What it does
Obsidian Project Bootstrap is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. This skill should be used when the user asks to start a new research project, import an existing code-plus-Markdown repository into Obsidian, or bind the current repository to a compact research knowledge base for future syncing.
Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/BOOTSTRAP-RUNBOOK.md`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Asks to start a new research project
- Import an existing code-plus-Markdown repository into Obsidian
- Bind the current repository to a compact research knowledge base for future syncing
Example prompts
- “/obsidian-project-bootstrap”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- explicit user input,
- OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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:
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
Obsidian Project Bootstrap loads about 697 tokens when it runs, and up to ~974 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 262 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 262 words (~697 tokens).
“Bootstrap a project knowledge base for the current repository.”
