SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a simple, no-dependency path to capture pasted text and local markdown files into the wiki vault so users don't have to manually copy, reformat, or recreate notes when building a persistent knowledge base.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pasted Text Handling: Accepts raw pasted text and saves it as a notes file under vault/raw with a minimal YAML header.
  • Local Markdown Import: Reads local markdown files, copies them into vault/raw if needed, and extracts existing YAML frontmatter for metadata.
  • Routing to Ingest Pipeline: Normalizes the content and forwards it to the ingest router for page creation and further processing.
  • Use Cases: Quick meeting transcripts, clipped web notes, and migrating local markdown drafts into the wiki.

Quick Start

Ingest the provided text or local file path to save it into the vault/raw folder and route it to the ingest pipeline.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import local markdown files into a wiki vault?

To import local markdown files into a wiki vault, the Skill reads local file paths, copies them under vault/raw, extracts existing YAML frontmatter, and routes the content to the ingest pipeline for page creation.

Can I save pasted text as a markdown note with YAML frontmatter?

Yes, you can save pasted text as a markdown note by providing the raw text, which the Skill stores under vault/raw and automatically annotates with a minimal YAML header before routing.

Do I need external dependencies to convert notes into wiki pages?

No, you do not need external dependencies to convert notes into wiki pages. The Skill processes pasted text and local markdown into raw vault files without requiring any external packages.

What is the best way to migrate local markdown drafts into a persistent knowledge base?

The best way to migrate local markdown drafts is to ingest the local file paths, allowing the Skill to copy them into vault/raw, extract YAML metadata, and forward the normalized content to the ingest router.

How does YAML frontmatter extraction work when ingesting markdown notes?

YAML frontmatter extraction works by reading the existing metadata in local markdown files during the ingestion process, preserving it as the content is copied to vault/raw and routed to the ingest pipeline.
