Query data from this vault. An agent skill from ArtemXTech/claude-code-obsidian-starter.

  • User asks about projects
  • SKILL.md covers IMPORTANT, Projects, Clients and Tasks, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls curl
  • Tasks that involve Note-taking

What it does

Query is an agent skill from ArtemXTech/claude-code-obsidian-starter. Query data from this vault. USE WHEN user asks about projects, clients, tasks, daily notes. Use grep to extract frontmatter - do NOT read full files.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking. 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 asks about projects
  • Tasks that involve Note-taking

Example prompts

  • “/query”

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Query loads about 299 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 44 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~299

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 44 words (~299 tokens).

“Use grep to extract frontmatter. Do NOT read full files.”
