SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Knowledge-extraction eliminates the manual effort of summarizing long-form sources into reusable claims and spaced-repetition flashcards, so you retain what you read and can review it later.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase extraction: captures key claims with citations and confidence, then converts them into Anki or Mochi-style flashcards.
  • Frameworks and takeaways: produces named mental models, actionable steps, open questions, and follow-up reads from a source.
  • Operator-private storage: writes outputs to ~/.config/walter-os/state/knowledge/YYYY-MM/<source-slug>.md for manual import into spaced-repetition tools.
  • Use case: After finishing a book chapter, generate a structured claims document and then turn those claims into Q/A cards for ongoing review.

Quick Start

Use knowledge-extraction to extract and structure claims from a paper by providing your source text and metadata, then run a second pass to convert the extraction into Anki or Mochi cards.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn research notes into Anki flashcards automatically?

To turn research notes into Anki flashcards, the Skill extracts key claims and citations from your source text in a first pass, then runs a second pass to convert those structured claims into spaced-repetition Q/A cards formatted for Anki or Mochi.

What is the best way to extract key claims and frameworks from long-form articles?

The best way to extract claims and frameworks from long-form articles is using a two-phase extraction process that captures key claims with citations and confidence, then generates named mental models and actionable takeaways from the source.

Can I generate spaced repetition cards from Markdown documents?

Yes, you can generate spaced repetition cards from Markdown documents. The Skill applies its extraction logic to books, papers, articles, or Markdown files to produce structured claims before converting them into Q/A flashcards.

Do I need to provide metadata to extract knowledge from a book chapter?

Yes, you need to supply the source text and metadata to extract knowledge from a book chapter. The Skill requires an output slug alongside your input to organize the generated claims documents and flashcards into local Markdown files.

What formats does the knowledge extraction output for manual review?

The knowledge extraction outputs Markdown documents containing structured claims, frameworks, and Q/A flashcards. These files are written to a local state directory, allowing you to manually import the spaced-repetition cards into Anki or Mochi.
