What it does

Sync Upstream Obsidianos is an agent skill from benoror/obsidianos_work. Pull structural updates from upstream ObsidianOS into the local vault.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 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 Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: ObsidianOS - Work Vault. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/sync-upstream-obsidianos”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check prerequisites
  2. Preview
  3. Confirm and merge
  4. Report results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c7923e. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Sync Upstream Obsidianos loads about 465 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 220 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
~465

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.

Sync Upstream ObsidianOS

Shortcut to run .scripts/sync-upstream.sh.

Usage

CommandWhat it does
/sync-upstream-obsidianosPreview and merge upstream updates
/sync-upstream-obsidianos previewPreview only — show what's new without merging

Workflow

1. Check prerequisites
  • Verify upstream remote exists: git remote get-url upstream. If missing, tell the user to add it:
    git remote add upstream <url-to-upstream-repo>
  • Verify working tree is clean (git status --short). If dirty, ask the user to commit or stash first.
2. Preview

Run .scripts/sync-upstream.sh --preview and show the output (new commits and changed files).

If there are no new commits, report "already up to date" and stop.

If the user only asked for preview, stop here.

3. Confirm and merge

Present the preview results and ask the user to confirm before merging.

On confirmation, run the full sync:

echo y | ./.scripts/sync-upstream.sh
4. Report results

Show the merge outcome:

  • Which files were updated.
  • Whether any files were excluded via .sync-exclude.
  • The final commit (git log -1 --oneline).

If the merge had conflicts, relay the conflict list and instruct the user to resolve manually.

Important Notes

  • The script protects personal files (Meetings, Teams, Templates, etc.) via .gitattributes merge=ours rules.
  • Files matching patterns in .sync-exclude are auto-removed from the merge (e.g. upstream example files).
  • This skill never pushes — the user decides when to push.
  • If the upstream remote doesn't exist, do not create it automatically — prompt the user for the URL.
