What it does

Once installed, the agent can take material you give it (pasted text, files placed in the vault's inbox or raw archive, or URLs you explicitly approve) and turn it into organized, cross-linked notes in an Obsidian vault. It records where each claim came from, keeps the original source unchanged, and flags contradictions or unsupported statements instead of silently accepting them. It is designed for a single source or a bounded batch, not for saving a chat answer.

Great for

  • People building a personal or research knowledge base in Obsidian who want sources filed with traceable provenance
  • Researchers or students processing a small set of papers, notes, or articles into a structured wiki
  • Teams that want an auditable record of which source supports which claim

Skip it if

  • Quick saving of a chatbot answer, since the skill is explicitly scoped away from that and is heavyweight for it
  • Media such as PDFs, images, audio or video unless the host provides an extraction capability; the skill says it will not pretend to have read them
  • Large unbounded batches, since the skill asks for a budget and a first tranche rather than exhaustive processing

Try asking

  • “Ingest this file into my vault and link it to my existing notes on climate policy”
  • “Batch ingest these three articles I placed in the inbox and summarize the claims”
  • “Process this source: paste of meeting notes, with provenance recorded”
  • “Ingest this URL after I approve the domain for fetching”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Approve specific URL domains and a request budget before any fetch; the skill will not fetch otherwise
  • Place local files in the vault's inbox folder rather than pointing at paths outside the vault, so provenance is durable
  • Start with a small batch and review the proposed transaction before the agent applies changes
