BB obsidian-rest

Read, write, search, create, append, patch, and manage notes in any Obsidian vault via the Local REST API plugin (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Use when asked to save notes, find information, read a document, append to a file, search the vault, write a runbook, update documentation, or manage Obsidian content. Triggers: "save this to Obsidian", "note this", "add to obsidian", "read my note on X", "find in obsidian", "update the runbook", "what did I save about X", "list my vault", "create a note", "append to", "sv".

What is at stake

Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.

Exfiltration medium severity

Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.

If you install

The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".

For the author

If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Against the Agent Skills spec

    • warning frontmatter-yaml SKILL.md: the frontmatter is not valid YAML (YAML parse error: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings at line 2, column 14: description: Read, write, search, create, append, patch, and manage notes in an… ^ ); fields were read line by line. The usual cause is a colon inside an unquoted value
    • note frontmatter-key unknown frontmatter key "homepage"

    Process rating: all ten parameters 78/100

    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, read, web) that frontmatter does not declare
    • 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
    • 100Steps. 23 steps
    • 100Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
    • 100Failures and branches. 4 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 3067 tokens
    • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
    • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
    • low 11 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.

    External checks

    ClawHub: suspicious
    This Obsidian skill is purpose-aligned, but it gives an agent broad note-reading, note-modifying, deletion, and command-execution authority without clear confirmation guardrails.
