FAQPage Schema
How do I migrate external notes into a structured taxonomy?

To migrate external notes into a structured taxonomy, this Skill automates content intake, classifies chunks based on confidence scoring, and commits files with provenance tracking. It processes sources like .md, .txt, and exports from Obsidian or Notion.

Can I import Obsidian and Notion exports into LifeOS automatically?

Yes, you can import Obsidian and Notion exports into LifeOS automatically. The Skill accepts these external formats along with stdin and standard text files, classifying the content against the LifeOS taxonomy during intake.

How does confidence scoring work during content classification?

Confidence scoring during content classification drives the migration flow by auto-approving high-confidence matches, requiring confirmation for medium-confidence ones, and triggering a manual walk-through for low-confidence classifications.

What is the best way to track provenance when migrating markdown files?

The best way to track provenance when migrating markdown files is using this Skill's built-in tracking feature, which commits classified content chunks alongside their original source information to maintain accurate attribution within the LifeOS structure.

Does content migration support stdin and custom instruction files?

Yes, content migration supports stdin and custom instruction files. The Skill is designed to ingest content from standard input, CLAUDE.md, Cursor, and OpenAI Custom Instructions, alongside standard markdown and text files.
