What it does

Obsidian Sync is an agent skill from Xiangyue-Zhang/auto-deep-researcher-24x7. Refresh Obsidian dashboard and daily notes from current experiment state

Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Note-taking. It works with Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: 🔥 An autonomous AI agent that runs your deep learning experiments 24/7 while you sleep. Zero-cost monitoring, Leader-Worker architecture, constant-size memory. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Note-taking

Example prompts

  • “/obsidian-sync”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read project config and check obsidian.enabled
  2. Read PROJECT_BRIEF.md, workspace/MEMORY_LOG.md, workspace/state.json, and .cycle_counter
  3. Refresh Dashboard.md in Obsidian, or workspace/progress_tracking/Dashboard.txt if no vault is configured
  4. Optionally append a new daily note entry

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dbf3df8. 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:

    • claude
    • python

    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 Sync loads about 247 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 69 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~247

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.

Refresh Obsidian dashboard and daily notes from current experiment state

obsidian-sync

Refresh progress notes for a Deep Researcher project.

Usage

bash
Claude Code: /obsidian-sync --project /path/to/project
Claude Code: /obsidian-sync --project /path/to/project --dashboard-only
Claude Code: /obsidian-sync --project /path/to/project --daily-only
Codex: $obsidian-sync

Behavior

  1. Read project config and check obsidian.enabled
  2. Read PROJECT_BRIEF.md, workspace/MEMORY_LOG.md, workspace/state.json, and .cycle_counter
  3. Refresh Dashboard.md in Obsidian, or workspace/progress_tracking/Dashboard.txt if no vault is configured
  4. Optionally append a new daily note entry

Command

bash
python -m core.obsidian --project /path/to/project

If progress export is disabled, tell the user to set obsidian.enabled: true. If obsidian.vault_path is empty, notes fall back to project-local text files.
