kb-graph

A command that opens an Obsidian vault and displays its graph view, where notes appear as connected points linked by references. It makes the relationships in a project's documentation visible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect links between project notes, explore an Obsidian knowledge base, and see how documentation topics connect.
Why use it?
A file list can hide how information is connected. The graph provides a visual way to explore related notes and discover the structure of the knowledge base.

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

kb-graph 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 2d 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.

kb-graph - Open Vault in Graph View

Open Obsidian at the project's vault and switch to the graph view. Pure convenience - makes the knowledge base visible as an explorable network rather than a file tree.

Step 0: Preflight - Obsidian available and running?

Follow the Preflight Check in the obsidian-kb awareness skill (${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/obsidian-kb/SKILL.md). In short:

  1. command -v obsidian - if missing, check if the app is installed; if neither, show cross-platform install instructions (brew install --cask obsidian / flatpak install flathub md.obsidian.Obsidian / winget install Obsidian.Obsidian, or https://obsidian.md/download) and stop.
  2. timeout 3 obsidian vaults - if it fails, launch Obsidian (open -a Obsidian on macOS, equivalent for Linux/Windows), wait 2-3 seconds, retry.
  3. Only proceed once obsidian vaults succeeds.

Step 1: Resolve the Project Vault (strict)

Follow the Vault Resolution Algorithm in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/obsidian-kb/SKILL.md. Strict priority order:

  1. User argument (vault name) → fuzzy-match once, confirm.
  2. Path overlap - exactly one vault whose path is inside $PWD or vice versa.
  3. Frontmatter project_path - a root note's YAML matches $PWD exactly.
  4. Strong name match - word-boundary substring match, exactly one candidate.
  5. STOP and ask - if tiers 1–4 fail, list vaults and ask. Do NOT default. Do NOT fall back to the active Obsidian vault.

After resolution, print the confirmation line:

"Opening vault <Vault Name> at <path> (matched via <tier>). Say 'wrong vault' if I should pick a different one."

Critical: the obsidian URI you open in Step 2 MUST use the resolved vault name - never let Obsidian decide which vault to open.

If no vault exists for this project (Tier 5 → user chose "create a new one"): offer to chain through /kb-init first, then return to this skill:

"No knowledge base vault found for this project. I can run /kb-init to create and populate one with codebase documentation, then come back to open the graph view. Takes 3-6 minutes. Proceed? [Y/n]"

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.

kb-graph is a skill published in the GitHub repository waelmas/codeplow (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 1,430 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
