What it does

Temple Generator is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. Generate a 3D interactive knowledge map (Inner Temple) from any Obsidian vault or document set. Supports multi-scale abstraction layers and dual-graph common maps between two vaults.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, `references/classification-guide.md` and `references/entity-schema.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Knowledge Management work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/temple-generator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Scan the Vault
  2. Read the Scan + Sample Notes
  3. Classify Entities
  4. Build Abstraction Levels
  5. Generate Scene Package
  6. Generate HTML
  7. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Temple Generator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 679 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.2k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Temple Generator

Generate a 3D interactive knowledge visualization from any Obsidian vault. The output is a single HTML file (Three.js) with concentric entity rings, audio, discovery mechanics, and multi-scale semantic zoom.

When to Use

  • User wants to visualize any Obsidian vault as a 3D knowledge map
  • User wants to compare two vaults/document sets visually
  • User wants to regenerate the temple from scratch with fresh vault analysis

Architecture

Two-part system:

  1. Generation pipeline (this skill): discovers structure, names it, scores confidence, exports a scene package
  2. Runtime renderer (template): handles navigation, transitions, audio, discovery

Pre-generate meaning. Runtime-render experience.

Workflow

Step 1: Scan the Vault

Run python3 ~/.claude/skills/temple-generator/scripts/extract_entities.py <vault_path>.

This produces vault-scan.json with:

  • Files: path, title, tags, outgoing links, backlink counts, word count, folder, frontmatter
  • Graph: adjacency list with bidirectional link counts
  • Centrality: degree centrality per node
  • Clusters: detected groups of tightly linked notes
Step 2: Read the Scan + Sample Notes
  1. Read vault-scan.json
  2. Read the top ~20 nodes by centrality (first 100 lines each)
  3. Read references/classification-guide.md for entity type heuristics
  4. Read 3-5 representative notes to calibrate the vault's "voice" (formal/informal, domain jargon, language)
Step 3: Classify Entities

Using references/classification-guide.md, assign each significant node to an entity type. Maintain two vocabularies:

  • canonical: neutral labels for portability (anxiety-management, fermentation-process)
  • poetic: mythic/art labels for the installation (The Ferment Gate, The Cortisol Throne)

Target counts per type (adjust for vault size):

TypeSmall vault (< 100)Medium (100-500)Large (500+)
Gods2-33-55-7
Demigods3-75-128-15
Tensions2-43-75-9
Narratives2-55-108-12
Blind spots1-33-54-7
Spirits1-33-53-5
Research5-1510-2515-30
Values2-53-85-10
Trails2-53-85-10
Questions3-65-108-12
Depths2-55-108-15
Crystals1-32-53-6
Step 4: Build Abstraction Levels

Levels are confidence-gated — only include a level if the vault supports it.

Level 0 — Entities (always exists): individual nodes with positions, connections, descriptions.

Level 1 — Domains (requires >= 3 meaningful clusters): groups of related entities. Each domain has:

  • canonical + poetic name
  • member entity keys
  • centroid position (weighted average of member positions)
  • representative exemplar (most central member)
  • description (1-2 sentences in vault voice)
  • confidence score (0-1)

Level 2 — Axes (requires >= 2 interpretable opposing pairs): fundamental tensions. Each axis has:

  • two poles with names and descriptions
  • member domains per pole
  • axis description
  • confidence score

Level 3 — Comparison (requires two vaults + sufficient alignment): shared/unique analysis.

Read references/merge-algorithm.md for dual-graph logic.

Step 5: Generate Scene Package

Follow the schema in references/entity-schema.md to produce temple-data.json.

Include:

  • entities: all classified nodes
  • levels: abstraction layers with zoom thresholds
  • mappings: entity → domain → axis crosswalks
  • comparison: (if dual-graph) shared/unique/alignment data
  • audio: motif hints per type and level
  • style: poetic vocabulary, intro text, color palette, layer definitions
  • confidence: per-abstraction and per-alignment scores
Step 6: Generate HTML
  1. Copy ~/.claude/skills/temple-generator/assets/temple-template.html to the output location
  2. If --inline flag: embed the JSON data as const TEMPLE_DATA = {...}; inside the HTML
  3. Otherwise: place temple-data.json alongside the HTML
Step 7: Report

Show the user:

  • Entity counts by type
  • Abstraction levels generated (with confidence scores)
  • Top 5 gods/central entities
  • Detected tensions
  • If dual-graph: overlap percentage and shared domains

Dual-Graph Mode

When --compare vault_path_2 is provided:

  1. Scan both vaults independently (Step 1)
  2. Classify entities for each vault (Steps 2-3)
  3. Run merge algorithm from references/merge-algorithm.md
  4. Generate merged scene package with source attribution
  5. Template renders shared scaffold with divergence offsets

Quality Guidelines

  • Skip trivial notes (daily todos, admin logs, empty stubs)
  • Prefer nodes that reveal the vault's actual concerns, not its filing system
  • Write in the vault's own voice, calibrated from sample notes
  • If a level lacks confidence, omit it rather than fabricating structure
  • Each abstraction level must be backed by membership weights, exemplars, and provenance
  • "The abstraction hierarchy should be semantic, not just geometric"

Audio Guidance for Template

The template's audio system should respect hierarchical continuity across zoom levels:

  • L0 (close): localized, identity-rich — entity whispers and textures
  • L1 (medium): regional harmonic beds, cluster pulses
  • L2 (far): sparse drones, tension-based tonal movement
  • L3 (comparison): stereo/dialogic between two vault voices

Zoom should feel like changing resolution, not changing universes. Motifs relate across scales.

What does Temple Generator need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Temple Generator needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Temple Generator access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Temple Generator safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
