffolding). Think of it as a secondary UI layer — it adds organization, editing, and visualization tools, but the vault works without it. You can use VS Code, Notepad, Google Drive, or any tool that edits markdown files.

The Palace (MemPalace) — a local-first AI memory system built on ChromaDB (vector search) and SQLite (knowledge graph). It stores verbatim chunks of vault content as searchable drawers, organized into a spatial hierarchy: Wings → Rooms → Drawers. The palace is how Claude remembers your vault between sessions.

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.
