Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00162 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
init scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
/init — Scaffold an Agent-Ready Obsidian Vault
Run the init script to scaffold a complete vault in the current directory:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/init-vault.sh"
If CLAUDE.md already exists and the user wants to overwrite:
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/init-vault.sh" --force
The script handles everything: directories, templates, CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json, hooks, .gitignore, example notes, and git init.
After the script completes, tell the user:
Vault initialized! Next steps:
1. Open this folder in Obsidian
2. Install recommended community plugins:
- Dataview (recommended — powers Spaces dashboards)
- Obsidian Linter (recommended — auto-formatting)
3. In Obsidian Settings → Core Plugins → Templates:
- Set "Template folder location" to "templates"
4. Start using the vault:
- /process — Process a source note (try the example post!)
- /recall — Review session with spaced repetition
- /synthesize — Cross-domain synthesis
- /research — Research a new topic
- /youtube — Create notes from a YouTube video

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.
- 8d ago First seen · 45 lines · 34 tokens per session scan A 7d1e15381ae6
init is a skill published in the GitHub repository tuan3w/obsidian-vault-agent (37 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 325 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
