At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the user wants to detach, archive, purge, or otherwise change the lifecycle state of an Obsidian project knowledge base.

  • The user wants to detach
  • SKILL.md covers Role in the workflow, Project-level commands, Note-level command and Policy
  • Calls python3
  • Otherwise change the lifecycle state of an Obsidian project knowledge base

What it does

Obsidian Project Lifecycle is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use this skill when the user wants to detach, archive, purge, or otherwise change the lifecycle state of an Obsidian project knowledge base.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 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 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

  • The user wants to detach
  • Otherwise change the lifecycle state of an Obsidian project knowledge base

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-project-lifecycle”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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 Lifecycle loads about 421 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~421

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 97 words (~421 tokens).

“Use the shared helper script for deterministic lifecycle operations.”
