It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A plugin that harnesses AI agents and streamlining techniques to help you automatically manage Obsidian. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about creating templates
- Inserting dynamic content
- Automating note creation
- Writing Templater commands/user scripts
Example prompts
- “/obsidian-templater”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): get_current_note_context, inspect_obsidian_note, search_vault_snippets
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f02170. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
get_current_note_contextinspect_obsidian_notesearch_vault_snippets
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 Templater loads about 286 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 82 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.
