manual-verify

manual-verify is a skill for Claude Code from uphy/obsidian-reminder. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,330 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided check for changes to an Obsidian plugin in a real test vault. Obsidian is a note-taking app that can be extended with plugins.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building the plugin, preparing a test vault, and walking through generated test notes to verify a fix or feature before review.
Why use it?
Automated tests do not cover code that talks to Obsidian itself, so a person must check those changes in the running app. It prepares the test setup and notes for that check.

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

manual-verify 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.

Manual verification in a test vault

Automated tests only cover src/model/; anything touching the Obsidian API must be verified by a human in a running Obsidian. This skill prepares everything so that the user only has to launch Obsidian and walk through generated test notes.

Environment-specific configuration

Never hardcode vault paths, plugin directory names, or other machine-specific details in this skill, in test notes' front matter, or in any committed file. Read them from CLAUDE.local.md at the repository root (auto-loaded into context, gitignored). Expected entries: test vault path, plugin symlink location, installed companion plugins. If CLAUDE.local.md is missing or lacks the vault path, ask the user where their test vault is and offer to record it in CLAUDE.local.md for next time.

Workflow

1. Build the code under verification

Run a production build in the checkout to verify (main repo or a worktree):

mise exec -- npm run build

Confirm the change is actually in the artifact before involving the user, e.g. grep -c "<some string unique to the change>" main.js. The vault loads main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the plugin directory; all three exist at the checkout root after a build.

2. Point the vault at the checkout

ln -sfn <checkout-path> <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/<plugin-dir>

A git worktree works fine as the target: the hot-reload plugin watches any plugin directory containing .git, and a worktree's .git file satisfies that.

3. Prepare plugin settings (the data.json gotcha)

Because of the symlink, the plugin's data.json lives at the checkout root (it is gitignored). Two rules:

  • Never edit data.json while Obsidian is running. The live plugin periodically saves its in-memory state and will silently overwrite your edits. Stage the desired file in the session scratchpad, ask the user to quit Obsidian, copy it into place, verify the copy, then ask them to relaunch.
  • Set "scanned": false and "reminders": {} in the staged file. This forces a full vault rescan at startup; otherwise test notes created while Obsidian was closed may not be picked up (the plugin has no create-event listener, see #270).

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.
