SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Raw articles, transcripts, and notes pile up without structure, making knowledge impossible to find later. This Skill turns any markdown source into an organized Obsidian knowledge base following the PARA methodology, with atomic notes, proper frontmatter, and interconnected wikilinks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Knowledge Extraction: Identifies atomic entities (concepts, insights, facts, practices) from a source and creates 3-8 standalone notes with claim-based names. - PARA Organization: Places source takeaway notes in 03. Ресурсы/<Тема>/<Источник>/ and atomic notes in the knowledge base folder, updating MOCs and existing notes with backlinks. - Duplicate Detection: Searches the vault with ripgrep before creating notes, updating existing notes instead of duplicating them. - Use Case: You saved a long article about Kubernetes observability. The Skill creates a source takeaway note with quotes and your thoughts, extracts atomic concept notes with confidence levels, links everything together, and logs the ingest in wiki-log.md. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to add this markdown article to your Obsidian knowledge base and extract the key ideas as linked atomic notes.

How do I add an article to my Obsidian knowledge base?

Provide the markdown file and ask to ingest it into the vault. The skill reads the source, extracts atomic concepts and insights, creates a source takeaway note plus linked atomic notes with frontmatter, and updates related existing notes with wikilinks.

How to organize notes in Obsidian using the PARA method?

PARA places source takeaway notes under 03. Ресурсы by topic, atomic thoughts in the knowledge base folder, and maps of content in 02. Сферы. This skill automates that placement, including templates, tags, and up/other link fields.

Does the skill avoid creating duplicate notes in Obsidian?

Yes. Before naming new notes it runs a ripgrep search across the vault for similar keywords. If a matching note exists, the plan updates that note with new links and content instead of creating a duplicate.

What types of content can be ingested into an Obsidian vault?

The skill accepts articles, web clips, transcripts, meeting notes, draft notes, and arbitrary markdown. It classifies the content type, assigns domain tags, and sets a confidence level based on how many sources support each idea.

Will ingesting modify or delete my original source file?

No. The source file is never deleted or overwritten, and existing notes are only extended with links, clarifications, or contradiction callouts, never rewritten from scratch. The user decides what to do with the original.
