What it does

Granola is an agent skill from ArtemXTech/claude-code-obsidian-starter. Query and sync Granola meetings to Obsidian vault. Use when user mentions Granola, meeting transcripts, or wants to sync meeting notes. Reads from local cache - no API needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/granola.py` and `templates/granola-meeting.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Meeting notes and agendas. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Free starter kit: Claude Code + Obsidian. Pre-configured vault with skills for projects, tasks, clients, and daily routines. Just open and go.

When your agent uses it

  • User mentions Granola
  • Meeting transcripts
  • Wants to sync meeting notes

Example prompts

  • “/granola”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Record meeting in Granola (real-time transcription)
  2. Sync to vault: python3 .claude/skills/granola/scripts/granola.py sync
  3. Process meeting: Extract action items, update people notes
  4. Mark as processed: Change status: raw to status: processed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3fc012. 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.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Granola loads about 905 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 199 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~905

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
