About this skill

$ARGUMENTS

License Activation

Activate Pro features by validating a license key against the API.

License Key Format

OE-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Where X is alphanumeric (A-Z, 0-9, excluding ambiguous chars I/O/0/1).

Activation Flow

  1. Validate format: Check key matches OE-[A-Z0-9]{5}-[A-Z0-9]{5}-[A-Z0-9]{5}-[A-Z0-9]{5}

  2. Generate machine ID: Create stable ID from system:

    echo "m-$(echo "$(hostname)-$(whoami)" | md5 | cut -c1-12)"
    
  3. Call validation API:

    POST https://api.obsidian-explorer.jhavens.tech/v1/license/validate
    Content-Type: application/json
    
    {
      "license_key": "OE-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX",
      "machine_id": "m-abc123def456"
    }
    
  4. Handle response:

    • valid: true → Update settings.json, report success
    • valid: false → Report reason (invalid, expired, machine_limit)
  5. Update settings.json:

    {
      "pro_enabled": true,
      "pro_license_key": "OE-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"
    }
    

Settings Location

Plugin settings: ./settings.json (relative to plugin root)

Deactivation

When deactivate=true:

  1. Read current settings.json
  2. Set pro_enabled: false
  3. Clear pro_license_key: ""
  4. Report deactivation complete

Machine Limit

Licenses support up to 3 machines. If limit reached:

  • API returns valid: false, reason: "Machine limit reached"
  • User must manage machines via customer portal

Offline Behavior

If API unreachable:

  • Check for cached validation at ~/.obsidian-explorer/license-cache.json
  • 7-day offline grace period if previously validated

Output

Success:

Pro license activated!
Type: lifetime
Expires: never
Machines: 1/3

Failure:

License validation failed: Machine limit reached
