What it does

Obsidian CLI Runtime Admin is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when the user needs Obsidian runtime administration through official desktop CLI commands for plugins, restricted mode, themes, CSS snippets, command catalog/hotkeys, or targeted command execution. Keep this skill separate from note CRUD, Sync/Publish, and devtools diagnostics.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/limitations-and-boundaries.md` and `references/obsidian-cli-runtime-admin-playbook.md`).

It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user needs Obsidian runtime administration through official desktop CLI commands for plugins
  • Restricted mode
  • Command catalog/hotkeys
  • Targeted command execution

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-cli-runtime-admin”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use only documented official runtime-admin CLI commands.
  2. Prefer read-only inventory first for mixed flows: plugins, plugins:enabled, themes, snippets, commands, hotkeys.
  3. Treat runtime mutation commands as high impact.
  4. For command id=<...>, require explicit command ID and do not guess silently.
  5. Before mutating runtime state, summarize exact side effects and scope.
  6. If command ID, plugin ID, theme name, or snippet name is ambiguous, stop and ask for disambiguation.
  7. Do not use this skill as a backdoor to broad opaque behavior; keep execution tied to explicit user request.
  8. If a request is outside official runtime-admin support, say so and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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).

    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 CLI Runtime Admin loads about 935 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~935
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

Use this skill when the user needs Obsidian runtime administration through official desktop CLI commands for plugins, restricted mode, themes, CSS snippets, command catalog/hotkeys, or targeted command execution. Keep this skill separate from note CRUD, Sync/Publish, and devtools diagnostics.

Obsidian CLI Runtime Admin

Use this skill for Obsidian runtime administration through official desktop obsidian CLI commands.

Routing contract

Use this skill when:

  • the user asks to inspect or change plugin state
  • the user asks to inspect or change themes or CSS snippets
  • the user asks about restricted mode
  • the user asks to list command IDs or hotkeys
  • the user asks to execute a specific Obsidian command ID

Do not use this skill when:

  • the request is primarily note edits, links, tasks, properties, templates, or history
  • the request is primarily Sync/Publish operations
  • the request is explicitly a named one-command workflow ID (route to obsidian-cli-workflows)
  • the request is runtime debugging, DOM/CSS inspection, or screenshot/eval diagnostics

Preconditions

Assume these must be true before relying on this skill:

  • obsidian command is installed and registered
  • Obsidian desktop app is available locally
  • first command may launch Obsidian if it is not running
  • in Codex Desktop on macOS, direct launches may crash; use the sanitized wrapper

Codex-safe launcher

In Codex Desktop on macOS, prefer this wrapper:

bash
script -q /dev/null /usr/local/bin/zsh -ilc 'unset __CFBundleIdentifier LaunchInstanceID XPC_SERVICE_NAME CODEX_CI CODEX_SANDBOX CODEX_SHELL; export TERM=xterm-256color; obsidian ...'

Escalate the wrapped command only when required by sandbox boundaries.

Core operating policy

  1. Use only documented official runtime-admin CLI commands.
  2. Prefer read-only inventory first for mixed flows: plugins, plugins:enabled, themes, snippets, commands, hotkeys.
  3. Treat runtime mutation commands as high impact.
  4. For command id=<...>, require explicit command ID and do not guess silently.
  5. Before mutating runtime state, summarize exact side effects and scope.
  6. If command ID, plugin ID, theme name, or snippet name is ambiguous, stop and ask for disambiguation.
  7. Do not use this skill as a backdoor to broad opaque behavior; keep execution tied to explicit user request.
  8. If a request is outside official runtime-admin support, say so and stop.
