SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill extracts composable knowledge notes from raw content, turning unstructured material into structured, retrievable domain knowledge in your vault.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Composable extraction: convert source material into modular notes that can be linked and reused.
  • Domain enrichment: create enrichment tasks when a source adds value to existing notes.
  • Cross-linking: connect new notes to related notes and topic maps for navigability.

Quick Start

Provide a source document to the extractor and it will generate atomic notes with reasoning and citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract structured domain knowledge from raw notes and research material?

To extract structured domain knowledge, provide raw source documents to the extractor to generate atomic, composable notes with reasoning and citations. This process converts unstructured material into categorized core notes, enrichment tasks, and cross-links.

What is the best way to organize daily logs into modular, cross-linked vault notes?

Organizing daily logs into modular vault notes requires applying a configurable derivation manifest to queue and process raw items. This yields composable notes connected to related topics and enrichment tasks for navigability.

How does knowledge extraction handle duplication when processing multiple inbox items?

Knowledge extraction handles duplication by identifying when a source adds value to existing notes and generating specific enrichment tasks. This prevents redundant notes by cross-linking new extractions to established domain topics.

Can I configure the extraction queue to process specific categories like open questions and tensions?

Yes, you can configure the extraction queue to process specific categories. The derivation manifest supports structured extraction for core notes, validations, tensions, open questions, and enrichment tasks.

Does this knowledge extraction method work without external dependencies?

Yes, this knowledge extraction method works without external dependencies. It operates internally to process raw source material, relying solely on its configurable derivation manifest and queue to generate atomic notes.

When should I use a derivation manifest for structured knowledge extraction?

You should use a derivation manifest for structured knowledge extraction when you need to turn unstructured inbox items or research notes into retrievable, composable domain knowledge with categories like validations and open questions.
