What it does
Research is an agent skill from thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian. Use when the user asks a question about their vault, wants to explore a topic across notes, or says "research", "find out", "what do I know about", or "summarize my notes on". Chains semantic search, note reading, and link traversal for deep vault research.
Its SKILL.md is about 350 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 Backend & APIs, covering Smart contracts. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: A Gemini CLI extension for interfacing with an Obsidian vault with local first RAG capabilities. The licence is ISC.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks a question about their vault
- Wants to explore a topic across notes
- What do I know about
- Summarize my notes on
Example prompts
- “research”
- “find out”
- “what do I know about”
- “/research”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Semantic Discovery — Call obsidian_rag_query with the user's question (limit 5-10). This surfaces the most relevant chunks across the vault.
- Targeted Reading — For each high-relevance result, call obsidian_read_note to get the full context. Skim for the most pertinent sections.
- Link Traversal — Check obsidian_get_links on the most relevant notes to find connected knowledge. Read promising linked notes.
- Synthesis — Combine findings into a clear answer with citations
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9156cba. 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.
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
Research loads about 352 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 150 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.

Deep Vault Research
Research a topic across the user's Obsidian vault using a multi-pass approach.
Workflow
Semantic Discovery — Call
obsidian_rag_querywith the user's question (limit 5-10). This surfaces the most relevant chunks across the vault.Targeted Reading — For each high-relevance result, call
obsidian_read_noteto get the full context. Skim for the most pertinent sections.Link Traversal — Check
obsidian_get_linkson the most relevant notes to find connected knowledge. Read promising linked notes.Synthesis — Combine findings into a clear answer with citations:
- Reference specific notes by name:
[[Note Name]] - Quote relevant passages when helpful
- Note any gaps or contradictions in the vault's knowledge
- Reference specific notes by name:
Arguments
The user's query follows the skill invocation. Example: /research what do I know about authentication patterns
Tips
- If RAG returns no results, suggest running
/indexfirst - For broad topics, do multiple RAG queries with different phrasings
- Always cite which notes your answer draws from

What does Research do?
A skill your agent uses when the user asks a question about their vault, wants to explore a topic across notes, or says "research", "find out", "what do I know about", or "summarize my notes on". Research is an agent skill from thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian. Use when the user asks a question about their vault, wants to explore a topic across notes, or says "research", "find out", "what do I know about", or "summarize my notes on".
When should I use Research?
Research fits situations like: the user asks a question about their vault; wants to explore a topic across notes; what do I know about; summarize my notes on.
How do I install Research in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian --skill research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/research in thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian) into .claude/skills/research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Research in Codex?
Run `npx skills add thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian --skill research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/research in thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian) into .agents/skills/research in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Research in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add thoreinstein/gemini-obsidian --skill research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/research, .gemini/skills/research, .github/skills/research and .opencode/skills/research in your project.
What does Research need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Research is instructions for the agent only.
Does Research 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 Research 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. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Research use?
Research is published under the ISC licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Research use?
About 352 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Research?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Research: Wallets (austintgriffith/ethskills, 294 stars), Obsidian Bases (Atmosphere/atmosphere, 3.8k stars), Fizz Convert (pashov/skills, 1.2k stars) and Solana Dev (solana-foundation/solana-dev-skill, 574 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Research?
