obsidian-ingestlisted

Processes an arbitrary markdown file (article, web clip, transcript, notes, draft note) and turns it into structured knowledge for an Obsidian base using the PARA methodology. The skill extracts atomic entities (concepts, insights, facts), invents logical names for notes, creates a source literature note, and builds wikilinks and frontmatter. Use this skill whenever the user wants to "add this to the knowledge base", "rework this article", "process these notes", "extract the knowledge from this text", "ingest this", "put this in the vault", "put this in the base", or brings a markdown file to save into Obsidian.

# obsidian-ingest — Knowledge ingest into the Obsidian vault This skill is the ingest pipeline coordinator. Your job: take a single markdown file, understand what knowledge is hidden in it, decide how best to represent it in the base, and create the necessary files. You do the formatting, frontmatter, and link enrichment yourself — that's an integral part of ingest. Before starting, read the vault rules: - `AGENTS.md` — general principles for working with the base - `.claude/rules/note-types-frontmatter.md` — frontmatter templates and fields - `.claude/rules/knowledge-structures.md` — atomic notes, MOCs, syntheses - `.claude/rules/content-style.md` — language, style, wikilinks - `.claude/rules/tags.md` — tag taxonomy --- ## Step 1. Read and understand the source Read the input file in full. Determine: - **Content type**: article / web clip, transcript, meeting notes, draft note, arbitrary markdown - **Main topic**: one phrase describing what this text is about - **Domain**: which tags it belongs to (sre, kubernetes, observability, career, concept, etc.) - **Confidence level**: `medium` if there's a single source, `high` if you see the idea corroborated multiple times --- ## Step 2. Extract entities (knowledge extraction) Types: - **Concepts and models** — abstract ideas, frameworks, thinking patterns - **Insights** — non-trivial conclusions not obvious from the title - **Facts** — specific statements, data, figures - **Practices** — "how-to"s, processes, techniques
