What it does

Get Perspective On is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Extract the user's perspective on a topic (called by a content agent or user)

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/get-perspective-on”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd5e9a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Get Perspective On loads about 864 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~864

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

name: get-perspective-on
description: Extract the user's perspective on a topic (called by a content agent or user)

Get Perspective On

Extract the user's unique perspective on a topic from the knowledge base. Returns brief, focused insights (not full article). Can be called directly by user or via content agent in headless mode.

Usage

/get-perspective-on <topic or question>

Parameters

topic or question: What perspective to retrieve
- Specific topic
- Question format
- Comparison
- Application

Examples

/get-perspective-on AI agent adoption barriers
/get-perspective-on Why do companies resist AI?
/get-perspective-on How dopamine relates to social media
/get-perspective-on What's contrarian about my AI views?

Workflow

Search Knowledge Base
- Use /recall or Local Brain Search
- Find 3-5 most relevant permanent notes
- Look for contrarian or non-obvious angles
Synthesize Perspective
- Brief format (1-3 paragraphs)
- Focus on unique angles
- Cite specific permanent notes
- Include "why this matters"
Return Response
- For direct user: Display perspective with citations
- For a content agent headless: Return text for content use

Output Format

🧠 the user's Perspective: [Topic]

[1-3 paragraphs synthesizing unique insights from permanent notes]

Key insights:
- [Insight 1 from [[Note A]]]
- [Insight 2 from [[Note B]]]
- [Insight 3 connecting [[Note C]] and [[Note D]]]

Why this matters:
[Brief explanation of significance or application]

📝 Cited Notes:
- [[Note Title 1]]
- [[Note Title 2]]
- [[Note Title 3]]

Integration with a content agent

When a content agent calls via headless mode:

bash

cd $PROJECT_ROOT
claude -p "/get-perspective-on 'AI adoption barriers'" --output-format json

a content agent receives:

json

{
  "result": "[Perspective text with citations]",
  "total_cost_usd": 0.34
}

Quality Criteria

Good perspective: ✅ Cites 3-5 specific permanent notes ✅ Highlights contrarian or non-obvious angles ✅ Connects to broader themes ✅ Includes concrete examples ✅ Authentic your voice

Weak perspective (regenerate): ❌ Generic AI knowledge ❌ No specific note citations ❌ Surface-level analysis ❌ Lacks unique angles

Use Cases

Quick content ideas for social posts
Video script foundations
Article brainstorming
Perspective validation
Connection discovery

Notes

Keep brief (1-3 paragraphs)
Focus on what's unique to the user's thinking
Always cite permanent notes
Emphasize non-obvious connections
Cost: ~$0.30-0.40 per call
