What it does

Vault Cleanup Auditor is an agent skill from BrianRWagner/ai-marketing-claude-code-skills. Audit your Obsidian vault in Claude Code — finds stale drafts, empty folders, duplicate filenames, and incomplete files. Saves a dated report.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `SKILL-OC.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Marketing frameworks that AI actually executes. Designed for Claude Code, but could be used for OpenClaw, etc.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/vault-cleanup-auditor”

Workflow steps

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

  1. INTAKE
  2. ANALYZE
  3. OUTPUT
  4. SELF-CRITIQUE

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f36b34f. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

    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

Vault Cleanup Auditor loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 303 words (~1,515 tokens).

“Runs 4 targeted checks against your Obsidian vault and saves a prioritized audit report to vault-audit/YYYY-MM-DD-audit.md. Takes under 30 seconds. No APIs, no paid services.”
