ingest-url

To ingest a URL into your Obsidian wiki, the Skill distills the web page content and writes it as a new page with robust frontmatter. It automatically detects your current project folder to place the page contextually, preserving the source URL and provenance data for future reference.

Web distillation in this context captures provenance by automatically generating frontmatter with source_url, created, and updated fields. This ensures that every ingested web page maintains its original link and contextual metadata, enabling reliable later discovery and linking within your project wiki.

Yes, you can save research articles automatically into a specific project folder. The Skill detects your current project context and places new pages there accordingly; if no project is detected, it defaults to placing the distilled web content into a misc/ folder.

The best way to avoid duplicate pages is to rely on the Skill's built-in duplicate validation. Before writing a new page to your Obsidian wiki, it checks for existing duplicates and validates the vault configuration to ensure your knowledge management system remains clean and organized.

No, ingest-url does not require any dependencies or components to function. It operates independently to validate your vault configuration, distill web page content, and apply structured frontmatter directly into your Obsidian wiki without additional setup.
