vault

vault is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian. It costs 42 tokens per session (292 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A session setting for an Obsidian vault, which is a folder containing Markdown notes and related files. It records the vault path provided by the user.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set or change the absolute path to the current Obsidian vault.
Why use it?
It tells other vault tools where to find the notes they should work with. Without a path, those tools cannot reliably access the intended vault.

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

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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Vault Management

Configure or create the Obsidian vault for this session.

Create New Vault

If the user asks to create or initialize a new vault (e.g. /vault create <path> or "create vault at "):

  • Call obsidian_create_vault with path (and optional register, set_as_current)
  • Confirm: "Vault created at: [path]"

Set Existing Vault Path

With Argument

If the user provides a path to an existing vault after /vault:

  • Call obsidian_set_vault with the provided path (it must be an existing Obsidian vault containing a .obsidian folder)

Without Argument

If no path is provided:

  • Ask the user: "What is the absolute path to your Obsidian vault, or would you like to create a new one?"
  • Once they respond:
    • If creating: call obsidian_create_vault with their path
    • If setting existing: call obsidian_set_vault with their path

Confirmation

After setting, confirm: "Vault path set to: [path]"

Changes

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.
