SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fetches a web page and distills its content into an Obsidian wiki page, handling placement based on project context and ensuring safe, provenance-rich ingestion. This enables rapid enrichment of your knowledge graph from online sources while preserving citation integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project-aware routing: if a current project exists, pages land in that project's folder; otherwise they go to misc/.
  • Distillation & frontmatter: extracts title, metadata, and content layout suitable for Obsidian ingestion, with provenance markers.
  • Safety & provenance: avoids executing fetched content, respects content trust boundaries, and records source provenance for traceability.

Quick Start

Ingest a URL by saying "/ingest-url https://example.com/article".

FAQPage Schema
How do I save a web page to Obsidian automatically?▼

Yes, you can automate URL ingestion into your Obsidian wiki. This Skill fetches web pages, distills content into wiki pages with frontmatter, and routes them to project folders or misc/ while validating sources and detecting duplicates.

How does Obsidian handle duplicate web page notes?▼

Obsidian duplicate detection runs during URL ingestion. This Skill validates the source, checks for duplicate content, and records source provenance to ensure your knowledge graph remains clean and traceable.

Can I track the original source URL in Obsidian markdown notes?▼

Source tracking is handled via generated frontmatter. This Skill records source provenance and citations directly in the Obsidian markdown file, ensuring you can always trace the ingested content back to its original web page URL.

Does this URL ingestion tool organize pages by project automatically?▼

Automatic project routing is supported. If a current project context is detectable, the distilled web page is placed into that project's folder; otherwise, it routes to misc/ with affinity grouping over time.

How do I prevent malicious scripts from running when fetching web pages into my wiki?▼

Malicious script execution is prevented by avoiding execution of fetched content. This Skill respects content trust boundaries, safely distilling web pages into static markdown without rendering or running embedded scripts.
