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.

Use it to inspect links between project notes, explore an Obsidian knowledge base, and see how documentation topics connect.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00088	$0.01430
Opus 5.5	$0.00035	$0.00572
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00286
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00143

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 2mo 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:

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.
timeout 3 obsidian vaults - if it fails, launch Obsidian (open -a Obsidian on macOS, equivalent for Linux/Windows), wait 2-3 seconds, retry.
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:

User argument (vault name) → fuzzy-match once, confirm.
Path overlap - exactly one vault whose path is inside $PWD or vice versa.
Frontmatter project_path - a root note's YAML matches $PWD exactly.
Strong name match - word-boundary substring match, exactly one candidate.
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.
