Bidirectional sync between Obsidian PKM (human-friendly notes) and structured ontology (machine-queryable graph). Automatically extracts entities and relatio...
Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable with your selected Obsidian vault being scanned and transformed into persistent ontology data. Configure narrow vault/output paths, exclude private folders where possible, review generated graph and feedback files, and avoid enabling cron until you have confirmed what will be scanned and how to disable it.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: obsidian-ontology-sync
Version: 1.0.1
The skill's code (`scripts/sync.py`) and documentation (`SKILL.md`, `README.md`) are aligned with its stated purpose of synchronizing Obsidian notes with an ontology. The Python script performs local file system operations (reading markdown, writing JSONL files) and text processing using standard libraries. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution (e.g., `os.system`, network calls), persistence mechanisms beyond its stated cron job setup for legitimate scheduling, or prompt injection attempts against the OpenClaw agent. All file access and operations are confined to the user's specified Obsidian vault and ontology storage paths.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Reading Obsidian markdown and writing ontology or feedback outputs matches the stated sync purpose, and supplied telemetry reports no network exfiltration or unrelated command execution.
Instruction Scope
The documented workflow includes structured extraction of personal details from free-form notes and optional recurring execution; that is high-impact local indexing and should be more explicitly scoped and consented.
Install Mechanism
No deceptive installer behavior or unexpected package installation was evidenced; the notable setup concern is the documented cron scheduling path.
Credentials
Processing a user-selected Obsidian vault is relevant to the purpose, but personal vaults often contain sensitive content and the skill appears to duplicate derived data into machine-queryable outputs without strong minimization or exclusion controls.
Persistence & Privilege
The ontology and feedback files are persistent derived records, and cron-based sync can keep ingesting new notes in the background; no elevated privileges or hidden persistence were evidenced.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install obsidian-ontology-sync - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/obsidian-ontology-sync - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
