  • Works in 5 steps: Find Recent Notes → Get Current Date → Analyze Connections for Each → …

  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, State Dependencies, Prerequisites and Process, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Integrate Recent Notes is an agent skill from Abilityai/cornelius. Find notes created in the last 14 days and discover their connections to the knowledge base

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered second brain template for Claude Code + Obsidian. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Knowledge bases

Example prompts

  • “/integrate-recent-notes”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Find Recent Notes
  2. Get Current Date
  3. Analyze Connections for Each
  4. Identify Integration Opportunities
  5. Create Integration Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd5e9a4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Integrate Recent Notes loads about 966 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 290 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~966

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Integrate Recent Notes

Find recently created notes and map their connections to the existing knowledge base.

Purpose

New notes often sit unconnected. This playbook identifies notes from the last 14 days and discovers how they integrate with existing knowledge.

State Dependencies

SourceLocationReadWriteDescription
Permanent NotesBrain/02-Permanent/✓Recent notes source
AI Extracted NotesBrain/AI Extracted Notes/✓Recent notes source
Document InsightsBrain/Document Insights/✓Recent notes source
Book scopesBrain/Books/✓Recent notes source (per-book scopes)
Local Brain Searchresources/local-brain-search/✓Connection discovery
Session ChangelogsBrain/05-Meta/Changelogs/✓Integration report

Prerequisites

  • Local Brain Search index up-to-date (/refresh-index)

Process

Step 1: Find Recent Notes

Find notes modified in the last 14 days:

bash
find Brain/02-Permanent -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/AI\ Extracted\ Notes -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/Document\ Insights -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f
find Brain/Books -name "*.md" -mtime -14 -type f

Compile list of recent notes.

Step 2: Get Current Date
bash
date '+%Y-%m-%d'
Step 3: Analyze Connections for Each

For each recent note:

  1. Extract note title from filename
  2. Run connection discovery (wide read-scope: recent notes live in 00-Inbox / Document Insights / Books / 05-Meta - core-only would fail to resolve the note itself or its non-core neighbors once scope enforcement is on):
    bash
    BRAIN_READ_SCOPE=core,Books,document-insights,meta,inbox,output resources/local-brain-search/run_connections.sh "Note Title" --json
  3. Record top 5 connections with similarity scores
  4. Check BDG layer classification:
    bash
    resources/brain-graph/run_brain_graph.sh inspect "Note Title" --json
Step 4: Identify Integration Opportunities

For each note, categorize:

  • Well-connected (3+ connections > 0.70): Already integrated
  • Partially connected (1-2 connections > 0.70): Needs attention
  • Isolated (0 connections > 0.70): Priority for integration
Step 5: Create Integration Report

Write to Brain/05-Meta/Changelogs/CHANGELOG - Note Integration YYYY-MM-DD.md:

markdown
## Note Integration Report: YYYY-MM-DD

### Recent Notes Analyzed
Total: [N] notes from last 14 days

### Integration Status

**Well-Connected** ([N]):
- [[Note A]] - 5 connections

**Partially Connected** ([N]):
- [[Note B]] - 2 connections
  - Suggested: Link to [[X]], [[Y]]

**Isolated - Priority** ([N]):
- [[Note C]] - 0 connections
  - Top semantic matches: [[X]] (0.65), [[Y]] (0.62)
  - Integration suggestion: [brief recommendation]

### Suggested Actions
1. [specific linking recommendations]
2. [synthesis opportunities]

Outputs

  • Integration report in Brain/05-Meta/Changelogs/
  • List of isolated notes needing attention
  • Suggested connections for each
