SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ingest raw text data into an Obsidian wiki, turning disparate exports, transcripts, logs, and other unstructured text into searchable, knowledge-rich pages.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Universal text source handler: detects and processes a variety of text formats (plain text, CSV, JSON-like exports) and distills them into wiki pages.
  • Safe, bounded ingestion: validates sources, checks the vault manifest to avoid re-ingestion, and uses the configured Obsidian link format for internal links.
  • Real-world use cases include importing Slack/Discord transcripts, meeting notes, chat histories, journal dumps, or CSV data into structured pages for later reference.

Quick Start

Ingest a data source by running the ingestion workflow to generate wiki pages.
