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-offboard 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-offboard - Session Handoff

Examine what happened this session and write a proportional handoff note so the next session can pick up seamlessly.

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. It's a strict priority order:

  1. User argument (vault name in $ARGUMENTS) → fuzzy-match once, confirm, done. If the argument also contains notes (e.g., "master vault focus on auth refactor"), split: vault name hint first, rest becomes user-provided notes for Step 2d.
  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 all fail, list available vaults and ask. Do NOT default. Do NOT fall back to the currently active Obsidian vault.

Writing to the wrong vault would pollute it with handoff notes for an unrelated project. If you're less than confident, ASK.

After resolution, print a confirmation line on your first reply:

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

Critical: every obsidian command in this skill MUST include vault="<resolved>". Never omit 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.
